九月十七日顺从是信心的果子
彰显主基督-第261章
Obedience, the Fruit of Faith, September 17
彰显主基督-第261章
“如今你们若实在听从我的话,遵守我的约,就要在万民中作属我的子民,因为全地都是我的”(出19:5)。{RC274.1}
彰显主基督-第261章
If ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine. Exodus 19:5. {RC 274.1}
彰显主基督-第261章
顺从——出于爱心的事奉和效忠——是信徒的真正标志。所以经上说,“我们遵守上帝的诫命.这就是爱祂了。”人若说我认识祂,却不遵守祂的诚命,便是说谎话的,真理也不在他心里了”(约壹5:3;2:4)。信心绝不会解除人顺从的义务。只有信心才能使我们得到主的恩典,并且甘心顺从。{RC274.2}

Obedience—the service and allegiance of love—is the true sign of discipleship. Thus the Scripture says, “This is the love of God, that we keep His commandments” (1 John 5:3). “He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him,” (chap. 2:4). Instead of releasing man from obedience, it is faith, and faith only, that makes us partakers of the grace of Christ, which enables us to render obedience. {RC 274.2}

我们不是靠顺从来赚得救恩,因为救恩是上帝白白的恩赐,要凭着信心去领受。但顺从却是信心的果实。“你们知道主曾显现,是要除掉人的罪。在祂并没有罪。凡住在祂里面的,就不犯罪。凡犯罪的,是未曾看见祂,也未曾认识祂”(约壹3:5,6)。这就是真正的试石。如果我们住在基督里面,上帝的爱如果住在我们心中,我们的感情,思想,志向,行动就会与上帝表现在祂圣律法中的旨意和谐一致。“小子们哪!不要被人诱惑,行义的才是义人,正是主是义一样”(约壹3:7)。这义就是上帝圣律法的标准,体现在西奈山所颁布的十诚中。{RC274.3}
彰显主基督-第261章
We do not earn salvation by our obedience, for salvation is the free gift of God, to be received by faith. But obedience is the fruit of faith. “Ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not” (chap. 3:5, 6). Here is the true test. If we abide in Christ, if the love of God dwells in us, our feelings, our thoughts, our purposes, our actions, will be in harmony with the will of God as expressed in the precepts of His holy law. “Little children, let no man deceive you; he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous” (verse 7). Righteousness is defined by the standard of God’s holy law, as expressed in the ten precepts given on Sinai. {RC 274.3}

那种认为信了基督就可以不顺从上帝的所谓信心.并不是信心,而是妄想。“你们得救是本乎恩,也因着信”(弗2:8)。但是“信心若没没有行为,就是死的(雅2:17)。耶稣在降世之前曾论到自己说:“我的上帝啊,我乐意照你的旨意行。你的律法在我的心里”(诗40:8)。祂升天以前又宣称“我遵守了我父的命令,常在祂的爱里。(约15:10)。圣经说.“我们若遵守祂的诫命,就晓得是认识祂”。“人若说他住在主里面,就该自己照主所行的去行”(约壹2:3-6)。{RC274.4}
彰显主基督-第261章
The so-called faith in Christ which professes to release men from the obligation of obedience to God is not faith, but presumption. “By grace are ye saved through faith” (Ephesians 2:8). But “faith, if it hath not works, is dead” (James 2:17). Jesus said of Himself before He came to earth, “I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart” (Psalm 40:8). And just before He ascended again to heaven, He declared, “I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love” (John 15:10). The Scriptures says, “Hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments” (1 John 2:3).... {RC 274.4}

得永生的条件始终是一样的。现在与我们始祖堕落之先在伊甸园中并无不同,就是完全服从上帝的律法,完全行义。如果的永生的条件达不到这一点,全宇宙的幸福势必遭到破坏,并为罪恶打开出路,伴随而来的是一连串绵绵无尽期的灾难和祸患。……{RC274.5}
彰显主基督-第261章
The condition of eternal life is now just what it always has been—just what it was in Paradise before the fall of our first parents—perfect obedience to the law of God, perfect righteousness. If eternal life were granted on any condition short of this, then the happiness of the whole universe would be imperiled. The way would be open for sin, with all its train of woe and misery, to be immortalized.... {RC 274.5}

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.60-65){RC274.6}
彰显主基督-第261章
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, 60-65. {RC 274.6}
