信仰的基础-第155章
“你要以财物和一切初熟的土产尊荣耶和华。这样,你的仓库必充满有余,你的酒醡有新酒盈溢”(箴3:9,10)。{FLB 160.1}[1]
信仰的基础-第155章
Talents for All
Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.Proverbs 3:9, 10.{FLB 160.1}[1]
信仰的基础-第155章
这节经文教导说,那位赐给我们一切福惠的上帝,对这些福惠是有要求的。我们首先要考虑祂的要求。尊重这要求的人能获得上帝的特别福气。{FLB 160.2}[2]
信仰的基础-第155章
This scripture teaches that God, as the giver of all our benefits, has a claim upon them all; that His claim should be our first consideration; and that a special blessing will attend all who honor this claim.{FLB 160.2}[2]
信仰的基础-第155章
上帝对待人的原则由此可见。祂把我们的始祖安置在伊甸园中,让各样能增进他们幸福的事物围绕他们,嘱咐他们承认祂是万物的主宰。祂使园中的各样树木生长,或悦人眼目,或可食用。但祂却保留了一棵。除此之外,亚当和夏娃都可以随意吃。但上帝论到这一棵说:“你不可吃。”这是他们对上帝的感激和忠诚的考验。{FLB 160.3}[3]
信仰的基础-第155章
Herein is set forth a principle that is seen in all God’s dealings with men. The Lord placed our first parents in the Garden of Eden. He surrounded them with everything that could minister to their happiness, and He bade them acknowledge Him as the possessor of all things. In the Garden He caused to grow every tree that was pleasant to the eye or good for food; but among them He made one reserve. Of all else, Adam and Eve might freely eat; but of this one tree God said, “Thou shalt not eat of it.” Here was the test of their gratitude and loyalty to God.{FLB 160.3}[3]

上帝赐下耶稣,就是把天上最丰富的财宝赐给了我们。因着祂的恩赐,我们得以丰富地享受各样东西。(CS 65){FLB 160.4}[4]
信仰的基础-第155章
So the Lord has imparted to us heaven’s richest treasure in giving us Jesus. With Him He has given us all things richly to enjoy.5{FLB 160.4}[4]
信仰的基础-第155章
上帝还把钱财托付给人。祂赐给人获得财富的能力。……{FLB 160.5}[5]
信仰的基础-第155章
God ... entrusts men with means. He gives them power to get wealth....{FLB 160.5}[5]
信仰的基础-第155章
上帝把钱财赐给我们,不是要我们为尊荣自己而使用。我们作为忠心的管家,应当用钱财来荣耀上帝。有人以为自己的财物只有一部分是属乎上帝的。当他们将一部分捐给宗教和慈善事业之后,其余的就看作是自己的了,可以按照自己的意思而使用。但这种看法是错误的。我们的一切都是属于上帝的,必须为如何使用而向祂交账。我们花每一分钱,都要考虑到我们是否爱上帝为至上,并且爱邻舍如同自己。金钱是有很大价值的,因为它能成就很多善事。在上帝的儿女手里,金钱可以给饥饿的有饭吃,口渴的有水喝,赤身的有衣穿。……金钱只有用来供应生活的需要、造福他人和推进基督的事业才有价值,否则它就与沙土无异。(COL 351){FLB 160.6}[6]
信仰的基础-第155章
Our money has not been given us that we might honor and glorify ourselves. As faithful stewards we are to use it for the honor and glory of God. Some think that only a portion of their means is the Lord’s. When they have set apart a portion for religious and charitable purposes, they regard the remainder as their own, to be used as they see fit. But in this they mistake. All we possess is the Lord’s, and we are accountable to Him for the use we make of it. In the use of every penny, it will be seen whether we love God supremely and our neighbor as ourselves. Money has great value, because it can do great good. In the hands of God’s children it is food for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, and clothing for the naked.... But money is of no more value than sand, only as it is put to use in providing for the necessities of life, in blessing others, and advancing the cause of Christ.6{FLB 160.6}[6]
