彰显主基督-第301章
The Knowledge of God Is Vital, October 27
彰显主基督-第301章
“智慧人不要因他的智慧夸口,勇士不要因他的勇力夸口,财主不要因他的财物夸口,夸口的却因他有聪明,认识我是耶和华”(耶9:23,24)。{RC314.1}
彰显主基督-第301章
Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me. Jeremiah 9:23, 24. {RC 314.1}
彰显主基督-第301章
信徒既然接受了福音的信仰,他的下一步工作就是要在自己品格上加上德行,藉此洁净心灵并预备自己的思想去接受认识上帝的知识。这种知识乃是一切真教育和真服务的基础。它乃是抵御试探唯一可靠的保障。惟有这种知识能使人在品格上“像上帝”。一个信徒若能认识上帝和祂的儿子耶稣基督,他就必须领受“一切关乎生命和虔敬的事。”上帝决不保留一样良好的恩赐不给予那真诚愿意得着上帝之公义的人。{RC314.2}
彰显主基督-第301章
Having received the faith of the gospel, ... the believer is to add to his character virtue, and thus cleanse the heart and prepare the mind for the reception of the knowledge of God. This knowledge is the foundation of all true education and of all true service. It is the only real safeguard against temptation; and it is this alone that can make one like God in character. Through the knowledge of God and of His Son, Jesus Christ, are given to the believer “all things that pertain unto life and godliness.” No good gift is withheld from him who sincerely desires to obtain the righteousness of God. {RC 314.2}
彰显主基督-第301章
基督说:“认识祢独一的真神,并且认识祢所差来的耶稣基督,这就是永生”(约17:3)。先知耶利米说:“智慧人不要因他的智慧夸口,勇士不要因他的勇力夸口,财主不要因他的财物夸口。夸口的却因他有聪明,认识我是耶和华,又知道我喜悦在世上施行慈爱公平和公义,以此夸口。这是耶和华说的”(耶9:23-24)。一个获得这种认识的人所能达到属灵造诣的长阔高深,几乎是人的思想所不能领会的。{RC314.3}
彰显主基督-第301章
“This is life eternal,” Christ said, “that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent” (John 17:3). And the prophet Jeremiah declared: ... “I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord” (Jeremiah 9:24). Scarcely can the human mind comprehend the breadth and depth and height of the spiritual attainments of him who gains this knowledge. {RC 314.3}
彰显主基督-第301章
人人都可在自己的生活范围之内造就一个完全基督化的品格。由于基督的牺牲,上帝已经作了充分的安排,使信祂的人可以承受一切关乎生命和虔敬的事。上帝呼召我们追求那完全的标准。祂把基督品格的榜样摆在我们面前。救主已经藉着祂那恒切抗拒罪恶的生活,在祂的人性中证明:人类尽可以藉着与上帝合作,而在今生造就完全的品格。上帝如此向我们保证,我们可以获得完全的胜利。{RC314.4}
彰显主基督-第301章
None need fail of attaining, in his sphere, to perfection of Christian character. By the sacrifice of Christ, provision has been made for the believer to receive all things that pertain to life and godliness. God calls upon us to reach the standard of perfection and places before us the example of Christ’s character. In His humanity, perfected by a life of constant resistance of evil, the Saviour showed that through cooperation with Divinity, human beings may in this life attain to perfection of character. This is God’s assurance to us that we, too, may obtain complete victory. {RC 314.4}
彰显主基督-第301章
上帝向每一个信徒提供“与基督相似”和顺从律法全部原则的奇妙可能性。但人靠自己是绝对不能达到这个地步的。圣经所说“人非圣洁就没有人能见主”,这种圣洁乃是在人顺从真理圣灵的锻炼和遏制的作用之后,上帝恩典工作的结果。人的顺从惟有靠基督公义的馨香才得完全。祂的义以上帝的香气充满每一件顺从的行为。{RC314.5}
彰显主基督-第301章
Before the believer is held out the wonderful possibility of being like Christ, obedient to all the principles of the law.... The holiness that God’s Word declares he must have before he can be saved is the result of the working of divine grace as he bows in submission to the discipline and restraining influences of the Spirit of truth. Man’s obedience can be made perfect only by the incense of Christ’s righteousness, which fills with divine fragrance every act of obedience. {RC 314.5}
彰显主基督-第301章
基督徒的本分乃是要恒切努力战胜每一个错行。他必须不住地祈求救主医治他那因罪而患病的心灵。他自己没有得胜的智慧或能力;这些乃是属于上帝的。祂要将智慧或能力赐给那些以谦卑的心和痛悔的灵寻求祂帮助的人。(AA.530-532){RC314.6}
彰显主基督-第301章
The part of the Christian is to persevere in overcoming every fault. Constantly he is to pray to the Saviour to heal the disorders of his sin-sick soul. He has not the wisdom or the strength to overcome; these belong to the Lord, and He bestows them on those who in humiliation and contrition seek Him for help.—The Acts of the Apostles, 530-532. {RC 314.6}
