信仰的基础-第105章
“上帝且用右手将祂高举,叫祂作君王、作救主,将悔改的心和赦罪的恩,赐给以色列人”(徒5:31)。{FLB 110.1}[1]

Justified by His Righteousness
Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.Acts 5:31.{FLB 110.1}[1]
信仰的基础-第105章
许多人对于救恩工作的最初几步困惑不解,以为罪人必须自己先行悔改,才能到基督面前来。他们以为罪人自己先行获得一定的资格,才能得到上帝恩典的福气。然而,悔改固然必须在赦免之先,因为只有破碎痛悔的心才蒙上帝悦纳,但是罪人无法使自己悔改,或预备好自己来到基督面前。……归向基督的第一步是藉着上帝之灵的吸引迈出的;当人回应这种吸引时,他就向基督前进,以便悔改。……{FLB 110.2}[2]
信仰的基础-第105章
Many are confused as to what constitutes the first steps in the work of salvation. Repentance is thought to be a work the sinner must do for himself in order that he may come to Christ. They think that the sinner must procure himself a fitness in order to obtain the blessing of God’s grace. But while it is true that repentance must precede forgiveness, for it is only the broken and contrite heart that is acceptable to God, yet the sinner cannot bring himself to repentance, or prepare himself to come to Christ.... The very first step to Christ is taken through the drawing of the Spirit of God; as man responds to this drawing, he advances toward Christ in order that he may repent....{FLB 110.2}[2]

彼得站在大祭司和撒都该人面前时,清楚地说明了悔改是上帝的恩赐这一事实。彼得论到基督,说:“上帝且用右手将祂高举,叫祂作君王、作救主,将悔改的心和赦罪的恩赐给以色列人”(徒5:31)。悔改、赦免和称义,同为上帝的恩赐,若非藉着基督赐给人,人就无法体验到。我们若被吸引到基督面前,这是因着祂的能力和功劳。痛悔己罪的恩典是藉着基督来到的,称义也是从祂而来。(1SM 391){FLB 110.3}[3]
信仰的基础-第105章
When before the high priests and Sadducees, Peter clearly presented the fact that repentance is the gift of God. Speaking of Christ, he said, “Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.” Repentance is no less the gift of God than are pardon and justification, and it cannot be experienced except as it is given to the soul by Christ. If we are drawn to Christ, it is through His power and virtue. The grace of contrition comes through Him, and from Him comes justification.52{FLB 110.3}[3]
信仰的基础-第105章
谁渴望真诚地悔改呢?他必须做什么呢?他必须按现状毫不迟延地到耶稣面前来。他必须相信基督的话是真实的,并且相信这应许:祈求,就得着。当真诚的愿望促使人祷告时,他们的祷告必不至徒然。主会实现祂的话,赐下圣灵引人悔改。……悔改的罪人会将祷告与信心结合,不仅相信而且顺从律法的训令。……他会放弃一切会吸引他的心离开上帝的习惯和交往。(1SM 393){FLB 110.4}[4]
信仰的基础-第105章
Who is desirous of becoming truly repentant? What must he do? He must come to Jesus, just as he is, without delay. He must believe that the word of Christ is true, and, believing the promise, ask, that he may receive. When sincere desire prompts men to pray, they will not pray in vain. The Lord will fulfill His word, and will give the Holy Spirit to lead to repentance.... With prayer he [the repentant sinner] will mingle faith, and not only believe in but obey the precepts of the law.... He will renounce all habits and associations that tend to draw the heart from God.53{FLB 110.4}[4]
