Be Strong in His Grace, September 10
高举主耶稣-第254章
“我儿啊,你要在基督耶稣的恩典上刚强起来。你在许多见证人面前听见我所教训的,也要交托那忠心能教导别人的人”(提后2:1,2)。{LHU267.1}
高举主耶稣-第254章
Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 2 Timothy 2:1, 2. {LHU 267.1}
高举主耶稣-第254章
在保罗对提摩太所说的话中,包含着我们现今所极为重要的教训。他嘱咐提摩太要“刚强起来”──是靠着他自己的智慧吗?──不!乃是“要在基督耶稣的恩典上”。凡愿意跟随基督的人不可倚仗自己的才能,或者信靠自己。他也不可在宗教活动中作不健全的人,逃避责任,在上帝的圣工上毫无效能。他要从安全可靠的源头汲取力量。获得神圣力量的人决不会失败。保罗劝我们“要在基督耶稣的恩典上刚强起来。”基督徒若认识到自己的软弱无能,完全信靠上帝,他就会发现基督的恩典足够应付每一次危机。{LHU267.2}

The lessons contained in the words of Paul to Timothy are of the greatest importance to us today. He charges him to “be strong”—in his own wisdom? No, but “in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.” He who would be a follower of Christ is not to rely upon his own capabilities, or to feel confident in himself. Neither is to be dwarfed in his religious efforts, to shun responsibilities, and remain inefficient in the cause of God. He is to draw strength from a sure and safe source, that never fails those who would have divine power. The exhortation to us is, “Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.” If the Christian feels his weakness, his inability, by putting his trust in God, he will find the grace of Christ sufficient for every emergency. {LHU 267.2}

基督的战士会遭遇各种试探。务要抗拒并战胜这些试探。战斗越剧烈,恩典的供应也就越充分,以满足人的需要。所接受恩典会扩大基督的仆人对上帝和祂所差来的耶稣基督的认识。信徒的心,将强烈渴望认识和明白更多的真理和基督的义。凡在属灵生活上进步的人,会得到更大的能力,寻求真理,如同寻求隐藏的财宝那样,并将真理运用在自己心中。真正的基督徒会理解经历严峻斗争和艰难的意义。然而他会在基督的恩典上不住地长进,成功地对付他心灵的仇敌,这个仇敌正要以人为媒介毁灭基督的仆人。跟从基督的人经过严峻的试炼,会更加明白上帝的道和救赎的计划,从而了解敌人的狡计。黑暗有时会压在他心头;但真光必要照耀。公义日头辉煌的光线必驱散黑暗。虽然撒但千方百计在他面前设置障碍要使他灰心,但靠着基督的恩典,他必能忠心地见证他从上帝所启示的使者那里所听到的一切。他不藐视、也不忽略所领受的信息,而是把他所知道的转告其它忠心的人,让他们再去教导别人。基督徒把亮光传递给别人,证明了“义人的路好像黎明的光,越照越明,直到日午”(箴4:18)的真理。(RH.1896.6.16).{LHU267.3}
高举主耶稣-第254章
The soldier of Christ must meet many forms of temptation, and resist and overcome them. The fiercer the conflict, the greater the supply of grace to meet the need of the soul; and the very nature of the grace received will enlarge the capacity of the servant of Christ to know God, and Jesus Christ whom he hath sent. The soul of the believer will go out in intense longing to know and understand more of the truth and righteousness of Christ. All who advance in the divine life will have increased ability to search for truth as for hid treasure, and will appropriate the truth to their own souls. The true Christian will understand what it means to pass through severe conflicts and trying experiences; but he will steadily increase in the grace of Christ to meet successfully the enemy of his soul, who works through human agency to cause the ruin of the servants of Christ. By passing through severe ordeals of trial, the follower of Christ will better understand the ways of God and the plan of redemption, and will not be ignorant of the devices of the enemy. The darkness will press upon his soul at times; but the true light will shine, the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness will dispel the gloom; and although Satan seeks in every way to discourage him by presenting obstacles before him, through the grace of Christ he will be enabled to be a faithful witness of the things which he has heard from the inspired messenger of God. He does not despise or neglect the message received, but commits his knowledge to faithful men, who in their turn are to be able to teach others also. In communicating the light to others, the Christian proves the truth of the word that “the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18) (The Review and Herald, June 16, 1896). {LHU 267.3}
