告青年书-第94章
Chapter 85—The Bible as an Educator
告青年书-第94章
圣经是无与伦比的导师,是人间最古老,最详尽的史书。它发源于永远真理的泉源。上帝的圣手在各世代中保守者它的纯洁。它是照亮人类的研究所无法追溯的远古。只有在上帝的话中我们才能看到那竖立大地的根基,铺张诸天的能力。只有在这里,我们才能看见列国起源的权威性记载。只有祂所记载的人类史没有被人的骄傲和偏见所沾染。{MYP 263.1}[1]
告青年书-第94章
As an educator, the Holy Scriptures are without a rival. The Bible is the most ancient and the most comprehensive history that men possess. It came fresh from the Fountain of eternal truth; and throughout the ages a divine hand has preserved its purity. It lights up the far-distant past, where human research seeks in vain to penetrate. In God’s Word only do we behold the power that laid the foundations of the earth, and that stretched out the heavens. Here only do we find an authentic account of the origin of nations. Here only is given a history of our race unsullied by human pride or prejudice.{MYP 263.1}[1]

【永生上帝的声音】
人可以从上帝的话中找到许多题旨,来操练最深思想和启发最高的希望。从这里,我们可以与先祖和先知相交,听见永生上帝向人说话的声音。从圣经中我们可以看见天上的君王如何屈身降卑,成为我们的替身和中保,与黑暗的势力孤军奋战,并为我们得了胜。应当恭敬地默想这些题目,因为圣经能溶化、洁净、提高人的心,并以新的力量与活力鼓舞心灵。{MYP 263.2}[2]
告青年书-第94章
【The Voice of the Eternal】
In the Word of God the mind finds subjects for the deepest thought, the loftiest aspirations. Here we may hold communion with patriarchs and prophets, and listen to the voice of the Eternal as He speaks with men. Here we behold the Majesty of heaven as He humbled Himself to become our substitute and surety, to cope single-handed with the powers of darkness, and to gain the victory in our behalf. A reverent contemplation of such themes as these cannot fail to soften, purify, and ennoble the heart, and at the same time to inspire the mind with new strength and vigor.{MYP 263.2}[2]
告青年书-第94章
那些以轻蔑和漠视的态度傲然对待上帝之要求的人,正在显出他们的愚昧和无知。正当他们自夸自由和独立时,他们却受着罪恶和撒但的捆绑。{MYP 263.3}[3]
告青年书-第94章
Those who regard it as brave and manly to treat the claims of God with indifference and contempt, are thereby betraying their own folly and ignorance. While they boast their freedom and independence, they are really in bondage to sin and Satan.{MYP 263.3}[3]
告青年书-第94章
【人生的真哲学】
人若清楚认识上帝及其对我们的要求,就必产生真实的谦卑。凡正确研究圣经的人,必认识到人类的智慧并不是万能的。他必看出,若没有那唯有上帝才能赐予的帮助,人的强壮和智慧都只能显出软弱无知。{MYP 264.1}[4]
告青年书-第94章
【True Philosophy of Life】
A clear conception of what God is, and what He requires us to be, will lead to wholesome humility. He who studies aright the sacred Word will learn that human intellect is not omnipotent. He will learn that without the help which none but God can give, human strength and wisdom are but weakness and ignorance.{MYP 264.1}[4]
告青年书-第94章
凡追随上帝引导的人,必找到救恩和真幸福的唯一真源头,并获得力量将快乐分给周围的人。没有人能离开宗教而享受快乐的人生。爱上帝的人必能洁净和提高人的每一个经验和愿望,加强人的爱情,并光照人每一个良好的愿望,使人能欣赏一切真、善、美的事物。{MYP 264.2}[5]
告青年书-第94章
He who is following the divine guidance has found the only true source of saving grace and real happiness, and has gained the power of imparting happiness to all around him. No man can really enjoy life without religion. Love to God purifies and ennobles every taste and desire, intensifies every affection, and brightens every worthy pleasure. It enables men to appreciate and enjoy all that is true, and good, and beautiful.{MYP 264.2}[5]
告青年书-第94章
但我们珍视圣经,还有一个高于一切的原因,就是它向人显示了上帝的旨意。我们可以从中学到我们为什么被造的,和实现这个目的方法。我们可以学到如何聪明地改善今生,如何承受永生。没有其他的书籍能解决人生的问题,满足心灵的愿望。藉着认识上帝的话,并加以留意,人就能超脱堕落的深渊,成为上帝的儿子,无罪天使的同伴。——《基督教育之研究》52-54页{MYP 264.3}[6]
告青年书-第94章
But that which above all other considerations should lead us to prize the Bible, is that in it is revealed to men the will of God. Here we learn the object of our creation, and the means by which that object may be attained. We learn how to improve wisely the present life, and how to secure the future life. No other book can satisfy the questionings of the mind or the cravings of the heart. By obtaining a knowledge of God’s Word and giving heed thereto, men may rise from the lowest depths of degradation to become the sons of God, the associates of sinless angels.—Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 52-54.{MYP 264.3}[6]
