What We Must Do to Be Ready When Christ Returns
Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.Galatians 4:7.{SD 344.1}[1]
上帝的儿女-第339章
加拉太人迷信偶像,但在使徒向他们传道之后,他们就因那能解救他们脱离罪恶捆绑的信息而欢喜。保罗和他的同伴宣讲了因信基督赎罪之牺牲而称义的道理。他们高举基督为救主,说明祂如何因看到堕落之人类的可怜情形而降世为人,来度一种完全顺从上帝律法的生活,并承当违背律法的刑罚,藉以救赎人类。于是在十字架的光辉照耀之下,许多从来不认识真神上帝的人,才对天父的慈爱有了一点认识。这样,加拉太人得以明白那有关「天父上帝」的基本真理,以及「我们的主耶稣基督」如何「照我们父上帝的旨意为我们的罪舍己,要救我们脱离这罪恶的世代」。他们「因听信福音」而领受了上帝的灵,并「因信基督耶稣」而成了「上帝的儿子」(加1:3-4;3:2,26)。{SD344.2}[2]
上帝的儿女-第339章
The Galatians were given up to the worship of idols, but as the apostles preached to them, they rejoiced in the message that promised freedom from the thraldom of sin. Paul and his fellow-workers proclaimed the doctrine of righteousness by faith in the atoning sacrifice of Christ. They presented Christ as the One who, seeing the helpless condition of the fallen race, came to redeem men and women by living a life of obedience to God’s law, and by paying the penalty of disobedience. And in the light of the cross, many who had never before known of the true God, began to comprehend the greatness of the Father’s love. Thus the Galatians were taught the fundamental truths concerning “God the Father,” and “our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father.” “By the hearing of faith,” they received the Spirit of God, and became “the children of God by faith in Christ.”{SD 344.2}[2]

保罗在加拉太人中的生活是那么端正,甚至他后来敢说:「弟兄们!我劝你们要像我一样」。他的嘴唇已经被「坛上的红炭」所沾过了,所以他能超脱肉体的软弱,并高举耶稣为罪人唯一的希望。凡听见他的人,都认明他是跟过耶稣的。他赋有从上头来的能力,能将「属灵的话解释属灵的事」,并能攻破撒但的堡垒。他这样说明上帝因牺牲祂的独生子而显示的大爱,就使许多人的心地融化,并询问说:「我当怎样行才可以得救」?……十字架能使我们亲近上帝,与祂和好。耶和华以父亲的慈爱垂看祂儿子为拯救人类脱离永死而受的痛苦,因此就在爱子里悦纳我们了。{SD344.3}[3]
上帝的儿女-第339章
Paul’s manner of life while among the Galatians was such that he could afterward say, “I beseech you, be as I am.” His lips had been touched with a live coal from off the altar, and he was enabled to rise above bodily infirmities, and to present Jesus as the sinner’s only hope. Those who heard him knew that he had been with Jesus. Endued with power from on high, he was able to compare spiritual things with spiritual, and to tear down the strongholds of Satan. Hearts were broken by this presentation of the love of God, as revealed in the sacrifice of His only begotten Son, and many were led to inquire, What must I do to be saved? ... The cross brings us near to God, reconciling us to Him. With the relenting compassion of a father’s love, Jehovah looks upon the suffering that His Son endured in order to save the race from eternal death, and accepts us in the Beloved.5{SD 344.3}[3]
