We Love God’s Commandments More Than Gold, February 17
上帝的儿女-第49章
「所以我爱你的命令胜于金子,更胜于精金」(诗119:127)。{SD54.1}[1]
上帝的儿女-第49章
Love Is the Fulfilling of the Law
Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.Psalm 119:127.{SD 54.1}[1]
上帝的儿女-第49章
在当今危险的日子中,我们维护上帝的真理,热心遵守祂的诫命,难道不及早年吗?基督所预言祂在能力和大荣耀中复临之前的状况,都已经出现了。流行的不敬虔之风,麻痹甚至摧毁了真正的信心与虔诚。但这正是基督徒精金般的忠贞发出最耀眼光芒的时候,与伪善和腐败的渣滓形成鲜明的对比。现在正是基督的选民表现出他们忠于祂圣工的时候,——一切跟从祂的人应当以坚定的意志抵制流行的罪恶,为他们的主作出最崇高的见证。{SD54.2}[2]
上帝的儿女-第49章
In these days of peril shall we show less devotion to the truth of God, and less fervent attachment to His law, than in former years? The very condition of things exists which Christ declared would be, prior to His second coming in power and glory. The prevailing ungodliness tends to paralyze and even to destroy true faith and piety. But this is the very time when the gold of Christian integrity will shine brightest, in contrast to the dross of hypocrisy and corruption. Now is the time for Christ’s chosen to show their devotion to His service,—the time for all His followers to bear the noblest testimony for their Master by standing firm against the prevailing current of evil.{SD 54.2}[2]

我们目睹藐视上帝律法的后果——不诚实、盗窃、放荡、醉酒和凶杀——就当与诗人同说:「我爱你的命令胜于金子,更胜于精金」。「看守这些,便有大赏」。抛弃上帝的律法会给家庭和社会带来最大的不幸。我们对更美之事的唯一盼望,就是忠诚地遵守耶和华的律法。不信上帝的法国曾试图拒绝上帝的权威,却造成了多么恐怖的局面!人将上帝的律法视为重轭而废弃。但他们所夸耀的自由却使他们落入最残暴的权势之下。在那段恐怖的时期中,无法无天,血流成河,向全世界表明取消上帝的律法,足以颠覆秩序和政权的基础。……{SD54.3}[3]

As we see the results which have followed a disregard of God’s law,—dishonesty, theft, licentiousness, drunkenness, and murder,—we are prepared to say with the psalmist, “I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold”; “in keeping of them, there is great reward.” When the divine law is set aside, the greatest misery will result, both to families and to society. Our only hope of better things is to be found in a faithful adherence to the precepts of Jehovah. Infidel France once tried the experiment of rejecting the authority of God. What scenes of horror followed! Men cast aside the divine law as a yoke of bondage, and in their boasted liberty they placed themselves under the rule of the veriest tyrant. Anarchy and bloodshed ruled that terrible day. It was then demonstrated to the world that the surest way to undermine the foundation of order and government, is to set at naught the law of God....{SD 54.3}[3]

我们决不可以为自己有继续犯罪的任何理由,却当空前地认识到上帝对我们要求的公正和祂律法的神圣性,因为基督曾舍弃自己的性命来维护这律法的权威。顺从的人不久将收获遵守上帝诫命的成果。{SD54.4}[4]
上帝的儿女-第49章
Instead of feeling that we are now in the slightest degree excusable in further transgression, we shall realize as never before the justice of God’s claims upon us, and the sacred character of His law, since Christ must die to maintain its authority. Ere long the obedient will see the blessed results that follow the keeping of all God’s commandments.45{SD 54.4}[4]
