主必快来-第63章
“我实实在在地告诉你:人若不是从水和圣灵生的,就不能进上帝的国。……你必须重生”(约3:5-7)。
主必快来-第63章
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.... You must be born anew. John 3:5-7, R.S.V. {Mar 70.1}
主必快来-第63章
人想靠自己的功德遵守律法,乃是在尝试一件不可能的事。单单具有守律法的宗教和敬虔的外貌,是不可靠的。基督徒的人生,不是旧生活的修整或改良,乃是本性的变化。对于自我和罪,必须置之死地,随之而来的乃是全新的生活。这种变化惟有藉着圣灵的运行,才能成功。……{Mar 70.1}
主必快来-第63章
He who is trying to reach heaven by his own works in keeping the law is attempting an impossibility. There is no safety for one who has merely a legal religion, a form of godliness. The Christian’s life is not a modification or improvement of the old, but a transformation of nature. There is a death to self and sin, and a new life altogether. This change can be brought about only by the effectual working of the Holy Spirit.... {Mar 70.2}

一个人或许不能说出悔改的一定时间或地点,或许不能追溯悔改过程的一切情况,但这并不证明他没有悔改。藉着一种像风那样看不见的能力,基督是时刻不停地在人心中作工。受到感化的人,也许完全不觉得,而这种能力却渐渐地潜移默化,引人归向基督。……随后,圣灵来作更直接的呼唤,人心便突然欢乐地归顺耶稣了。许多人说这是突然的悔改,殊不知这是上帝的灵长久默化人心的结果,── 一种长期忍耐的过程。{Mar 70.2}
主必快来-第63章
A person may not be able to tell the exact time or place, or to trace all the circumstances in the process of conversion; but this does not prove him to be unconverted. By an agency as unseen as the wind, Christ is constantly working upon the heart. Little by little, perhaps unconsciously to the receiver, impressions are made that tend to draw the soul to Christ.... Suddenly, as the Spirit comes with more direct appeal, the soul gladly surrenders itself to Jesus. By many this is called sudden conversion; but it is the result of long wooing by the Spirit of God,—a patient, protracted process. {Mar 70.3}

风的本身虽不能见,但其所生的效果,却是看得见觉得到的。照样,圣灵在人心中作工,人一感受其拯救的功能,就必在他的一切行为上表现出来。上帝的灵住在人的心里,就必改变人的整个生活。罪恶的思想丢开了,不良的行为抛弃了,仁爱、谦让、和平,代替了愤怒、嫉妒、分争,忧愁变成喜乐。人的脸上,反射出天上的光辉。没有人看到上帝为人卸下重担的手,也没有人见到从天庭降下的光芒。当人因着信投靠上帝之时,神恩天福就临到他了。于是肉眼所看不见的能力,就按看上帝的形像造了一个新人。{Mar 70.3}
主必快来-第63章
While the wind is itself invisible, it produces effects that are seen and felt. So the work of the Spirit upon the soul will reveal itself in every act of him who has felt its saving power. When the Spirit of God takes possession of the heart, it transforms the life. Sinful thoughts are put away, evil deeds are renounced; love, humility, and peace take the place of anger, envy, and strife. Joy takes the place of sadness, and the countenance reflects the light of heaven. No one sees the hand that lifts the burden, or beholds the light descend from the courts above. The blessing comes when by faith the soul surrenders itself to God. Then that power which no human eye can see creates a new being in the image of God. {Mar 70.4}

人类有限的智力,无从领会救赎的大工。这种奥秘超出人的智能,然而一个出死人生的人,却能体会到这是神圣的事实。救赎之工的开始,我们能从今生的个人经验中得知,而救赎之工的结果,却是要存到永世世无穷。(DA 172,173){Mar 70.4}
主必快来-第63章
It is impossible for finite minds to comprehend the work of redemption. Its mystery exceeds human knowledge; yet he who passes from death to life realizes that it is a divine reality. The beginning of redemption we may know here through a personal experience. Its results reach through the eternal ages.5 {Mar 70.5}
