The Heavenly Father’s Claim, May 1
一同在天上-第123章
“惟愿他们存这样的心敬畏我,常遵守我的一切诫命,使他们和他们的子孙永远得福”(申5:29)!{HP128.1}[1]
一同在天上-第123章
O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!?Deuteronomy 5:29.{HP 128.1}[1]
一同在天上-第123章
上帝既然是祂子民的父亲,就以父亲的身份要求我们忠诚的服务。要思考基督的生平。祂站在人类的前头,侍奉祂的父,成为了每一个作儿女的所应当而且能够效法的榜样。基督所表现的服从,就是今日上帝向人类所要求的。祂甘心乐意地凭着爱心侍奉祂的父。祂说:“我的上帝啊,我乐意照祢的旨意行;祢的律法在我心里”(诗40:8)。基督为了完成祂降世的使命,不以任何牺牲为太重大,也不以任何辛劳为太艰巨。祂在十二岁的时候说:“岂不知我应当以我父的事为念吗”(路2:49)?祂听从了呼召,负起了工作。祂说:“我的食物,就是遵行差我来者的旨意,作成祂的工”(约4:34)。{HP128.2}[2]

God stands toward His people in the relation of a father, and He has a father’s claim to our faithful service. Consider the life of Christ. Standing at the head of humanity, serving His Father, He is an example of what every son should and may be. The obedience that Christ rendered, God requires from human beings today. He served His Father in love, with willingness and freedom. “I delight to do thy will, O my God,” He declared: “yea, thy law is within my heart” (Psalm 40:8). Christ counted no sacrifice too great, no toil too hard, in order to accomplish the work which He came to do. At the age of twelve He said, “Wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?” (Luke 2:49). He had heard the call, and had taken up the work. “My meat,” He said, “is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work” (John 4:34).{HP 128.2}[2]

我们也当这样侍奉上帝。惟有实行最高顺从标准的人才算是服务的。凡要成为上帝儿女的人,必须证明自己是基督和上帝并天使的同工。这是对于每一个人的考验。……{HP128.3}[3]
一同在天上-第123章
Thus we are to serve God. He only serves who acts up to the highest standard of obedience. All who would be sons and daughters of God must prove themselves co-workers with Christ and God and the heavenly angels. This is the test for every soul....{HP 128.3}[3]

上帝在实行祂一切计划的时候,祂主要的目的是要试验人,给他们机会造就品格,藉此看看他们是顺从还是违背祂的命令。善行固然不能购买上帝的慈爱,但能表明我们拥有这爱。我们如果将心意顺服上帝,就不会为赚得上帝的爱而工作。我们必要将祂的爱心作为一种白白的恩赐而接到心中,并因爱祂而乐意顺从祂的命令。{HP128.4}[4]
一同在天上-第123章
God’s great object in the working out of His providences is to try men, to give them opportunity to develop character. Thus He proves whether they are obedient or disobedient to His commands. Good works do not purchase the love of God, but they reveal that we possess that love. If we surrender the will to God, we shall not work in order to earn God’s love. His love as a free gift will be received into the soul, and from love to Him we shall delight to obey His commandments.{HP 128.4}[4]

今日在世上只有两等人,而且在将来审判时也只承认有两等人,一等是违背上帝律法的,一等是顺从的。基督给我们一个检验的标准,藉以证明我们是忠诚的还是叛逆的。祂说:“你们若爱我就必遵守我的命令。……有了我的命令又遵守的,这人就是爱我的……”(约14:15,22)。{HP128.5}[5]
一同在天上-第123章
There are only two classes in the world today, and only two classes will be recognized in the judgment—those who violate God’s law and those who obey it. Christ gives the test by which we prove our loyalty or disloyalty. “If ye love me,” He says, “keep my commandments.... He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me ...” (John 14:15-21).1{HP 128.5}[5]
