奇妙的神恩-第238章
“愿赐平安的上帝亲自使你们全然成圣。又愿你们的灵与魂与身子得蒙保守,在我们主耶稣基督降临的时候,完全无可指摘”(帖前5:23){AG 245.1}。[1]
奇妙的神恩-第238章
The very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.1 Thessalonians 5:23.{AG 245.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第238章
圣经所提出的成圣,乃包括整个人——灵、魂、与身子。……保罗嘱咐基督徒献上他们的身体,“当作活祭,是圣洁的,是上帝所喜悦的”(罗12:1)。为要作到这一点,他们一切的能力都必须尽可能地保持着最健全的状态。任何足以减弱体力或智力的事,都会降低人为创造主服务的资格。……基督说:“你要尽心……爱主你的上帝”(太22:37)。凡是真正尽心爱上帝的人必渴望把他们一生最好的服务献给祂。他们也必不断地追求使自己所有的力量都符合那些能增进他们的能力去遵行上帝旨意的定律。他们必不会因放纵食欲或情欲,以致减弱或污损他们所献给天父的祭物。{GC 473}{AG 245.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第238章
The sanctification set forth in the Scriptures embraces the entire being—spirit, soul, and body.... Christians are bidden to present their bodies, “a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God” (Romans 12:1). In order to do this, all their powers must be preserved in the best possible condition. Every practice that weakens physical or mental strength unfits man for the service of his Creator.... Said Christ: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart” (Matthew 22:37). Those who do love God with all the heart will desire to give Him the best service of their life, and they will be constantly seeking to bring every power of their being into harmony with the laws that will promote their ability to do His will. They will not, by the indulgence of appetite or passion, enfeeble or defile the offering which they present to their heavenly Father.73{AG 245.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第238章
上帝要我们明白,祂有权拥有我们的灵、智、体和一切。我们因创造和救赎而属祂。作为我们的创造主,祂要求我们完全的事奉;作为我们的救赎主,祂要求我们公义和仁爱——无比的爱。……我们的身体、心灵、和生命都是属于祂的。不仅因为它们是上帝白白赐给的礼物,而且因为祂不断供应我们福惠,又赐给我们力量来运用我们的才能。……{AG 245.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第238章
God would have us realize that He has a right to mind, soul, body, and spirit—to all that we possess. We are His by creation and by redemption. As our Creator, He claims our entire service. As our Redeemer, He has a claim of love as well as of right—of love without a parallel.... Our bodies, our souls, our lives, are His, not only because they are His free gift, but because He constantly supplies us with His benefits, and gives us strength to use our faculties....{AG 245.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第238章
我们难道不献身给那位舍命救赎我们的基督?你若肯献身,祂必感动你的良心,更新你的心灵,圣化你的感情,洁净你的思想,使你全力为祂作工。你的每一动机和思想都会被耶稣基督所夺。{AG 245.6}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第238章
Shall we not, then, give to Christ that which He has died to redeem? If you will do this, He will quicken your conscience, renew your heart, sanctify your affections, purify your thoughts, and set all your powers at work for Him. Every motive, and every thought will be brought into captivity to Jesus Christ.{AG 245.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第238章
上帝的儿女要在品格上代表基督。他们的行为要表现出上帝儿子无穷的恩慈、怜悯、仁爱和纯洁。他们的身心要更加完全地顺服圣灵。献给祂的祭物也要更加芳香。[7BC909] {AG 245.7}[5]
奇妙的神恩-第238章
Those who are sons of God will represent Christ in character. Their works will be perfumed by the infinite tenderness, compassion, love, and purity of the Son of God. And the more completely mind and body are yielded to the Holy Spirit, the greater will be the fragrance of our offering to Him.74{AG 245.5}[5]
