教会证言-卷五-第64章
Chap. 63—“Your Reasonable Service”
教会证言-卷五-第64章
“将身体献上,当作活祭,是圣洁的,是上帝所喜悦的,你们如此事奉,乃是理所当然的”(罗12:1)。{5T541.3}[1]
教会证言-卷五-第64章
“Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”{5T 541.3}[1]
教会证言-卷五-第64章
在古代以色列人中,每份带来献祭的供物,都要经过祭司严格的检查。若发现了什么毛病,那祭物就被拒绝;因为主已命令过,一切的供物都应当是“无瑕疵”的。我们将自己的身体当作活祭献给上帝,岂不应该使这祭物尽可能地完全么?凡是有关于我们肉体,精神,及道德上所需要的每一种教训,上帝都已经指示我们了;我们每个人的本分,就是应使自己的生活习惯在各方面与神圣的标准相符。我们若没有尽自己所能地作最好的奉献,主岂会喜欢呢?“你要尽心,尽性,尽意,爱主你的上帝”(太22:37;可12:30;路10:27)。你若真的尽心爱主,就必切望向祂奉献你一生最好的事奉,并尽力使自己的每种能力与那促进你的才能去奉行祂旨意的定律相和合。{5T541.4}[2]
教会证言-卷五-第64章
In the time of ancient Israel the priests critically examined every offering that was brought as a sacrifice. If any defect was discovered, the animal was refused; for the Lord had commanded that the offering should be “without blemish.” We?are to present our bodies a living sacrifice to God, and should we not seek to make the offering as perfect as possible? God has given us every instruction necessary for our physical, mental, and moral well-being; and it is the duty of every one of us to bring our habits of life into conformity with the divine standard in every particular. Will the Lord be pleased with anything less than the best we can offer? “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart.” If you do love Him with all your heart you will desire to give Him the best service of your life, and you will seek to bring every power of your being into harmony with the laws that will promote your ability to do His will.{5T 541.4}[2]
教会证言-卷五-第64章
所赐给我们身体上的各部分官能,乃是使我们能向我们的创造主献上可蒙悦纳的服务。当我们在罪恶之中,谬用上帝的恩赐,把自己的能力出卖给黑暗之君时,基督甚至用自己的宝血为我们付了赎价。“祂替众人死,是叫那些活着的人,不再为自己活,乃为替他们死而复活的主活”(林后5:15)。你们不可效法世界的风俗。“不要效法这个世界,只要心意更新而变化”(罗12:2)。{5T542.1}[3]
教会证言-卷五-第64章
Every faculty of our being was given us that we might render acceptable service to our Maker. When, through sin, we perverted the gifts of God and sold our powers to the prince of darkness, Christ paid a ransom for us, even His own precious blood. “He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them.” You are not to follow the customs of the world. “Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.”{5T 542.1}[3]
