What the Spirit of Liberality Will Do, September 13
彰显主基督-第257章
“有施散的，却更增添。……好施舍的，必得丰裕。滋润人的，必得滋润”（箴11:24,25）。{RC270.1}
彰显主基督-第257章
There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth.... The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. Proverbs 11:24, 25. {RC 270.1}
彰显主基督-第257章
很多人怜惜上帝的以色列民的命运，因为他们必须定期捐献，此外每年还要慷慨奉献。然而全智的上帝最清楚何种捐献制度符合祂天意的安排，并就此给祂子民作了指示。事实总是证明，那十分之九对他们来说比十分之十更有价值。那些企图用扣留上帝的钱财而增加自己收入的人，或者是用那些次等的祭物——瘸腿的，瞎眼的，或者患病的——来增加自己的收入的人，必定遭受损失。{RC270.2}
彰显主基督-第257章
Many have pitied the lot of the Israel of God in being compelled to give systematically, besides making liberal offerings yearly. An all-wise God knew best what system of benevolence would be in accordance with His providence, and has given His people directions in regard to it. It has ever proved that nine tenths are worth more to them than ten tenths. Those who have thought to increase their gains by withholding from God, or by bringing Him an inferior offering—the lame, the blind, or the diseased—have been sure to suffer loss. {RC 270.2}
彰显主基督-第257章
天意虽不可见，却总在人间的事务中运行。上帝的手可以使人成功也可以制止人，而且祂常常抑制这个人，同时似乎又使另一个人昌盛。这一切都是要检验人，使各人的心意显明出来。祂允许不幸临到某个弟兄，同时却使他人成功，要看明那些蒙祂恩待之人是否敬畏祂，愿意履行圣经中所吩咐他们的职责，爱他们的邻舍如同自己，并且本着喜爱行善的心帮助更穷的弟兄。慷慨乐施的行为是上帝计划的，要使人心保持温柔同情，鼓励人效法主，彼此关爱，主为我们的缘故成为贫穷，好使我们因祂的贫穷可以成为富足。十分之一的律法是建立在一个持久的原则之上，原是要使人得福的。{RC270.3}
彰显主基督-第257章
Providence, though unseen, is ever at work in the affairs of men. God’s hand can prosper or withhold, and He frequently withholds from one while He seems to prosper another. All this is to test and prove man to reveal the heart. He lets misfortune overtake one brother while He prospers others to see if those whom He favors have His fear before their eyes and will perform the duty enjoined upon them in His Word to love their neighbor as themselves and to help their poorer brother from a love to do good. Acts of generosity and benevolence were designed by God to keep the hearts of the children of men tender and sympathetic and to encourage in them an interest and affection for one another in imitation of the Master, who for our sakes became poor, that we through His poverty might be made rich. The law of tithing was founded upon an enduring principle and was designed to be a blessing to man. {RC 270.3}
彰显主基督-第257章
安排捐献的制度原是要防止贪婪这种大恶的。（3T.546，547）{RC270.4}
彰显主基督-第257章
The system of benevolence was arranged to prevent the great evil, covetousness.—Testimonies for the Church 3:546, 547. {RC 270.4}
彰显主基督-第257章
慈善的涓涓细流，必须时常保持川流不息地流入库中。上帝的天意高瞻远瞩，遥遥领先，远远超越我们慷慨捐输的速度。（WM.268）{RC270.5}
彰显主基督-第257章
The small streams of beneficence must be ever kept flowing into the treasury. God’s providence is far ahead, moving onward much faster than our liberalities.—Welfare Ministry, 268. {RC 270.5}
彰显主基督-第257章
基督的恩典藉着信徒的言行表达出来时，就有光照耀在黑暗中的人。因为他们在张口赞美上帝的时候，也会伸手行善，帮助将亡的人。{RC270.6}
彰显主基督-第257章
When the grace of Christ is expressed in the words and works of the believers, light will shine forth to those who are in darkness; for while the lips are speaking to the praise of God, the hand will be stretched out in beneficence for the help of the perishing. {RC 270.6}
彰显主基督-第257章
我们读到当五旬节圣灵沛降在众信徒身上时，没有一个人说他的东西有一样是自己的。他们所有的都用来促进奇妙的改革工作。一天之内有数千人悔改。今日若有同样的精神激励信徒，而他们又照同样的慷慨心怀把原属上帝的归还给祂，就必完成广大深远的工作。（WM.271）{RC270.7}
彰显主基督-第257章
We read that on the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples, no man said that aught that he possessed was his own. All they owned was held for the advance of the wonderful reformation. And thousands were converted in a day. When the same spirit actuates believers today, and they give back to God of His own with the same liberality, a wide and far-reaching work will be accomplished.—Welfare Ministry, 271. {RC 270.7}
