“人就是赚得全世界,赔上自己的生命,有什么益处呢?人还能拿什么换生命呢”(可8:36,37)?{UL 45.1}[1]
举目向上看-第32章
What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul??Mark 8:36, 37.{UL 45.1}[1]

救赎的目的不但要涂抹罪恶,而且要在人身上恢复因罪的摧残而丧失的属灵品质。金钱不能带进来生,在那里也不需要金钱。但那救人归向基督的善行却带到天庭里去。那是对上帝所托付财富的忠实投资。可是那些自私地浪费主的恩赐,不帮助贫苦的同胞,也不努力在地上推进上帝圣工的人,乃是羞辱了他们的创造主。在在天上的册子中,他们的名下要写着:“夺取上帝之物。”{UL 45.2}[2]

It is the purpose of redemption, not only to blot out sin, but to give back to man those spiritual gifts lost because of sin’s dwarfing power. Money cannot be carried into the next life; it is not needed there. But the good deeds done to win souls to Christ, the faithful investment of God’s entrusted treasure, these are carried to the heavenly courts. Those who selfishly spend the Lord’s goods on themselves, leaving their needy fellow creatures without aid, who do not advance God’s work in our world, dishonor their Maker. Robbery of God is written opposite their names.{UL 45.2}[2]

贫穷并不是罪,除非卤莽的人自致贫穷。即便如此,他们若悔改就必蒙赦免。……凡相信基督为个人救主的人,虽然在世上处于卑微的地位,却是上帝的后嗣,与基督同作后嗣,承受永恒的基业。他们持有永生的保险单。{UL 45.3}[3]

Poverty is not a sin unless by recklessness men bring poverty upon themselves. And even then, if they repent, they will be pardoned.... Those who have faith in Christ as a personal Saviour, even though they may occupy a humble place in the world, are heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ to an immortal inheritance. They have an insurance policy to eternal life.{UL 45.3}[3]

使徒彼得列举了实施加法计划、不断增加基督化美德之人的权利之后,宣布上帝会实施乘法的计划:“愿恩惠、平安因你们认识上帝和我们主耶稣,多多地加给你们。”上帝的神能已将一切关乎生命和虔敬的事赐给我们,皆因我们认识那用自己荣耀和美德召我们的主。因此,祂已将又宝贵、又极大的应许赐给我们,叫我们既脱离世上从情欲来的败坏,就得与上帝的性情有份。……所以弟兄们,应当更加殷勤,使你们所蒙的恩召和拣选坚定不移,你们若行这几样,就永不失脚。这样,必叫你们丰丰富富地得以进入我们主救主耶稣基督永远的国”(彼后1:2-11)。这是我们的永生保险单。我们难道不实行上帝的计划获取它吗?{UL 45.4}[4]

After enumerating the privileges of those who work on the plan of addition, constantly adding Christian attributes to the character, the apostle Peter declares that God will work on the plan of multiplication: “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.... Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:2-11). Here is our life insurance policy. Shall we not work on God’s plan to secure it?{UL 45.4}[4]

上帝始终非常珍视世人。世界的创造主满有恩惠,越来越亲近各国中接受耶稣为个人救主的人。……{UL 45.5}[5]

Man is ever dear to the heart of God. The Creator of the world comes graciously near and still nearer to all those in every nation who receive Jesus as a personal Saviour....{UL 45.5}[5]

世人所重视的东西,在上帝看来却是可憎的。基督问道:“人就是赚得全世界,赔上自己的生命,有什么益处呢?人还能拿什么换生命呢”(可8:36,37)?(《文稿》1899年6号,1月31日,“可怜的财主”){UL 45.6}[6]

That which is highly esteemed among men is abhorrent in the sight of God. Christ asks, “What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (Mark 8:36, 37).—Manuscript 6, January 31, 1899, “The Poor Rich Man.”{UL 45.6}[6]
