得胜的基督-第72章
Give Nothing Less Than Loving Obedience to God, March 11
得胜的基督-第72章
“人若说我认识祂,却不遵守祂的诫命,便是说谎话的,真理也不在他心里了”(约壹2:4)。{CTr 77.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第72章
Whoever says, “I have come to know him,” but does not obey his commandments, is a liar, and in such a person the truth does not exist.1 John 2:4, NRSV.{CTr 77.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第72章
有人传说我提到若不遵守安息,就不能得救。第四条诫命的要求真的是毫无意义的吗?养成顺服我们天父旨意的习惯,难道不会引导顺从的人经常诚恳地询问:“我主的要求是什么?”“上帝对我的旨意是什么?”而不是“什么是愉快的?”和“什么对我自己或周围的人最方便最舒服?”{CTr 77.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第72章
I have been reported as saying you could not be saved unless you kept the Sabbath. Does it indeed seem meaningless, the requirement of the fourth commandment? Does not the habitual subjection to our heavenly Master’s will lead the obedient to ask constantly and earnestly, not “What is pleasing?” not “What is the most convenient or agreeable to self or those around us?” but “What does my Lord require? What is the will of God concerning me?”{CTr 77.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第72章
人在上帝之灵的感动下做这样那样的事,意识到若拒绝或疏忽这么做就会危害灵魂的得救,那又有什么奇怪的呢?我们顺从上帝的全部律法,是得永生所绝对必需的,这又有什么难以理解的呢?牺牲自我和自私的利益,争取灵魂的得救,对于基督徒来说,难道是不解之谜吗?难道圣经向我们保证说,不论遵守或违背上帝的律法,都可以进入天庭吗?如果是这样,上帝为得救的条件所提的全部要求就完全是错误的。{CTr 77.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第72章
Is it anything strange that one should do this or that under the conviction of the Spirit of God, under a sense of the fact that a refusal or neglect to do so would endanger the soul’s salvation? Is this a matter hard to comprehend, that obedience on our part to all God’s law is absolutely essential to eternal life? Is this an unfathomable mystery to the Christian—to secure the soul’s salvation at any cost to self or selfish interest? Does the Word of God give us any assurance that we can get to heaven just as well transgressing the law as obeying it? If so, the whole requirement of God as a condition of salvation is an entire mistake.{CTr 77.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第72章
古代世界的居民被洪水所毁灭,难道不是对他们违背上帝要求的惩罚吗?难道我们仁慈的上帝非常良善,不忍执行违犯祂律法的最后处罚,就用洪水把他们直接冲到荣耀里去吗?所多玛人不是因悖逆而受到惩罚,只有罗得得救吗?难道所多玛居民乘着天上降下的火焰直接飞入荣耀之中吗?{CTr 77.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第72章
Were the inhabitants of the old world who perished in the Flood punished for their disobedience of God’s requirements? Or were they washed by the waters of the deluge straight into glory because our merciful God is too good to execute the final penalty of transgressing His law? Were the Sodomites punished for their disobedience and only Lot saved? Or were the inhabitants of Sodom winged by the fire that fell from heaven straight into glory?{CTr 77.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第72章
上帝是否已经下令?既已下令,我们就要顺从──不有犹豫,和企图寻找不靠顺从而得救的其他途径;否则我们就会攀爬别的道路。天上的大君说:“我是道路、真理、生命。”“我遵守了我父的命令”。…… {CTr 77.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第72章
Has God commanded? Then we must obey—without hesitating and seeking to find some way to be saved without obedience; this would be climbing up some other way. “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” “I have kept my Father’s commandments,” says the Majesty of heaven....{CTr 77.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第72章
我们遵守诫命不应只为进入天国,而是为了让基督高兴,因为祂曾受死,拯救罪人脱离违犯天父律法的惩罚。罪人的得救有赖于……停止违法,顺从被干犯了的律法。任何人都不可滥用或曲解上帝的仁慈,以为可以随心所欲犯罪作恶。……尽可能远远地跟随基督,企图在毁灭的边缘行走而不失足,这乃是不幸的决定。(Letter 1877. 35b ){{CTr 77.6}[6]
得胜的基督-第72章
We should not obey the commandments merely to secure heaven, but to please Him who died to save sinners from the penalty of the transgression of the Father’s law. The sinner’s salvation depends upon ... ceasing to transgress and obedience to that transgressed law. No one should venture or presume upon the mercy of God, feeling at liberty to sin as much as they dare.... It is a sad resolve to follow Christ as far off as possible, venturing as near the verge of perdition as possible without falling in.—Letter 35b, 1877.{CTr 77.6}[6]
