奋斗与勇敢-第116章
(书7:)
“遮掩自己罪过的,必不亨通;承认离弃罪过的,必蒙怜恤”(箴28:13)。{CC 121.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第116章
Joshua 7[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第116章
亚干固然承认了他的罪,但已经太晚了。他的认罪对他再没有什么帮助。他曾看见以色列的军队打了败仗,灰心丧胆地从艾城回来;然而他没有前来承认他的罪。他曾看见约书亚和以色列的长老俯伏在地,忧不胜言。那时他若能认罪,他就能显出真悔改的凭据;可是他仍然保持缄默。他曾听见约书亚宣布有人犯了大罪,并听见他明确地说出那罪的性质。但他依然闭口无言。于是那严肃的调查工作开始了。当他看到指出他的支派,他的宗族,和他的家室时,他的心中是何等地惶恐震惊啊!可是,他仍没有认罪,直等到上帝的手指出他本人来。于是到了无法再行隐瞒的时候,他才承认了事实。今日岂不是常有人也这样认罪吗?人若等到事实都证明了之后才肯认罪,与只有他自己和上帝知道的时候即行认罪。这二者之间的分别是很大的。亚干若不是希望藉认罪来避免他犯罪的结果,他还是不会认罪的。但他的认罪只足以显明他所受的刑罚是公义的。他并没有真正悔改他的罪,没有痛悔前非,没有改变心志,也没有憎恨罪恶。{CC 121.2}[2]

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. Proverbs 28:13. {CC 121.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第116章
将来在每人的生死案件已经决定之后,当犯罪的人站在上帝的审判台前时,他们也必这样认罪。……将来天上的案卷展开的时候,审判世人的主不必用言语宣布人的罪状,只要用祂洞察人心和令人折服的眼光一看,行恶之人的每一件行为,和人生的每一样事情,就必生动地活现在他的记忆之中了。那人也不必象在约书亚的日子一样,从支派到家室,一步一步地被搜索出来,因为他自己的口必承认他的羞耻。于是那一直隐瞒着的罪必要向全世界公开出来。(PP497,498){CC 121.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第116章
Achan acknowledged his guilt, but when it was too late for the confession to benefit himself. He had seen the armies of Israel return from Ai defeated and disheartened; yet he did not come forward and confess his sin. He had seen Joshua and the elders of Israel bowed to the earth in grief too great for words. Had he then made confession, he would have given some proof of true penitence; but he still kept silence. He had listened to the proclamation that a great crime had been committed, and had even heard its character definitely stated. But his lips were sealed. Then came the solemn investigation. How his soul thrilled with terror as he saw his tribe pointed out, then his family and his household! But still he uttered no confession, until the finger of God was placed upon him. Then, when his sin could no longer be concealed, he admitted the truth. How often are similar confessions made. There is a vast difference between admitting facts after they have been proved and confessing sins known only to ourselves and to God. Achan would not have confessed had he not hoped by so doing to avert the consequences of his crime. But his confession only served to show that his punishment was just. There was no genuine repentance for sin, no contrition, no change of purpose, no abhorrence of evil. {CC 121.2}[3]

如果你有当认的罪,就不要拖延,因为这是你的黄金时刻。“我们若认自己的罪,上帝是信实的,是公义的,必要赦免我们的罪,洗净我们一切的不义”(约壹1:9)。(1SM352){CC 121.1}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第116章
So confessions will be made by the guilty when they stand before the bar of God, after every case has been decided for life or death.... When the records of heaven shall be opened, the Judge will not in words declare to man his guilt, but will cast one penetrating, convicting glance, and every deed, every transaction of life, will be vividly impressed upon the memory of the wrongdoer. The person will not ... need to be hunted out ... but his own lips will confess his shame. The sins hidden from the knowledge of men will then be proclaimed to the whole world.38 {CC 121.3}[4]
