四月十九日生发仁爱的信心
彰显主基督-第110章
Faith That Works by Love, April 19
彰显主基督-第110章
“你要专心仰赖耶和华,不可倚靠自己的聪明”(箴3:5)。{RC123.1}
彰显主基督-第110章
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Proverbs 3:5. {RC 123.1}
彰显主基督-第110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。{RC123.2}
彰显主基督-第110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” (James 2:19); 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. {RC 123.2}
彰显主基督-第110章
藉着这样的信心,我们的心能按照上帝的形象更新。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:“我何等爱幕你的律法.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)。{RC123.3}
彰显主基督-第110章
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). {RC 123.3}
彰显主基督-第110章
有些人明知基督赦罪的爱,并真心希望做上帝的儿子。但他们看到自己品格的残缺和生活中的过错,就怀疑自己的心没有被圣灵所更新。我要对这样的人说,切莫灰心后退。我们有过失,有错误,不免经常在耶稣脚前俯伏哭泣。但我们不要因此而沮丧。即使我们被仇敌所胜,也不致被上帝抛弃拒绝。基督在上帝的右边为我们代求。蒙爱的约翰说:“我将这些话写给你们,是要叫你们不犯罪。若有人犯罪,在父那里我们有一位中保,那就是义者基督耶稣”(约壹2:1)。{RC123.4}
彰显主基督-第110章
There are those who have known the pardoning love of Christ and who really desire to be children of God, yet they realize that their character is imperfect, their life faulty, and they are ready to doubt whether their hearts have been renewed by the Holy Spirit. To such I would say, Do not draw back in despair. We shall often have to bow down and weep at the feet of Jesus because of our shortcomings and mistakes, but we are not to be discouraged. Even if we are overcome by the enemy, we are not cast off, not forsaken and rejected of God. No; Christ is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Said the beloved John, “These things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous” (1 John 2:1). {RC 123.4}
彰显主基督-第110章
更不要忘记基督的话:“父自己爱你们”(约16:27)。祂希望你回到祂身边,反映祂的神圣和纯洁。只要你愿意顺服他,那在你心中已经动了善工的主,必成全这工,直到耶稣基督的日子。要更加热切地祈求,更加真诚地信靠。……{RC123.5}
彰显主基督-第110章
And do not forget the words of Christ, “the Father himself loveth you” (John 16:27). He desires to restore you to Himself, to see His own purity and holiness reflected in you. And if you will but yield yourself to Him, He that hath begun a good work in you will carry it forward to the day of Jesus Christ. Pray more fervently; believe more fully.... {RC 123.5}
彰显主基督-第110章
我们越少看重自己,就越多地看到我们救主的无限纯洁和慈爱。我们看见了自己的罪,就会亲近那一位能赦免罪孽的救主。当我们意识到自己的无助,而向基督求助的时候,祂就会显示自己的权能。我们越觉得自己的贫乏而投奔救主和上帝的道,我们对祂的品德,越会有越高的认识。我们也就更加充分地反映祂的形象。(SC.63-65){RC123.6}
彰显主基督-第110章
The less we see to esteem in ourselves, the more we shall see to esteem in the infinite purity and loveliness of our Saviour. A view of our sinfulness drives us to Him who can pardon; and when the soul, realizing its helplessness, reaches out after Christ, He will reveal Himself in power. The more our sense of need drives us to Him and to the Word of God, the more exalted views we shall have of His character, and the more fully we shall reflect His image.—Steps to Christ, 63-65. {RC 123.6}
