Chapter 11—The Character of the Conflict
告青年书-第14章
人的意志是富有进取精神的，不屈不挠地让一切事物都迎合自己的目的。意志如果站在正义和上帝一方，就会在生活中结出圣灵的果子。上帝已定意要将“荣耀、尊贵、平安，加给一切行善的人”（罗2:10）。{MYP 54.1}[1]
告青年书-第14章
The will of man is aggressive, and is constantly striving to bend all things to its purposes. If it is enlisted on the side of God and right, the fruits of the Spirit will appear in the life; and God has appointed, “glory, honor, and peace, to every man that worketh good.”{MYP 54.1}[1]
告青年书-第14章
如果让撒但来塑造人的意志，他就会利用它来达到他的目的。他散布不信的理论，怂恿人悖逆上帝的道，孜孜不倦地把他憎恨和仇视上帝的精神灌输于人，使他们合伙违抗上天的要求和制度，以及圣灵的运行。他把一切恶势力都纠集在他旗下，并亲自率领进入他们投入以恶制善的战场。{MYP 54.2}[2]
告青年书-第14章
When Satan is permitted to mold the will, he uses it to accomplish his ends. He instigates theories of unbelief, and stirs up the human heart to war against the word of God. With persistent, persevering effort, he seeks to inspire men with his own energies of hate and antagonism to God, and to array them in opposition to the institutions and requirements of heaven and the operations of the Holy Spirit. He enlists under his standard all evil agencies, and brings them into the battlefield under his generalship to oppose evil against good.{MYP 54.2}[2]
告青年书-第14章
【呼吁抵制邪恶的势力】
撒但的工作就是从人心中推翻上帝的权威，把人性塑造成为他自己丑陋的形象。他激起一切罪恶的倾向，唤醒种种不圣洁的情欲和野心。他宣布：这一切的权柄，尊荣，财富和罪中之乐我都可以给你，条件是你必须牺牲正义，出卖良心。他就是这样贬损人的良知，使他们沦为罪的囚奴。{MYP 54.3}[3]
告青年书-第14章
【Call to Oppose Powers of Evil】
It is Satan’s work to dethrone God from the heart, and to mold human nature into his own image of deformity. He stirs up all evil propensities, awakening unholy passions and ambitions. He declares, All this power, these honors, and riches and sinful pleasures will I give thee; but his conditions are that integrity shall be yielded, conscience blunted. Thus he degrades the human faculties, and brings them into captivity to sin.{MYP 54.3}[3]
告青年书-第14章
上帝呼吁人抵制邪恶是权势。祂说：“所以不要容罪在你们必死的身上作王，使你们顺从身子的私欲。也不要将你们的肢体献给罪作不义的器具；倒要象从死里复活的人，将自己献给上帝，并将肢体作义的器具献给上帝”（罗6：12，13）。{MYP 55.1}[4]
告青年书-第14章
God calls upon men to oppose the powers of evil. He says, “Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.”{MYP 55.1}[4]
告青年书-第14章
基督徒的人生乃是战斗的人生。“我们并不是与属血气的争战，乃是与那些执政的、掌权的、管辖这幽暗世界的，以及天空属灵的恶魔争战。”在这场义与不义的的斗争中，我们只有靠上帝的帮助，才能取得胜利。我们有限的意志必须顺服无穷上帝的旨意。人的意志必须融合在上帝的旨意中。这样，我们就能得到圣灵的帮助。我们每一次的胜利，都有助于收回上帝所赎的产业，在心中恢复上帝的形像。{MYP 55.2}[5]
告青年书-第14章
The Christian life is a warfare. But “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” In this conflict of righteousness against unrighteousness we can be successful only by divine aid. Our finite will must be brought into submission to the will of the Infinite; the human will must be blended with the divine. This will bring the Holy Spirit to our aid; and every conquest will tend to the recovery of God’s purchased possession, to the restoration of His image in the soul.{MYP 55.2}[5]
告青年书-第14章
【圣灵的帮助】
主耶稣藉着圣灵活动，因为圣灵是祂的代表。祂通过圣灵将属灵的生命输入人心，激发人行善的力量，洁净他品格上的污秽，使他有资格进入祂的国。耶稣有大量的福惠和丰盛的恩赐要分给人类。祂是奇妙的策士，有无穷的智慧和能力。我们如果愿意接受祂圣灵的能力，顺从祂的陶冶，就能在祂里面得了丰盛。这是何等奇妙啊！“上帝本性一切的丰盛，都有形有体的居住在基督里面。你们在祂里面也得了丰盛”（西2：9，10）。人心如果不顺服上帝圣灵的陶冶，就不能体验幸福。圣灵按照耶稣基督的形像塑造人更新了的心。经过圣灵的感化，对上帝的敌意变成了信心和爱心；骄傲变成了谦卑。人就会认识到真理的美，并以他完美的品格来尊荣基督。一旦发生了这种转变，众天使就会欢乐歌唱。上帝和基督也因人变成上帝的形象而高兴。……{MYP 55.3}[6]

【Aid of the Holy Spirit】
The Lord Jesus acts through the Holy Spirit; for it is His representative. Through it He infuses spiritual life into the soul, quickening its energies for good, cleansing it from moral defilement, and giving it a fitness for His kingdom. Jesus has large blessings to bestow, rich gifts to distribute among men. He is the wonderful Counselor, infinite in wisdom and strength; and if we will acknowledge the power of His Spirit, and submit to be molded by it, we shall stand complete in Him. What a thought is this! In Christ “dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him.” Never will?the human heart know happiness until it is submitted to be molded by the Spirit of God. The Spirit conforms the renewed soul to the model, Jesus Christ. Through the influence of the Spirit, enmity against God is changed into faith and love, and pride into humility. The soul perceives the beauty of truth, and Christ is honored in excellence and perfection of character. As these changes are effected, angels break out in rapturous song, and God and Christ rejoice over souls fashioned after the divine similitude....{MYP 55.3}[6]

【胜利的代价】
善恶之间的激战，现在并没有比救主的时代减弱。通天的道路也不比当年更加平坦。我们必须抛弃一切罪恶，除去妨碍我们属灵上进步的所有爱好。如果我们的右手或右眼叫我们跌倒，就要将它割舍。我们愿意放弃自己的智慧，像小孩子那样接受天国吗？我们愿意告别自以为义的心吗？我们愿意舍弃世人的称赞吗？永生的赏赐具有无限的价值。我们愿意接受圣灵的帮助，与祂合作，作出与我们的收获相称的努力和牺牲吗？——《评论与通讯》1903年2月10日{MYP 56.1}[7]

【The Price of Victory】
The warfare between good and evil has not grown less fierce than it was in the days of the Saviour. The path to heaven is no smoother now than it was then. All our sins must be put away. Every darling indulgence that hinders our spiritual progress must be cut off. The right eye or the right hand must be sacrificed, if it causes us to offend. Are we willing to renounce our own wisdom, and to receive the kingdom of heaven as a little child? Are we willing to part with our self-righteousness? Are we willing to sacrifice the approbation of men? The prize of eternal life is of infinite value. Are we willing to welcome the Holy Spirit’s aid, and co-operate with it, putting forth efforts and making sacrifices proportionate to the value of the object to be obtained?—The Review and Herald, February 10, 1903.{MYP 56.1}[7]
