We Need Not Despair, December 28
奋斗与勇敢-第363章
“因为,义人虽七次跌倒,仍必兴起,恶人却被祸患倾倒”(箴言24:16)。{CC 368.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第363章
For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. Proverbs 24:16. {CC 368.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第363章
灵感之笔忠于职责,告诉我们挪亚,罗得,摩西,亚伯拉罕,大卫和所罗门等人所犯的罪,甚至以利亚在可怕的试炼下,因试探而意志消沉。约拿的违命和以色列人的偶像崇拜,都忠实地记录下来。彼得的否认基督,保罗与巴拿巴的尖锐争执,先知与使徒们的软弱和失败,都……揭露了。这些信徒的生活,连同他们的过错和愚妄都摆在我们面前,为了给他们后世历代的人一个教训。如果他们没有缺点的话,他们就成了超人了。而我们有罪的本性就没有希望达到如此优越的地步了。但当我们看到他们的挣扎和跌倒,又怎样重新壮胆,并靠着上帝的恩典而得了胜,我们就得到了鼓舞,去排除我们堕落的本性堆在我们道路上的障碍。{CC 368.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第363章
The pen of inspiration, true to its task, tells us of the sins that overcame Noah, Lot, Moses, Abraham, David, and Solomon, and that even Elijah’s strong spirit sank under temptation during his fearful trial. Jonah’s disobedience and Israel’s idolatry are faithfully recorded. Peter’s denial of Christ, the sharp contention of Paul and Barnabas, the failings and infirmities of the prophets and apostles, are all laid bare.... There before us lie the lives of the believers, with all their faults and follies, which are intended as a lesson to all the generations following them. If they had been without foible they would have been more than human, and our sinful natures would despair of ever reaching such a point of excellence. But seeing where they struggled and fell, where they took heart again and conquered through the grace of God, we are encouraged, and led to press over the obstacles that degenerate nature places in our way. {CC 368.2}[2]

上帝决不姑息罪恶。祂派先知去警告罪人,斥责他们的罪,并宣布他们的惩罚。……{CC 368.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第363章
God has ever been faithful to punish crime. He sent His prophets to warn the guilty, denounce their sins, and pronounce judgment upon them.... {CC 368.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第363章
圣经给我们的教训,正是我们所需要的。它既揭露罪恶,又记录罪的报应。犯罪后的悲伤和忏悔,患罪病之心的哭泣,从古时传给我们,让我们知道当时的人和现在一样,需要上帝赦罪之恩。……{CC 368.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第363章
We need just such lessons as the Bible gives us, for with the revelation of sin is recorded the retribution which follows. The sorrow and penitence of the guilty, and the wailing of the sin-sick soul, come to us from the past, telling us that man was then, as now, in need of the pardoning mercy of God.... {CC 368.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第363章
圣经的历史也提到人盼望上帝恩典时伤心的状况。当我们看到别人在与我们一样的逆境中怎样挣扎,怎样在试探之下象我们一样跌倒,而又怎样重新壮胆,蒙了上帝的赐福时,我们就无需绝望了。灵感的话语安慰和鼓舞犯错的人。虽然先祖和使徒具有人性的软弱,但他们凭着信心作了美好的见证,靠着主的力量投身战斗,获得光荣的胜利。我们也可以这样信靠主赎罪牺牲的功劳,奉耶稣的名作得胜的人。(4T.12-15){CC 368.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第363章
Bible history stays the fainting heart with the hope of God’s mercy. We need not despair when we see that others have struggled through discouragements like our own, have fallen into temptations even as we have done, and yet have recovered their ground and been blessed of God. The words of inspiration comfort and cheer the erring soul. Although the patriarchs and apostles were subject to human frailties, yet through faith they obtained a good report, fought their battles in the strength of the Lord, and conquered gloriously. Thus may we trust in the virtue of the atoning sacrifice and be overcomers in the name of Jesus.47 {CC 368.5}[5]
