Christian Growth Follows Obedience
As new born babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.1 Peter 2:2, 3.{WGD 168.1}[1]
黎明的灵修-第166章
我们应向学生们指出,圣经是人类所要研究的最重要的学科。这本书包含着今生和来生所必需的知识。……凡在学习期间熟悉圣经的真理,并体会到圣经改变人心之能力的学生,必定会借着他们有秩序的生活和敬虔的谈吐向世人显示基督的品格。(CT 395)[2]
黎明的灵修-第166章
We recommend to every student the Book of books as the grandest study for human intelligence, the book that contains the knowledge essential for this life and the life to come.... The student who in his school life becomes familiar with the truths of God’s Word and feels their transforming power upon his heart, will represent the character of Christ to the world in well-ordered life and a godly conversation.—Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 395.{WGD 168.2}[2]
黎明的灵修-第166章
生命如此,生长也是如此。上帝使蓓蕾吐芳,花儿结实。祂的能力使种子茁壮成长,“先发苗.后长穗,再后穗上结成饱满的子粒”(可4:28)。……草木百花的成长,不是靠本身的操心,忧虑和努力,而是靠领受上帝的恩赐来维持他们的生命。孩童也不是靠自己的忧虑和操劳长大的。同样,你们也不可能靠自己的忧虑和努力在属灵上成长。植物和儿童都是靠吸收周围维持生命的空气,阳光和食物而成长的。大自然的赐给动植物的礼物,正如基督赐给信祂之人的礼物一样。……上帝赐下自己的儿子这个无比的恩赐,就是把整个世界都包围在恩惠的气氛中,如同地球为大气层所包围一样。凡愿意吸取这赐生命之空气的人都必得生,并在基督耶稣里逐渐长大成人。正如花草转向日光,…我们也当转向公义的日头,……使我们的品格发展成基督的样式。(SC 67、68)[3]
黎明的灵修-第166章
As with life, so it is with growth. It is God who brings the bud to bloom and the flower to fruit. It is by His power that the seed develops, “first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.” ... The plants and flowers grow not by their own care or anxiety or effort, but by receiving that which God has furnished to minister to their life. The child can not, by any anxiety or power of its own, add to its stature. No more can you, by anxiety or effort of yourself, secure spiritual growth. The plant, the child, grows by receiving from its surroundings that which ministers to its life,—air, sunshine, and food. What these gifts of nature are to animal and plant, such is Christ to those who trust in Him.... In the matchless gift of His Son, God has encircled the whole world with an atmosphere of grace, as real as the air which circulates around the globe. All who choose to breathe this life-giving atmosphere will live, and grow up to the stature of men and women in Christ Jesus. As the flower turns to the sun ... so should we turn to the Sun of Righteousness, ... that our character may be developed into the likeness of Christ.—Steps to Christ, 67, 68.{WGD 168.3}[3]
