彰显主基督-第364章
Our Glorious Destiny, December 29
彰显主基督-第364章
“上帝为爱祂的人所预备的,是眼睛未曾看见,耳朵未曾听见,人心也未曾想到的”(林前2:9)。{RC377.1}
彰显主基督-第364章
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9. {RC 377.1}
彰显主基督-第364章
撒但所败坏和奴役的人,都能藉着福音而得蒙救赎,并分享上帝儿女的光荣自由。上帝的旨意不但要拯救人脱离犯罪所必然造成的痛苦,还要拯救人脱离罪恶本身。那已经败坏和变态的心灵,要得到洁净和改变,披上“主我们上帝的荣美,”“效法祂儿子的模样”。“上帝为爱祂的人所预备的,是眼睛未曾看见,耳朵未曾听见,人心也未曾想到的”(诗90:17;罗8:29;林前2:9)。惟有永恒的岁月,才能显明人在恢复了上帝的形像之后所能得到的光荣命运。{RC377.2}
彰显主基督-第364章
Through the gospel, souls that are degraded and enslaved by Satan are to be redeemed to share the glorious liberty of the sons of God. God’s purpose is not merely to deliver from the suffering that is the inevitable result of sin, but to save from sin itself. The soul, corrupted and deformed, is to be purified, transformed, that it may be clothed in “the beauty of the Lord our God,” “conformed to the image of his Son.” “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him” (Psalm 90:17; Romans 8:29; 1 Corinthians 2:9). Eternity alone can reveal the glorious destiny to which man, restored to God’s image, may attain. {RC 377.2}
彰显主基督-第364章
为了实现这个崇高的理想,我们必须抛弃一切使心灵绊跌的事物。罪恶辖制我们,是通过我们的意志。剜目砍手代表意志的顺服。意志顺服上帝在我们看来,往往就像同意让自己终身残疾一样。但基督却说:只要能得到永生,我们不妨让自己遭受损伤和残疾。你所视为不幸的,乃是通往最高福惠的门户。{RC377.3}
彰显主基督-第364章
In order for us to reach this high ideal, that which causes the soul to stumble must be sacrificed. It is through the will that sin retains its hold upon us.... Often it seems to us that to surrender the will to God is to consent to go through life maimed or crippled. But it is better, says Christ, for self to be maimed, wounded, crippled, if thus you may enter into life. That which you look upon as disaster is the door to highest benefit. {RC 377.3}
彰显主基督-第364章
上帝是生命的源头。我们只有与祂相交,才能得到生命。如我们与上帝分离,或许能存在片时,但已经失去了生命。……惟有将我们的意志顺服上帝,祂才赐给我们生命。耶稣说:你们只有降伏于主,领受祂所赐的生命,才能胜过我所指出的这些隐藏的罪。你们虽然能将这些罪恶埋藏在心底,不让人看见,但你们将如何站立在上帝面前呢?……上帝对于罪恶乃是烈火,不论它在哪里出现。……{RC377.4}
彰显主基督-第364章
God is the fountain of life, and we can have life only as we are in communion with Him. Separated from God, existence may be ours for a little time, but we do not possess life.... Only through the surrender of our will to God is it possible for Him to impart life to us. Only by receiving His life through self-surrender is it possible, said Jesus, for these hidden sins ... to be overcome. It is possible that you may bury them in your hearts and conceal them from human eyes, but how will you stand in God’s presence? ... To sin, wherever found, God is a consuming fire.... {RC 377.4}
彰显主基督-第364章
献身于上帝,是要作出牺牲的。但这种牺牲是舍低就高,舍世俗而求属灵,舍灭亡而求永恒的。上帝并不想消灭我们的意志,因为只有藉着意志的运用,我们才能完成祂所要我们去作的事。我们的意志必须降服于祂,经过洁净和提炼之后重新收回,而与上帝的旨意完全和谐一致。这样,祂就能藉着我们倾下祂慈爱和能力的洪流。这样的顺服,对于顽固任性的人来说,不论有多么痛苦,仍是有益的。{RC377.5}
彰显主基督-第364章
It will require a sacrifice to give yourself to God; but it is a sacrifice of the lower for the higher, the earthly for the spiritual, the perishable for the eternal. God does not design that our will should be destroyed, for it is only through its exercise that we can accomplish what He would have us do. Our will is to be yielded to Him, that we may receive it again, purified and refined, and so linked in sympathy with the Divine that He can pour through us the tides of His love and power. However bitter and painful this surrender may appear to the willful, wayward heart, yet “it is profitable for thee.” {RC 377.5}

雅各在瘸了腿,无助地瘫倒在立约的天使怀中时,才体验到信心的胜利,并获得了与神角力而得胜的名字。(MB60-62){RC377.6}
彰显主基督-第364章
Not until he fell crippled and helpless upon the breast of the covenant angel did Jacob know the victory of conquering faith and receive the title of a prince with God.—Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, 60-62. {RC 377.6}
