A Revelation of God’s Will and Character, February 1
彰显主基督-第33章
“这样看来,律法是圣洁的,诫命也是圣洁、公义、良善的”(罗7:12)。{RC46.1}
彰显主基督-第33章
The law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Romans 7:12. {RC 46.1}
彰显主基督-第33章
许多宗教的教师主张:基督已经藉着祂的死将律法废去了,从此以后,世人就不必再受其条例的限制。也有一些人说,律法是一个难负的轭;他们一面强调律法的捆绑,一面提倡在福音之下所享受的自由。{RC46.2}
彰显主基督-第33章
Many religious teachers assert that Christ by His death abolished the law, and men are henceforth free from its requirements. There are some who represent it as a grievous yoke, and in contrast to the bondage of the law they present the liberty to be enjoyed under the gospel. {RC 46.2}
彰显主基督-第33章
但是众先知和使徒对于上帝圣律法的见解并非如此。大卫说:“我要自由而行,因我素来考究祢的训词”(诗119:45)。使徒雅各在基督死后写信时,提到十条诫命为“至尊的律法,”为“使人自由之律法”(见雅2:8;1:25)。写《启示录》的约翰在耶稣被钉的半世纪之后说:“那些洗净自己衣服(原文为“遵守诫命”)的有福了,可得权柄能到生命树那里,也能从门进城”(启22:14)。{RC46.3}
彰显主基督-第33章
But not so did prophets and apostles regard the holy law of God. Said David: “I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts” (Psalm 119:45). The apostle James, who wrote after the death of Christ, refers to the Decalogue as “the royal law” and “the perfect law of liberty” (James 2:8; 1:25). And the revelator, half a century after the crucifixion, pronounces a blessing upon them “that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city” (Revelation 22:14). {RC 46.3}
彰显主基督-第33章
有人主张基督藉着自己的死已经废除祂父的律法,这种说法是毫无根据的。假使律法真能改变或废弃的话,那么,基督就不必舍命来拯救人类脱离罪的刑罚了。基督的死非但没有废除律法,反而证明了律法是不变的。上帝的儿子来,是要“使律法为大,为尊”(赛42:21)。祂说:“莫想我来要废掉律法。”“就是到天地都废去了,律法的一点一画也不能废去”(太5:17-18)。祂论到自己说:“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)。{RC46.4}
彰显主基督-第33章
The claim that Christ by His death abolished His Father’s law is without foundation. Had it been possible for the law to be changed or set aside, then Christ need not have died to save man from the penalty of sin. The death of Christ, so far from abolishing the law, proves that it is immutable. The Son of God came to “magnify the law, and make it honourable” (Isaiah 42:21).... And concerning Himself He declares: “I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart” (Psalm 40:8). {RC 46.4}
彰显主基督-第33章
上帝律法的本质是不变的。这律法显明其创立者的旨意和品德。上帝就是爱,祂的律法也是爱。律法的两条大原则,就是爱上帝和爱人。“爱就完全了律法”(罗13:10)。上帝的品德是公义诚实。祂律法的性质也是如此。诗人说:“祢的律法尽都真实。”“祢一切的命令尽都公义”(诗119:142,172)。使徒保罗说:“律法是圣洁的,诫命也是圣洁,公义良善的”(罗7:12)。这样的律法既是上帝心意的表达,就必像创立律法的主一样是存到永远的。{RC46.5}
彰显主基督-第33章
The law of God, from its very nature, is unchangeable. It is a revelation of the will and the character of its Author. God is love, and His law is love. Its two great principles are love to God and love to man. “Love is the fulfilling of the law” (Romans 13:10). The character of God is righteousness and truth; such is the nature of His law. Says the psalmist: “Thy law is the truth”; “all thy commandments are righteousness” (Psalm 119:142, 172). And the apostle Paul declares: “The law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good” (Romans 7:12). Such a law, being an expression of the mind and will of God, must be as enduring as its Author. {RC 46.5}
彰显主基督-第33章
悔改成圣的工作乃是要使世人与上帝和好,使他们与律法的原则相符。起初,人是照着上帝的形象造的。他是与上帝的性质和律法完全协调的,有公义的原则写在他心上。但是人类因为犯了罪,就与创造主隔绝了。他就不再反照上帝的形象。……但“上帝爱世人,甚至将祂的独生子赐给他们,”使人类能与上帝和好。藉着基督的功劳,人就能重新与创造他的主和谐。(GC.466。467){RC46.6}
彰显主基督-第33章
It is the work of conversion and sanctification to reconcile men to God by bringing them into accord with the principles of His law. In the beginning, man was created in the image of God. He was in perfect harmony with the nature and the law of God; the principles of righteousness were written upon his heart. But sin alienated him from his Maker. He no longer reflected the divine image.... But “God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son,” that man might be reconciled to God. Through the merits of Christ he can be restored to harmony with his Maker.—The Great Controversy, 466, 467. {RC 46.6}
