The Faith That Works, March 25
信仰的基础-第85章
“人非有信,就不能得上帝的喜悦;因为到上帝面前来的人,必须信有上帝,且信祂赏赐那寻求祂的人”(来11:6)。{FLB 90.1}[1]
信仰的基础-第85章
Faith and the Gospel
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.Hebrews 11:6.{FLB 90.1}[1]
信仰的基础-第85章
信心不是确实地知道,而是“所望之事的实底,是未见之事的确据”(来11:1)。(ST.1876.3.3){FLB 90.2}[2]
信仰的基础-第85章
Faith is not certainty of knowledge, it is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.107{FLB 90.2}[2]
信仰的基础-第85章
信心就是依靠上帝,相信祂爱我们,知道什么是对我们最有益的。这样,信心就引领我们不随自己的道路而选择上帝的道路。信心是接纳祂的智慧来代替我们的愚昧,接纳祂的大能代替我们的软弱,接纳祂的公义代替我们的罪恶。我们的生命和我们自己是属于祂的;信心承认祂的主权,并接受祂所赐的福惠。诚实、正直、纯洁是人生成功的秘诀。信心使我们得到这一切。每一善良的愿望和志向,都是上帝的恩赐。信心从上帝那里接受那唯一能导致真实成长和效能的生命。(GW 259){FLB 90.3}[3]
信仰的基础-第85章
Faith is trusting in God—believing that He loves us, and knows what is for our best good. Thus, instead of our own way, it leads us to choose His way. In place of our ignorance, it accepts His wisdom; in place of our weakness, His strength; in place of our sinfulness, His righteousness. Our lives, ourselves, are already His; faith acknowledges His ownership, and accepts its blessing. Truth, uprightness, purity, are pointed out as secrets of life’s success. It is faith that puts us in possession of these. Every good impulse or aspiration is the gift of God; faith receives from God the life that alone can produce true growth and efficiency.108{FLB 90.3}[3]
信仰的基础-第85章
我们在谈到论信心的时候,必须留心加以区别。有一种所谓的信,是与信心毫不相关的。上帝的存在与权能,祂话语的真实性,是连撒但和他的党羽也无法否认的事实。圣经说:“魔鬼也信。却是战惊”(雅2:19)。但这不是信心。真正的信心,不但相信上帝的话,而且甘心顺从祂。我们乐意顺服祂,感情就会集中在祂身上。这是那生发仁爱并洁净心灵的信心。藉着这样的信心,我们的心能按照上帝的形像更新。在我们的心未经更新的时候,是不服上帝律法,也是不能服的,但如今却喜爱这圣洁的诫命,并与诗人同说:“我何等爱慕祢的律法.终日不住的思想”(诗119:97)。律法的义便成就在我们“这不随从肉体,只随从圣灵的人身上”(罗8:4)。(SC 63){FLB 90.4}[4]
信仰的基础-第85章
When we speak of faith, there is a distinction that should be borne in mind. There is a kind of belief that is wholly distinct from faith. The existence and power of God, the truth of His Word, are facts that even Satan and his hosts cannot at heart deny. The Bible says that “the devils also believe, and tremble”; but this is not faith. Where there is not only a belief in God’s Word, but a submission of the will to Him; where the heart is yielded to Him, the affections fixed upon Him, there is faith—faith that works by love and purifies the soul. Through this faith the heart is renewed in the image of God. And the heart that in its unrenewed state is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be, now delights in its holy precepts, exclaiming with the psalmist, “O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.”Psalm 119:97. And the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us, “who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”Romans 8:1.109{FLB 90.4}[4]
信仰的基础-第85章
信心不能为我们赚得什么,它是上帝的恩赐。我们接受基督为个人的救主,就可以得到和保持这个恩赐。(6BC.1080){FLB 90.5}[5]
信仰的基础-第85章
Faith earns nothing for us; it is the gift of God, which we may receive and cherish by making Christ our personal Saviour.110{FLB 90.5}[5]
