信仰的基础-第183章
“雅各睡醒了,说:‘耶和华真在这里!我竟不知道。’就惧怕说;‘这地方何等可畏!这不是别的,乃是上帝的殿,也是天的门’”(创28:16,17)。{FLB 188.1}[1]

Holiness of the Divine Presence
And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not. And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.Genesis 28:16, 17.{FLB 188.1}[1]
信仰的基础-第183章
一个人之所以能对上帝表示真实的崇敬,乃是因为他感觉到上帝的无限伟大,并体会到祂与我们同在。人的心既对冥冥中的主有了这种感觉,就必深深有动于衷。祈祷的时辰和地点都是神圣的,因为有上帝临格。而且当我们在态度和姿容上表示尊敬时,这种感觉就必加深。诗人说:“祂的名圣而可畏”(诗111:9)。当天使在称呼上帝的名时,他们都要遮盖自己的脸。如此看来,我们这些堕落有罪的人在提说祂的圣名时,岂不更当肃敬吗!不论老少,人人都该思考这些说明应如何尊重上帝所特别临格之处的经文。祂曾在焚烧的荆棘中吩咐摩西说:“当把你脚上的鞋脱下来,因为你所站之地是圣地”(出3:5)。(PK 48){FLB 188.2}[2]
信仰的基础-第183章
True reverence for God is inspired by a sense of His infinite greatness and a realization of His presence. With this sense of the Unseen, every heart should be deeply impressed. The hour and place of prayer are sacred, because God is there. And as reverence is manifested in attitude and demeanor, the feeling that inspires it will be deepened. “Holy and reverend is his name,” the psalmist declares (Psalm 111:9). Angels, when they speak that name, veil their faces. With what reverence, then, should we, who are fallen and sinful, take it upon our lips! Well would it be for old and young to ponder those words of Scripture that show how the place marked by God’s special presence should be regarded. “Put off thy shoes from off thy feet,” He commanded Moses at the burning bush, “for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.”Exodus 3:5.1{FLB 188.2}[2]
信仰的基础-第183章
上帝是至高至圣的,对于谦卑相信的人,祂在地上的居所、祂百姓聚集敬拜的地方,乃是天国的门。赞美的歌和传道人所说的话,都是上帝所命定,为天上的教会更高的敬拜预备一班百姓。在那里,不洁净的不能进去。……上帝看见每一个不恭敬的思想和行动,并且都记在天上的册子里。……没有什么东西能躲开祂鉴察人心的眼目。不论你在什么程度上养成了在上帝殿中漫不经心的习惯,都当尽力纠正它。……要学习恭敬直到养成习惯。(MYP.265,266){FLB 188.3}[3]
信仰的基础-第183章
God is high and holy; and to the humble, believing soul, His house on earth, the place where His people meet for worship, is as the gate of heaven. The song of praise, the words spoken by Christ’s ministers, are God’s appointed agencies to prepare a people for the church above, for that loftier worship into which there can enter nothing that is impure.... God sees every irreverent thought or action, and it is registered in the books of heaven.... Nothing is hid from His all-searching eye. If you have formed in any degree the habit of inattention and indifference in the house of God, exercise the powers you have to correct it.... Practice reverence until it becomes a part of yourself.2{FLB 188.3}[3]
