信仰的基础-第55章

God’s Character and Providences
Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.Acts 10:34, 35.{FLB 60.1}[1]

上帝是不偏待人的。……凡得到亮光却不顺从,反而忽视上帝的要求的人,必发现他们的福气要变成咒诅,他们的怜悯要变成刑罚。(3T.172){FLB 60.2}[2]
信仰的基础-第55章
God is no respecter of persons.... Those who have the light and do not follow it, but disregard the requirements of God, will find that their blessings will be changed into curses and their mercies into judgments.110{FLB 60.2}[2]
信仰的基础-第55章
在人看来,罪有轻重之分。在上帝看来,也是如此。但尽管有一些错误在人眼中是无关紧要的,但在上帝眼中没有一件罪是小的。人的判断是有偏见而不全面的,但上帝权衡万事总是照着实情。人们看不起酒徒,认为他的罪会妨碍他进天国。可是人们往往没有责备骄傲,自私和贪婪。其实这些罪是特别得罪上帝的,因为与祂善良的品德和从未堕落的宇宙所充满的无私之爱背道而驰。(SC 30){FLB 60.3}[3]
信仰的基础-第55章
God does not regard all sins as of equal magnitude; there are degrees of guilt in His estimation, as well as in that of man; but however trifling this or that wrong act may seem in the eyes of men, no sin is small in the sight of God. Man’s judgment is partial, imperfect; but God estimates all things as they really are. The drunkard is despised, and is told that his sin will exclude him from heaven; while pride, selfishness, and covetousness too often go unrebuked. But these are sins that are especially offensive to God; for they are contrary to the benevolence of His character, to that unselfish love which is the very atmosphere of the unfallen universe.111{FLB 60.3}[3]
信仰的基础-第55章
罪的狰狞面目,只有在十字架的光照之下,才能识别。那些声称上帝非常善良,不会抛弃罪人的人应当仰望髑髅地。因为除此之外,别无拯救。没有这样的牺牲.人类就不可能脱离罪的权势,与圣洁的生灵恢复交往。如果不是基督亲自担当叛逆之人的罪,代替罪人受苦,我们就不可能重新得到属灵的生命。上帝儿子的慈爱,受苦和受死都证明罪的穷凶极恶,说明人心只有顺服基督,才能脱离罪的权势,有希望度更高尚的生活。(SC 31){FLB 60.4}[4]
信仰的基础-第55章
The exceeding sinfulness of sin can be estimated only in the light of the cross. When men urge that God is too good to cast off the sinner, let them look to Calvary. It was because there was no other way in which man could be saved, because without this sacrifice it was impossible for the human race to escape from the defiling power of sin, and be restored to communion with holy beings—impossible for them again to become partakers of spiritual life—it was because of this that Christ took upon Himself the guilt of the disobedient, and suffered in the sinner’s stead. The love and suffering and death of the Son of God all testify to the terrible enormity of sin, and declare that there is no escape from its power, no hope of the higher life, but through the submission of the soul to Christ.112{FLB 60.4}[4]
信仰的基础-第55章
但愿我们的心灵获得提高,超脱罪恶的低地,默想那一位无限良善、恩惠、慈爱,但不以有罪的为无罪的上帝。(RH.1889.3.19){FLB 60.5}[5]
信仰的基础-第55章
Let the soul be uplifted from the lowlands of sin to contemplate the God of all goodness, mercy, and love, but who will in no wise clear the guilty.113{FLB 60.5}[5]
