That the Church Is the Object of God’s Supreme Regard, January 7
上帝的儿女-第8章
「可以献给自己,作个荣耀的教会,毫无玷污、皱纹等类的病,乃是圣洁没有瑕疵的」弗5:27。{SD13.1}[1]
上帝的儿女-第8章
Amazing Love!
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.Ephesians 5:27.{SD 13.1}[1]
上帝的儿女-第8章
教会虽然有软弱有缺点,仍是基督在地上最关怀的对象。祂常常垂牵挂看守着教会,借着祂的圣灵加强她的力量。我们既为祂教会的肢体,难道不愿意让祂感化我们的心,借着我们作工,归荣耀给祂吗?{SD13.2}[2]
上帝的儿女-第8章
The church, enfeebled and defective though it be, is the only object on earth on which Christ bestows His supreme regard. He is constantly watching it with solicitude, and is strengthening it by His Holy Spirit. Will we, as members of His church, allow Him to impress our minds and to work through us to His glory??23{SD 13.2}[2]
上帝的儿女-第8章
基督爱祂的教会。祂愿意向那些求祂赐力量造就基督化品格的人提供一切必要的帮助。但祂的慈爱绝不是软弱。祂不会优待人的罪恶,或在人继续采取错误的行动时赐福与他们。他们只有诚心悔改,才能得蒙赦罪;因为上帝绝不用祂的义袍遮掩罪恶。祂重视忠诚的服务。凡向同胞表显祂公义、恩典和慈爱的人,上帝必赐给他们丰盛的福惠。唯愿事奉主的人真诚谦卑地行在主的面前,忠心跟从祂的脚踪,持守那存到永远的圣洁原则,唯愿他们的言行能证明他们是顺从天国所实施之律法的。{SD13.3}[3]
上帝的儿女-第8章
Christ loves His church. He will give all needed help to those who call upon Him for strength for the development of Christlike character. But His love is not weakness. He will not serve with their sins or give them prosperity while they continue to follow a wrong course of action. Only by faithful repentance will their sins be forgiven; for God will not cover evil with the robe of His righteousness. He will honor faithful service. He will abundantly bless those who reveal to their fellowmen His justice, mercy, and love. Let those who are engaged in His service walk before Him in true humility, following faithfully in His footsteps, cherishing the holy principles which will live through the eternal ages. Let them in word and action show that they obey the laws which are obeyed in heaven.24{SD 13.3}[3]
上帝的儿女-第8章
教会是基督丰盛恩典的宝库。上帝之爱的完美,终必借着教会彻底而充分地表现出来,甚至连「天上执政的、掌权的」(弗3:10)也必看见。……教会是上帝在这个叛逆世界上所设立的堡垒——祂的逃城。……教会是上帝施展神恩的所在。祂乐意在这里彰显祂改变人心的大能。{SD13.4}[4]
上帝的儿女-第8章
The church is the repository of the riches of the grace of Christ; and through the church will eventually be made manifest, even to “the principalities and powers in heavenly places,” the final and full display of the love of God.... The church is God’s fortress, His city of refuge, which He holds in a revolted world.... It is the theater of His grace, in which He delights to reveal His power to transform hearts.25{SD 13.4}[4]
上帝的儿女-第8章
上帝对祂教会的爱是无限的。祂不住地看顾祂的产业。{SD13.5}[5]
上帝的儿女-第8章
God’s love for His church is infinite. His care over His heritage is unceasing.26{SD 13.5}[5]
