  Result of Disregarding Light

健康勉言-第55章

  巴特尔克里克许多人家患病，如果他们顺从了上帝所赐的亮光，原本不必患病。他们象古代的以色列人一样忽视了亮光，看不出自己象古代以色列人一样需要约束食欲。古代以色列人要求肉食，并且说出那样的话来，象现今许多人所说的一样：我们若没有肉吃，就要死啦！上帝让叛乱的以色列人吃肉，但祂的咒诅也随之而来。他们所要求的肉食还在牙齿之间时，就有数千人死亡了。我们从古代以色列人的身上得了鉴戒，警告我们不要效法他们所行的。……我们怎能这样漠不关心地过日子，偏行己路，随从自己的眼光，离上帝越来越远，象希伯来人所行的呢？上帝不能为其子民施行大事，是因为他们心肠刚硬，有罪不信。{CH141.1}[1]

健康勉言-第55章

  The sickness that has visited many families in ----- need not have been, if they had followed the light God has given them. Like ancient Israel, they have disregarded the light and could see no more necessity of restricting their appetite than did ancient Israel. The children of Israel would have flesh meats, and said, as many now say, We shall die without meat. God gave rebellious Israel flesh, but His curse was with it. Thousands of them died while the meat they desired was between their teeth. We have the example of ancient Israel, and the warning for us not to do as they did.... How can we pass on so indifferently, choosing our own course, following the sight of our own eyes, and departing farther and farther from God, as did the Hebrews? God cannot do great things for His people because of their hardness of heart and sinful unbelief.{CH 141.1}[1]

健康勉言-第55章

  上帝是不偏待人的；在每一世代中，凡敬畏主且行公义的人，都蒙祂悦纳；而那些埋怨，不信，反叛的人，既不会蒙祂眷爱，也不会得到祂应许给那些爱慕并实行真理之人的福气。凡得到亮光却不顺从，反而忽视上帝的要求的人，必发现他们的福气要变成咒诅，他们的怜悯要变成刑罚。古代的以色列人，原是上帝所特选的子民，但他们因偏行己路而自招灭亡，上帝深愿我们在读到他们的历史时，学习谦卑与顺从。——《教会证言》卷三第171,172页(1872年).{CH141.2}[2]

健康勉言-第55章

  God is no respecter of persons, but in every generation they that fear the Lord and work righteousness are accepted of Him, while those who are murmuring, unbelieving, and rebellious will not have His favor nor the blessings promised to those who love the truth and walk in it. Those who have the light and do not follow it, but disregard the requirements of God, will find that their blessings will be changed into curses and their mercies into judgments. God would have us learn humility and obedience as we read the history of ancient Israel, who were His chosen and peculiar people, but who brought their own destruction by following their own ways.—Testimonies for the Church 3:171, 172 (1872).{CH 141.2}[2]
