使我认识祂-第148章
“你们若有彼此相爱的心,众人因此就认出你们是我的门徒了”(约13:35)。{TMK153.1}[1]
使我认识祂-第148章
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.John 13:35.{TMK 153.1}[1]
使我认识祂-第148章
没有什么事物能像缺乏爱心那样有效地削弱教会的感化力。……世人现今正注视着我们,要看看我们的信仰在自己的品格和行为上生发怎样的效果。他们正在注意要知道这信仰在我们心中有无圣化的作用,我们是否在逐渐变成基督的样式。他们在随时等待要发现我们生活方面的缺点,行为上的每一矛盾之处。惟愿我们不给他们留下玷辱我们信仰的把柄。{TMK153.2}[2]
使我认识祂-第148章
There is nothing that can so weaken the influence of the church as the lack of love.... The people of the world are looking to us to see what our faith is doing for our characters and lives. They are watching to see if it is having a sanctifying effect on our hearts, if we are becoming changed into the likeness of Christ. They are ready to discover every defect in our lives, every inconsistency in our actions. Let us give them no occasion to reproach our faith.{TMK 153.2}[2]

那最危害我们的并不是世人的敌对;造成我们最严重祸害的乃是我们中间所怀存的罪恶。那拦阻真理圣工并使黑暗笼罩上帝教会的,乃是那班不热心的自称信徒之人未献身不圣洁的生活。{TMK153.3}[3]
使我认识祂-第148章
It is not the opposition of the world that will most endanger us; it is the evil cherished right in our midst that works our most grievous disaster. It is the unconsecrated lives of halfhearted professors that retard the work of the truth and bring darkness upon the church of God.{TMK 153.3}[3]
使我认识祂-第148章
那在属灵的事上最有效削弱我们自己的方法,莫过于存心嫉妒,彼此怀疑,充满挑剔,恶意猜测。……{TMK153.4}[4]
使我认识祂-第148章
There is no surer way of weakening ourselves in spiritual things than to be envious, suspicious of one another, full of faultfinding and evil surmising....{TMK 153.4}[4]
使我认识祂-第148章
你们在一起交往时,要要谨慎自己的言语。……你们若有爱真理的心,就必谈论真理。你们就会谈论你们在耶稣里的洪福之望。你们心中若有爱,就必设法在至圣的真道上坚固和造就你们的弟兄。若是有一句话说出来有害于你朋友或弟兄的品格,就不要鼓励这种邪恶的言论。这是仇敌的工作。要仁慈地提醒讲话的人,上帝的道禁止那种谈论。我们要倒空心中一切污秽心灵圣殿的东西,以便基督住在里面。我们的救赎主已经告诉我们如何可以把祂向世人表明出来。我们若是怀有祂的精神,若是向别人表现祂的爱,若是关照彼此的利益,若是仁慈、忍耐、宽容,世人就会因我们所结的果子而有证据,证明我们是上帝的儿女。正是教会中的团结才使教会能在非信徒和世俗的人身上发挥一种有意识的感化力。(《评论与通讯》1888年6月5日){TMK153.5}[5]
使我认识祂-第148章
When you are associated together, be guarded in your words.... If the love of the truth is in your heart you will talk of the truth. You will talk of the blessed hope that you have in Jesus. If you have love in your heart you will seek to establish and build up your brother in the most holy faith. If a word is dropped that is detrimental to the character of your friend or brother, do not encourage this evil speaking. It is the work of the enemy. Kindly remind the speaker that the Word of God forbids that kind of conversation. We are to empty the heart of everything that defiles the soul temple, that Christ may dwell within. Our Redeemer has told us how we may reveal Him to the world. If we cherish His spirit, if we manifest His love to others, if we guard one another’s interests, if we are kind, patient, forbearing, the world will have an evidence by the fruits we bear that we are the children of God. It is the unity in the church that enables it to exert a conscious influence upon unbelievers and worldlings.34{TMK 153.5}[5]
