崇高的恩召-第239章
“不可行恶人的路,不要走坏人的道”(箴4:14)。{OHC 244.1}[1]
崇高的恩召-第239章
Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.Proverbs 4:14.{OHC 244.1}[1]
崇高的恩召-第239章
很少有人认识到习惯的力量。圣经问:“古实人岂能改变皮肤呢?豹岂能改变斑点呢?”然后说:“若能,你们这习惯行恶的,便能行善了”(耶13:23)。这是一句严肃的论断。……恶习既有如此的威力,以致几乎让人无法回到正确的方向,但只要想到好习惯也有同样的力量,就能得到安慰和鼓励了。每天工作的结果,无论是提高我们道德价值的水准,还是促使我们的灭亡,都受到以往日子的影响。今天的失败为明天更大的失败预备了道路。今天的胜利,会保证明天更容易获得胜利。所以我们要非常谨慎地确保我们正在养成的习惯和品格是正确和良好的。……{OHC 244.2}[2]
崇高的恩召-第239章
Few realize the power of habit. Inspiration asks, “Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?” and adds, “then may ye also do good that are accustomed to do evil.”Jeremiah 13:23. This is a solemn assertion.... But there is comfort and courage in the reflection that if evil habits acquire such force that it seems almost impossible to turn in the right direction, the power of good habits is equally strong. The results of each day’s work, whether the tendency be to elevate us in the scale of moral worth or to push us downward toward perdition, are influenced by the days that have preceded it. Defeat today prepares the way for still greater defeat tomorrow; victory today ensures an easier victory tomorrow. Then how careful we should be to see that the habits and characters we are forming are correct and virtuous....{OHC 244.2}[2]
崇高的恩召-第239章
青年朋友们:要约束你们的脚步远离邪途。……人可以培养自己行义。他们可以像但以理那样心中抱着属天的宗旨,无论世风多么败落,也不污秽自己的心灵和身体。“上帝在各样文字学问上”赐给但以理“聪明知识”(但1:17)。祂的福惠伴随着努力遵行上帝旨意的人。这同样的帮助今日仍必赐给凡采取同样的方针,以上帝的荣耀为念,力行节制自约的人。他们与放荡的人之间,必表显出但以理及其同伴与宫庭中其他青年之间的区别。他们必眼目明亮、面色红润、步履稳健、智力活泼,对属灵的真理具有敏锐的辨识力。(ST.1885.1.1){OHC 244.3}[3]
崇高的恩召-第239章
Young friends, restrain your feet from all evil ways.... Men may discipline themselves to do right. Like Daniel they may have a Heaven-born purpose in their hearts that they will not defile soul or body, notwithstanding the degeneracy and corruption of the age. God gave Daniel “knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom.”Daniel 1:17. His blessing attended the man who put forth human effort in accordance with the divine will. The same help will still be given to all who pursue a similar course, and with the glory of God in view practice abstinence and self-restraint. The same difference will be seen between them and the self-indulgent that there was between Daniel and his fellows and the other youth in the king’s court. There will be the clear eye and complexion, the firm tread, the strength and vigor of intellect, the keen perception of spiritual truth.50{OHC 244.3}[3]

但愿我们记住:品格不是偶然建立的。或善或恶的品格是一天一天形成的。这项建立品格的工作非常重要,因为它的结果影响深远。我们是为今生和永恒而建造。(ST.1885.1.1){OHC 244.4}[4]
崇高的恩召-第239章
Let us remember that character is not the result of accident, but day by day it is forming for good or for evil. Great importance attaches to this work of character building; for it is far reaching in its results. We are builders for time and for eternity.51{OHC 244.4}[4]
