A Person’s True Worth, August 16
高举主耶稣-第229章
“惟有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死,上帝的爱就在此向我们显明了。现在我们既靠着祂的血称义,就更要藉着祂免去上帝的忿怒”(罗5:8,9)。{LHU242.1}
高举主耶稣-第229章
God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we are now justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. Romans 5:8, 9, RSV. {LHU 242.1}
高举主耶稣-第229章
基督和祂钉十字架应当成为我们思想的主题,并且激起我们心中最深的情怀。真正跟从基督的人会对祂为他们施行的伟大救恩心存感激;无论祂把路带到哪里,他们都会跟随。他们会认为背基督放在他们身上的任何担子都是一个特权。唯有藉着十字架,我们才能估计人类灵魂的价值。人的价值乃是这样,基督为他们而死,使天父对祂为人类得救而付上的无限代价感到满意,为了救赎他们,祂被迫放弃了自己的儿子。这里显示的是何等丰盛的智慧、怜悯和爱心啊!惟有走到髑髅地,才能知道人的价值。在基督十字架的奥秘之中,我们才可以估计一下人的价值。{LHU242.2}
高举主耶稣-第229章
Christ and Him crucified should become the theme of our thoughts and stir the deepest emotions of our souls. The true followers of Christ will appreciate the great salvation which He has wrought for them; and wherever He leads the way, they will follow. They will consider it a privilege to bear whatever burdens Christ may lay upon them. It is through the cross alone that we can estimate the worth of the human soul. Such is the value of men for whom Christ died that the Father is satisfied with the infinite price which He pays for the salvation of man in yielding up His own Son to die for their redemption. What wisdom, mercy, and love in its fullness are here manifested! The worth of man is known only by going to Calvary. In the mystery of the cross of Christ we can place an estimate upon man. {LHU 242.2}
高举主耶稣-第229章
与世界的救赎主联合拯救人类,这是责任何等重大的职位啊!这个工作要求舍己、牺牲和仁慈,还要求坚忍,勇气和信心。……执意得胜的信心是不可少的。(2T.634,635).{LHU242.3}
高举主耶稣-第229章
What a responsible position, to unite with the Redeemer of the world in the salvation of men! This work calls for self-denial, sacrifice, and benevolence, for perseverance, courage, and faith.... Persistent, prevailing faith is necessary (Testimonies for the Church 2:634, 635). {LHU 242.3}
高举主耶稣-第229章
舍己和十字架直接摆在每一个跟从基督之人的路上。十字架乃是把本性的情感和意志钉死的十字架。心若不全然成圣归于上帝,意志和情感和思想若不顺服上帝的旨意,就不能实行真信仰的原则,也不能在生活中示范基督的生活。(2T.651).{LHU242.4}
高举主耶稣-第229章
Self-denial and the cross lie directly in the pathway of every follower of Christ. The cross is that which crosses the natural affections and the will. If the heart is not wholly sanctified to God, if the will and affections and thoughts are not brought into subjection to the will of God, there will be a failure to carry out the principles of true religion and to exemplify in the life the life of Christ (Testimonies for the Church 2:651). {LHU 242.4}
高举主耶稣-第229章
跟从基督的人应该象祂那样重视生灵。他们应当同情支持亲爱救赎主的工作,应当努力拯救祂宝血所买来的人,不计任何牺牲。金钱、房屋和田产与一个人的灵魂相比算得了什么呢?{LHU242.5}
高举主耶稣-第229章
The followers of Christ should value souls as He valued them. Their sympathies should be with the work of their dear Redeemer, and they should labor to save the purchase of His blood, at any sacrifice. What are money, houses, and lands in comparison with even one soul? {LHU 242.5}
高举主耶稣-第229章
基督已做了充分而完全的牺牲,足以拯救亚当的每一个儿女,他们应该向上帝悔改,因为他们违背了祂的律法,且应对我们的主耶稣基督表现出信心。然而尽管所做的牺牲是充足的,却只有很少的人同意过顺从的生活,以便拥有这伟大的救恩。很少有人甘愿效法祂令人惊异的穷困,经受祂的痛苦和逼迫,分担祂令人疲惫不堪的工作,使别人来就光。……基督是我们救恩的元帅,祂已用自己的苦难和牺牲给凡跟从祂的人树立了一个榜样,他们若愿正确地表现祂胸怀中常存的对堕落人类的爱,就必需警醒祈祷,并且付出恒切的努力。(2T.664).{LHU242.6}
高举主耶稣-第229章
Christ made a full and complete sacrifice, a sacrifice sufficient to save every son and daughter of Adam who should show repentance toward God for having transgressed His law, and manifest faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Yet notwithstanding the sacrifice was ample, but few consent to a life of obedience that they may have this great salvation. Few are willing to imitate His amazing privations, to endure His sufferings and persecutions, and to share His exhausting labor to bring others to the light.... Christ is the Captain of our salvation, and by His own sufferings and sacrifice He has given an example to all His followers that watchfulness and prayer, and persevering effort, were necessary on their part if they would rightly represent the love which dwelt in His bosom for the fallen race (Testimonies for the Church 2:664). {LHU 242.6}
