上帝的儿女-第52章
We Shall Not Serve Any Graven Images, February 20
上帝的儿女-第52章
「不可为自己雕刻偶像;也不可做什么形像,彷佛上天、下地和地底下、水中的百物。不可跪拜那些像;也不可侍奉他」(出20:4、5)。{SD57.1}[1]

Promises to All Who Keep God’s Law of Love
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.Exodus 20:4, 5.{SD 57.1}[1]
上帝的儿女-第52章
我们的创造主要求我们对祂非常虔诚和忠诚。凡减损我们对上帝的爱,或妨碍我们侍奉祂的事物,均属偶像。有人以自己的田地、房屋、财产为偶像。他们热心拓展自己的事业,却把侍奉上帝放在次要的地位。他们忽略了家庭礼拜,忘记了私下的祷告。许多人自称没有亏待同胞,已尽到了一切责任。可是单遵守后六条诫命是不够的。我们必须尽心爱主我们的上帝。如果不遵守每一条诫命,……就不算满足上帝律法的要求。{SD57.2}[2]
上帝的儿女-第52章
Our Creator demands our supreme devotion, our first allegiance. Anything which tends to abate our love for God, or to interfere with the service due Him, becomes thereby an idol. With some their lands, their houses, their merchandise, are the idols. Business enterprises are prosecuted with zeal and energy, while the service of God is made a secondary consideration. Family worship is neglected, secret prayer forgotten. Many claim to deal justly with their fellow-men, and seem to feel that in so doing they discharge their whole duty. But it is not enough to keep the last six commandments of the Decalogue. We are to love the Lord our God with all the heart. Nothing short of obedience to every precept ... can satisfy the claims of the divine law.{SD 57.2}[2]
上帝的儿女-第52章
有许多人的心地因顺境而刚硬,忘记了上帝,也忘记了同胞的需要。自称为基督徒的人,用珠宝、花边和贵重的衣服装饰自己,而同为上帝所造的穷人却受缺衣少食之苦。自称蒙救主宝血所救赎的人,却浪费了托付给他们用来救人的钱财,在教会的捐献上非常勉强,只是在带来荣誉时才慷慨解囊。这些人都是拜偶像的。{SD57.3}[3]
上帝的儿女-第52章
There are many whose hearts have been so hardened by prosperity that they forget God, and forget the wants of their fellow-men. Professed Christians adorn themselves with jewelry, laces, costly apparel, while the Lord’s poor suffer for the necessaries of life. Men and women who claim redemption through a Saviour’s blood will squander the means intrusted to them for the saving of other souls, and then grudging dole out their offerings for religion, giving liberally only when it will bring honor to themselves. These are idolaters.51{SD 57.3}[3]
上帝的儿女-第52章
凡使我们忘记上帝的事物都是偶像。今日教会中能力这么小,原因就在这里。{SD57.4}[4]
上帝的儿女-第52章
Anything that diverts the mind from God assumes the form of an idol, and that is why there is so little power in the church today.52{SD 57.4}[4]
上帝的儿女-第52章
第二条诫命禁止人用偶像或形象敬拜真神。……人心若转离耶和华无穷的完全,就必被引诱去敬拜受造之物,而不敬拜造物之主。{SD57.5}[5]
上帝的儿女-第52章
The second commandment forbids the worship of the true God by images or similitudes.... The mind, turned away from the infinite perfection of Jehovah, would be attracted to the creature rather than to the Creator.53{SD 57.5}[5]
上帝的儿女-第52章
上帝是鉴察人心的。祂会辨别诚心的侍奉和偶像崇拜。{SD57.6}[6]
上帝的儿女-第52章
God is a searcher of the heart. He distinguishes between true heart-service and idolatry.54{SD 57.6}[6]
