Perfection in the Human Sphere, August 7
主必快来-第220章
“所以你们要完全,象你们的天父完全一样”(太5:48)。
主必快来-第220章
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48. {Mar 227.1}
主必快来-第220章
我们的救主知道人的一切性情。祂对每一个人说:“所以你们要完全,象你们的天父完全一样”(太5:48)。上帝怎样在祂的范围里完全,人也要在自己的范围里完全。圣经里有充满希望的话论到接受基督的人:“凡接待祂的,就是信祂名的人,祂就赐给他们权柄,作上帝的儿女”(约1:12)。这些话要我们非得到最美好最高尚的品格不可。这种品格是按照上帝的品格塑造的。有了这样的品格,人的生活、信心和纯洁的信仰就成了教育别人的榜样。(MM. 112、113){Mar 227.1}
主必快来-第220章
Our Saviour understood all about human nature, and He says to every human being. “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” As God is perfect in His sphere, so man is to be perfect in his sphere. Those who receive Christ are among the number to whom the words so full of hope are spoken. “As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” These words declare to us that we should be content with nothing less than the best and highest character, a character formed after the divine similitude. When such a character is possessed, the life, the faith, the purity of the religion, is an instructive example to others.13 {Mar 227.2}
主必快来-第220章
然而那些自己不作切实努力战胜罪恶,却等着要看自己品格发生神奇变化的人,必要失望。我们仰望耶稣的时候,就没有理由惧怕,没有理由怀疑祂会不会将凡到祂面前来的人拯救到底。但是我们却应时常担心自己原有的习性会不会再次获得优势,致使仇敌设下某种网罗,把我们重新掳走。我们要恐惧战兢作成自己得救的工夫,因为你们立志行事,都是上帝在你们心里运行,为要成就祂的美意。我们应当凭着自己有限的能力,在我们的范围内圣洁,正如上帝在祂的范围内圣洁一样。我们应当尽力彰显上帝品格的真诚、仁爱和完美。蜡怎样接受印章的印记,我们的心灵也当照样接受上帝圣灵的感化,保留基督的形像。{Mar 227.2}
主必快来-第220章
But those who are waiting to behold a magical change in their characters without determined effort on their part to overcome sin, will be disappointed. We have no reason to fear while looking to Jesus, no reason to doubt but that He is able to save to the uttermost all that come unto Him; but we may constantly fear lest our old nature will again obtain the supremacy, that the enemy shall devise some snare whereby we shall again become his captives. We are to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God that worketh in you to will and to do of His good pleasure. With our limited powers we are to be as holy in our sphere as God is holy in His sphere. To the extent of our ability, we are to make manifest the truth and love and excellence of the divine character. As wax takes the impression of the seal, so the soul is to take the impression of the Spirit of God and retain the image of Christ. {Mar 227.3}
主必快来-第220章
我们应当天天在属灵的美德上长进。我们往往无力效法神圣的榜样。我们应当常常跪在耶稣脚前,为我们的过失和缺欠哭泣。但是我们不必灰心,而要更加恳切地祷告,更加充满信心,更加坚决,继续努力长成我们主的样式。我们既不信赖自己的力量,就当信靠我们救赎主的大能,将颂赞归于上帝,因为祂是我们面上的荣光,是我们的上帝。(1SM.336,337){Mar 227.3}
主必快来-第220章
We are to grow daily in spiritual loveliness. We shall fail often in our efforts to copy the divine pattern. We shall often have to bow down to weep at the feet of Jesus, because of our shortcomings and mistakes; but we are not to be discouraged; we are to pray more fervently, believe more fully, and try again with more steadfastness to grow into the likeness of our Lord. As we distrust our own power, we shall trust the power of our Redeemer, and render praise to God, who is the health of our countenance, and our God.14 {Mar 227.4}
