“敬畏祢的人见我,就要欢喜。因我仰望祢的话”(诗119:74)。{HB39.1}[1]

Those who fear You will be glad when they see me, because I have hoped in Your word.—Psalm 119:74.{HB 39.1}[1]
我们回天家-第25章
圣经的真理若交织到实际生活中,就会使心智超脱它的世俗和卑贱。那些精通圣经的人,必显明是能发挥高尚影响的男男女女。在查考上天所启示的真理时,上帝的灵便与真诚查考圣经的人有密切的联络。明白上帝已启示的旨意,使人的心智得到开阔和提升,得到新的活力,因为心智的各项才能都与令人惊叹的真理接触上了。若是研究圣经成了次要的事,就必承受极大的损失。圣经一度被我们的学校排斥在外,撒但便得到了一块肥沃的田地,他便在其中以惊人的速度作工,得了他想要的收成。{HB39.2}[2]

If the truths of the Bible are woven into practical life, they will bring the mind up from its earthliness and debasement. Those who are conversant with the Scriptures, will be found to be men and women who exert an elevating influence. In searching for the heaven-revealed truths, the Spirit of God is brought into close connection with the sincere searcher of the Scriptures. An understanding of the revealed will of God, enlarges the mind, expands, elevates, and endows it with new vigor, by bringing its faculties in contact with stupendous truths. If the study of the Scriptures is made a secondary consideration, great loss is sustained. The Bible was for a time excluded from our schools, and Satan found a rich field, in which he worked with marvelous rapidity, and gathered a harvest to his liking.{HB 39.2}[2]

人的悟性接受它所熟悉之事物的水准。若是人人都以圣经为自己的研究对象,我们就会看到一班更加发展、能进行更深刻的思考、显出更大智力程度的人,超过十分认真努力地仅仅研究世上的科学和历史的人。圣经使真心寻求的人得到高级的智力训练。思考神圣的事物,会丰富他的才华,降卑自我,高举上帝和祂所显示的真理。正是因为人们不熟悉宝贵的圣经历史,才有这么多高举人的事,这么少尊荣上帝的事。圣经含有基督徒属灵和心智发展所需要的食物。研究一切哲学和科学书籍,都不能为人的心智和道德作成学习和实践圣经所能做的事。藉着研究圣经,人心可以与先祖和先知交谈。真理既用高尚的言语表述,就能感化人心,使人的思想超脱属世的事物,思考不朽来生的荣耀。人间的何等智慧可与上帝启示的伟大庄严相比较呢?有限的人既不认识上帝,就会设法贬低圣经的价值,把真理埋藏在假定的科学知识之下.(《基督教育原理》129,130页){HB39.3}[3]
我们回天家-第25章
The understanding takes the level of the things with which it becomes familiar. If all would make the Bible their study, we should see a people further developed, capable of thinking more deeply, and showing a greater degree of intelligence, than the most earnest efforts in studying merely the sciences and histories of the world could make them. The Bible gives the true seeker an advanced mental discipline, and he comes from contemplation of divine things with his faculties enriched; self is humbled, while God and His revealed truth are exalted. It is because people are unacquainted with the precious Bible histories, that there is so much lifting up of the human, and so little honor given to God. The Bible contains just that quality of food that the Christian needs in order to grow strong in spirit and intellect. The searching of all books of philosophy and science cannot do for the mind and morals what the Bible can do, if it is studied and practiced. Through the study of the Bible, converse is held with patriarchs and prophets. The truth is clothed in elevated language, which exerts a fascinating power over the mind; the thought is lifted up from the things of earth, and brought to contemplate the glory of the future immortal life. What wisdom of man can compare with the grandeur of the revelation of God? Finite man, who knows not God, may seek to lessen the value of the Scriptures, and may bury the truth beneath the supposed knowledge of science.—Fundamentals of Christian Education, 129, 130.{HB 39.3}[3]
