“惟用爱心说诚实话,凡事长进,连于元首基督”(弗4:15)。{TMK163.1}[1]

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ.Ephesians 4:15.{TMK 163.1}[1]
使我认识祂-第158章
你因真理而情绪激动,精神振奋,并不真正证明你是基督徒。问题是,你有没有朝着永活的元首基督长进?基督的恩典有没有彰显在你的生活中?上帝将祂的恩典赐给世人,使他们渴望得到祂更多的恩典。上帝的恩典在人心中不断地运行,既被接受,其证据就必表现在接受之人的生活和品格上,因为从内心发展的属灵生命必是看得见的。基督的恩典在心中总是会促进属灵的生命,造成属灵的进步。我们各人都需要一位个人的救主,否则就会在自己的罪孽中灭亡。但愿我们都扪心自问:我们是否在长成我们永活的元首基督的身量?我是否在获得更多有关上帝和祂所差来的耶稣基督的知识?我们虽看不见田野中植物的生长,但我们确知它们在生长。难道我们不知道自己属灵的力量和长进吗?(《评论与通讯》1892年5月24日){TMK163.2}[2]
使我认识祂-第158章
It is no real evidence that you are a Christian because your emotion is stirred, your spirit stirred by truth. The question is, Are you growing up into Christ, your living head? Is the grace of Christ manifested in your life? God gives His grace to men, that they may desire more of His grace. God’s grace is ever working upon the human heart, and when it is received, the evidence of its reception will appear in the life and character of its recipient, for spiritual life will be seen developing from within. The grace of Christ in the heart will always promote spiritual life, and spiritual advancement will be made. We each need a personal Saviour or we shall perish in our sins. Let the question be asked of our souls, Are we growing up unto Christ, our living head? Am I gaining advanced knowledge of God, and of Jesus Christ whom He hath sent? We do not see the plants grow in the field, and yet we are assured that they do grow, and may we not know of our own spiritual strength and growth??7{TMK 163.2}[2]
使我认识祂-第158章
当我们确实归主之时,我们的心就必充满谦卑、温柔与仁慈,因为耶稣已经赦免了我们的罪。我们既是顺命的儿女,就当领受并重视祂所惠赐的训诲,遵照祂所设立的制度。我们也当不住地寻求获得有关祂的知识。祂的榜样必作为我们人生的准则。基督的门徒必须负起祂所留下的工作,奉祂的名予以推进。他们惟独效法祂的言语、精神和作风。他们定睛在他们救恩的元帅身上。祂的旨意是他们的律法。而当他们向前迈进时,就更多更清晰地了解祂的圣颜、祂的品德和祂的荣耀。他们不依恋自己,而是坚持祂的圣言。……他们将有关祂旨意的知识实行出来。他们听聆和遵行耶稣所教导的事。……这等人有权利承受祂圣言的全部应许。他们既与基督合而为一,就遵行上帝的旨意,并彰显祂丰盛的恩典。(《评论与通讯》1891年8月4日){TMK163.3}[3]
使我认识祂-第158章
When we are truly Christ’s, our hearts will be full of meekness, gentleness, and kindness, because Jesus has forgiven our sins. As obedient children we shall receive and cherish the precepts He has given, and shall attend to the ordinances He has instituted. We shall be seeking constantly to obtain a knowledge of Him. His example will be our rule of life. Those who are Christ’s disciples will take the work where He left it and carry it forward in His name. They will copy the words, the spirit, the practices, of none but Him. Their eye is upon the Captain of their salvation. His will is their law. And as they advance, they catch more and clearer views of His countenance, of His character, of His glory. They do not cling to self, but hold fast His Word.... They reduce their knowledge of His will to practice. They hear and do the things that Jesus teaches.... Such are entitled to all the promises of His Word. Becoming one with Christ, they do the will of God, and exhibit the riches of His grace.8{TMK 163.3}[3]
