三月五日称义的人行在光中

Justified Souls Walk in the Light, March 5

“上帝设立耶稣作挽回祭，是凭着耶稣的血，藉着人的信，……好在今时显明祂的义，使人知道祂自己为义，也称信耶稣的人为义”（罗3:25,26）。{RC78.1}

God presented him [Christ Jesus] as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.... He did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies the man who has faith in Jesus. Romans 3:25, 26, N.I.V. {RC 78.1}

使徒保罗说：“如今却蒙上帝的恩典，因基督耶稣的救赎，就白白的称义。上帝设立耶稣作挽回祭，是凭着耶稣的血，藉着人的信，要显明上帝的义。因为祂用忍耐的心宽容人先时所犯的罪，好在今时显明他的义，使人知道祂自己为义，也称信耶稣的人为义”（罗3：24-26）。{RC78.2}

“Being justified freely by his grace,” the apostle Paul says, “through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.” {RC 78.2}

这里把真理清楚地阐明了。这种慈怜是我们原来完全不配得到的，基督的恩典就是白白地称没有功德可言的罪人为义。称义就是完全的赦罪。罪人何时凭着信心接受了基督，何时就得蒙赦免了。有基督的公义赐给他，他就不再怀疑上帝赦罪的恩典了。{RC78.3}

Here the truth is laid out in plain lines. This mercy and goodness is wholly undeserved. The grace of Christ is freely to justify the sinner without merit or claim on his part. Justification is a full, complete pardon of sin. The moment a sinner accepts Christ by faith, that moment he is pardoned. The righteousness of Christ is imputed to him, and he is no more to doubt God’s forgiving grace. {RC 78.3}

信心本身不是我们救主，信心不能除去我们的罪。唯基督是上帝的大能，要救一切相信的。称义来自耶稣的功劳。祂已为罪人偿付了赎价。然而只有藉着信靠耶稣的宝血，祂才能称信的人为义。{RC78.4}

There is nothing in faith that makes it our saviour. Faith cannot remove our guilt. Christ is the power of God unto salvation to all them that believe. The justification comes through the merits of Jesus Christ. He has paid the price for the sinner’s redemption. Yet it is only through faith in His blood that Jesus can justify the believer. {RC 78.4}

罪人不可以依靠自己的善行作为称义的途径。他必须放弃自己一切的罪，一点一点地接受照在他道路上的光。他只要凭着信心领受基督的宝血所白白提供的丰富恩惠。他要相信上帝的应许，藉着基督在他身上实现得救，称义，和成圣。{RC78.5}

The sinner cannot depend upon his own good works as a means of justification. He must come to the point where he will renounce all his sin, and embrace one degree of light after another, as it shines upon his pathway. He simply grasps by faith the free and ample provision made in the blood of Christ. He believes the promises of God which through Christ are made unto him sanctification and righteousness and redemption. {RC 78.5}

如果他跟随耶稣，就会谦卑地行在光中，在光中欢欣，并把光传给别人。他既因信称义，就必高高兴兴地在整个生活中表显出顺从来。与上帝和好乃是基督在他身上的成果，凡顺从上帝，尊重祂，遵行祂旨意的人必要得蒙上帝的光照。在上帝宝贵的话语中有着美丽，纯洁和高尚的特质，若没有上帝的帮助，人类最高的才智也是无法达到的。……{RC78.6}

And if he follows Jesus, he will walk humbly in the light, rejoicing in the light, and diffusing that light to others. Being justified by faith, he carries cheerfulness with him in his obedience in all his life. Peace with God is the result of what Christ is to him. The souls who are in subordination to God, who honor Him, and are doers of His Word, will receive divine enlightenment. In the precious Word of God, there is purity and loftiness as well as beauty that, unless assisted by God, the highest powers of man cannot attain to.... {RC 78.6}

无论遇见怎样的试验，若放松对上帝的信赖，我们任何人都是无可推诿的。虽然世人的同情靠不住，但上帝还是爱人、怜悯人，并伸出祂救助的圣手。上帝永远的膀臂怀抱向祂求助的生灵。……上帝喜欢祂的儿女向祂祈求，信赖祂为他们成就他们自己无力成就的事。（ST.1898.5.19）{RC78.7}

We are none of us excusable, under any form of trial, for letting our hold upon God become loosened. Although the compassion of man may fail, still God loves and pities, and reaches out His helping hand. God’s everlasting arms encircle the soul that turns to Him for aid.... God loves to have His children ask Him, and trust Him to do for them those things which they cannot do for themselves.—The Signs of the Times, May 19, 1898. {RC 78.7}
