奋斗与勇敢-第219章
(王下2:19-22)
“他出到水源,将盐倒在水中,说:耶和华如此说:我治好了这水,从此必不再使人死,也不再使地土不出产”(王下2:21)。{CC 224.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第219章
2 Kings 2:19-22[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第219章
以利沙把盐倒在苦泉中所教导的教训与数百年后救主向门徒说“你们是世上的盐”(太5:13)的教训是相同的。盐倒在污浊的水源中,水就纯洁了。这水从前使人摧残,死亡,如今却使人得生命和福惠了。上帝把祂的儿女比作盐,祂要教训他们:祂使他们作祂恩典之民的宗旨,是要他们成为拯救别人的媒介。……{CC 224.2}[2]

And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land. 2 Kings 2:21. {CC 224.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第219章
盐必须与所腌之物调和;必须侵入渗透,方可生效。照样,福音的拯救之能也必须藉着个人的接触和交往,才能普及世人。人不是一批一批,而是一个一个得救的。个人的影响乃是一种力量。它必须与基督的影响合作,……并遏制这罪恶世界腐败潮流的发展。……它必须藉着纯洁榜样的力量连同热忱恳切的信心与爱心,才能够使别人的生活、行为和品格得到提高,而趋于优美。……{CC 224.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第219章
In casting salt into the bitter spring, Elisha taught the same spiritual lesson imparted centuries later by the Saviour to His disciples when He declared, “Ye are the salt of the earth.” The salt mingling with the polluted spring purified its waters and brought life and blessing where before had been blighting and death. When God compares His children to salt, He would teach them that His purpose in making them the subjects of His grace is that they may become agents in saving others.... {CC 224.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第219章
污浊的河流代表那些与上帝隔绝的心灵。……因了罪的缘故,整个人的机能紊乱了,心智腐化了,思想败坏了;整个人的才能性情也都跟着堕落了。他缺少纯洁的宗教和内心的圣洁。上帝改变人心的能力未曾改变人的品格。……{CC 224.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第219章
Salt must be mingled with the substance to which it is added; it must penetrate, infuse it, that it may be preserved. So it is through personal contact and association that men are reached by the saving power of the gospel. They are not saved as masses, but as individuals. Personal influence is a power. It is to work with the influence of Christ, ... and to stay the progress of the world’s corruption.... It is to uplift, to sweeten the lives and characters of others by the power of a pure example united with earnest faith and love.... {CC 224.3}[4]

领受上帝圣言的心不像干涸的水潭。……它像一条长流不息的江河,越流越深越广,直到赐人生命的水流到全地。……上帝的真实儿女也必如此。基督的宗教本身显明为一个增添活力、弥漫渗透的原则,一种活泼、有效、属灵的力量。当人敞开心门接受天上真理和爱心的影响时,这些原则的力量就必像河水一样在沙漠涌流出来,使现在荒芜不毛之地结出果子。(PK231-234){CC 224.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第219章
The polluted stream represents the soul that is separate from God.... Through sin, the whole human organism is deranged, the mind is perverted, the imagination corrupted; the faculties of the soul are degraded. There is an absence of pure religion, of heart holiness. The converting power of God has not wrought in transforming the character.... {CC 224.4}[5]
