Truth the Basis of Character, November 18
高举主耶稣-第323章
“我将祢的话藏在心里,免得我得罪祢”(诗119:11)。{LHU336.1}
高举主耶稣-第323章
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Psalm 119:11. {LHU 336.1}
高举主耶稣-第323章
那些研究圣经,求问上帝,依赖基督的人,必能随时随地聪明行事。良好的原则必在实际的生活中证明出来。唯有真诚地接受现代真理,并使之成为品格的基础,它才会产生坚定的意志。这种意志是娱乐的引诱、习尚的变易、爱世界之辈的藐视、以及自我放纵的内心呼喊,都无力影响的。良知必须先蒙启迪,意志也必须予以驯服。对真理和公义的爱,必须在人心中占统治地位,然后,才会显露出一种天庭所赞许的品格来。{LHU336.2}
高举主耶稣-第323章
Those who study the Bible, counsel with God, and rely upon Christ will be enabled to act wisely at all times and under all circumstances. Good principles will be illustrated in actual life. Only let the truth for this time be cordially received and become the basis of character, and it will produce steadfastness of purpose, which the allurements of pleasure, the fickleness of custom, the contempt of the world-loving, and the heart’s own clamors for self-indulgence are powerless to influence. Conscience must be first enlightened, the will must be brought into subjection. The love of truth and righteousness must reign in the soul, and a character will appear which heaven can approve. {LHU 336.2}
高举主耶稣-第323章
我们有显著的例证,说明坚定的宗教原则所具有的支持力。即使对死亡的恐惧,也不能使渴想喝水的大卫,去喝三个勇士冒生命的危险去伯利恒城门旁井里打来的水。那敞开的狮子洞,不能拦阻但以理的每日祈祷,烈火的窑也不能使沙得拉和他的同伴跪拜尼布甲尼撒所立的偶像。凡持守坚定原则的青少年,必远避娱乐,藐视痛苦,甚至敢冒狮子洞和烈火窑的危险,也不显示对上帝不忠。且注意约瑟的品格,美德虽受到严重的考验,但它的胜利却是完全的。……在每一试炼上,这同一高尚不屈的原则都表现出来了。主与他同在,祂的话就是律法。{LHU336.3}
高举主耶稣-第323章
We have marked illustrations of the sustaining power of firm, religious principle. Even the fear of death could not make the fainting David drink of the water of Bethlehem, to obtain which, valiant men had risked their lives. The gaping lions’ den could not keep Daniel from his daily prayers, nor could the fiery furnace induce Shadrach and his companions to fall down before the idol which Nebuchadnezzar set up. Young men who have firm principles will eschew [shun] pleasure, defy pain, and brave even the lions’ den and the heated fiery furnace rather than be found untrue to God. Mark the character of Joseph. Virtue was severely tested, but its triumph was complete.... The same lofty, unbending principle appeared at every trial. The Lord was with him, and His word was law. {LHU 336.3}

与当代青年的软弱无能相比较,这样坚定不移、毫无污点的原则,显得光芒万丈。……{LHU336.4}
高举主耶稣-第323章
Such firmness and untarnished principle shines brightest in contrast with the feebleness and inefficiency of the youth of this age.... {LHU 336.4}
高举主耶稣-第323章
那种认为必须顺着任性乖张的孩子的想法是错误的。以利沙在刚刚开始工作时,受到伯特利童子的戏笑嘲弄。他本是一个非常温和的人,但上帝的灵催促他咒诅那些骂他的童子。他们曾经听说以利亚升天的事情,但他们竟然把这件严肃的事,当作嘲笑的口实。以利沙表明,他决不容许任何人嘲笑他所接受的神圣使命,不论是大人还是儿童。当他们告诉他,最好是像以利亚那样上去时,他就奉主的名咒诅了他们。临到这些童子头上的可怕刑罚,乃是出于上帝。这事以后,以利沙在完成他的使命方面,没有遇见过任何更深的麻烦。有五十年之久,他在伯特利的城门走进走出,从这城到那城来往奔走,面对过许许多多最恶劣、最粗野,无所事事,放荡不羁的青少年群伙,却再没有一个人敢嘲笑他,或轻视他作为至高者先知的资格了。在他先知生涯一开始的时候,所发生的这一件严厉可怕的事件,足够为他博得了人们对他的毕生尊敬。(5T.43,44).{LHU336.5}
高举主耶稣-第323章
The idea that we must submit to ways of perverse children is a mistake. Elisha, at the very commencement of his work, was mocked and derided by the youth of Bethel. He was a man of great mildness, but the Spirit of God impelled him to pronounce a curse upon those railers. They had heard of Elijah’s ascension, and they made this solemn event the subject of jeers. Elisha evinced that he was not to be trifled with, by old or young, in his sacred calling. When they told him he had better go up, as Elijah had done before him, he cursed them in the name of the Lord. The awful judgment that came upon them was of God. After this, Elisha had no further trouble in his mission. For 50 years he passed in and out of the gate of Bethel, and went to and from city to city, passing through crowds of the worst and rudest of idle, dissolute youth, but no one ever mocked him or made light of his qualifications as the prophet of the Most High. This one instance of terrible severity in the commencement of his career was sufficient to command respect through his whole life (Testimonies for the Church 5:43, 44). {LHU 336.5}
