“Partakers of the Divine Nature,” February 22
一同在天上-第54章
“因此,祂已将又宝贵又极大的应许赐给我们,叫我们既脱离世上从情欲来的败坏,就得与上帝的性情有分”(彼后1:4)。{HP59.1}[1]

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.2 Peter 1:4.{HP 59.1}[1]

“与上帝的性情有分。”这可能吗?我们靠自己不能行善。既然如此,我们怎么与上帝的性情有分呢?就是按照我们现在这种贫乏、无助、孤单的状况就近基督。祂受死使我们能与上帝的性情有分。祂亲自取了人性,以便与人类接触。祂用祂无比之爱的金链,将我们系于上帝的宝座。我们要获得能力,象祂那样得胜。{HP59.2}[2]

“Partakers of the divine nature.” Is this possible? Of ourselves we can do no good thing. How, then, can we be partakers of the divine nature? By coming to Christ just as we are, needy, helpless, dependent. He died to make it possible for us to be partakers of the divine nature. He took humanity upon Himself that He might reach humanity. With the golden chain of His matchless love He has bound us to the throne of God. We are to have power to overcome as He overcame.{HP 59.2}[2]

祂向所有的人发出邀请说:“到我这里来。……我心里柔和谦卑,你们当负我的轭,学我的样式,这样,你们心里就必得享安息”(太11:28-29)。{HP59.3}[3]

To all He gives the invitation: “Come unto me.... Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls ...” (Matthew 11:28-30).{HP 59.3}[3]

我们在这项工作中有当尽的本分。任何人都不要以为,他们在地上不需要参与战斗就会被接升天。我们有仗要打,有胜利要争取。上帝吩咐我们要“作成你们得救的工夫。”怎么作呢?“当恐惧战兢,……因为你们立志行事,都是上帝在你们心里运行,为要成就祂的美意”(腓2:12-13)。上帝行事,人也要行事。……唯其如此,我们才能与上帝的性情有分。{HP59.4}[4]

We have a part to act in this work. Let none think that men and women are going to be taken to heaven without engaging in the struggle here below. We have a battle to fight, a victory to gain. God says to us, “Work out your own salvation.” How? “With fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure” (Philippians 2:12, 13). God works, and man works.... Thus only can we be partakers of the divine nature.{HP 59.4}[4]

真宗教的一贯性就在这里。我们要“与上帝同工”,与祂和谐工作。“你们是上帝所耕种的田地,所建造的房屋”(林前3:9)。这个比喻代表人的品格,需要一点一点建造。上帝每日从事祂房屋的建造,完善其结构,以成为祂的圣殿。人必须与上帝合作,靠着祂的力量,努力实现上帝对于他的理想,以纯洁高贵的行为建立自己的人生。……{HP59.5}[5]

Here is the consistency of true religion. We are to be “labourers together with God,” working in harmony with Him. “Ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building” (1 Corinthians 3:9). This figure represents human character, which is to be wrought upon point by point. Each day God works on His building to perfect the structure, that it may become a holy temple for Him. Man is to cooperate with God, striving in His strength to make himself what God designs him to be, building his life with pure, noble deeds....{HP 59.5}[5]

上帝要求我们一次只过好一天。你不必展望一周或一个月以后。要在今天尽你的努力。要在今天说话行事将荣耀归于上帝。主应许说:“你的日子如何,你的力量也必如何”(申33:25)。{HP59.6}[6]
一同在天上-第54章
God asks us to live only one day at a time. You need not look a week or a month ahead.Today?do your best. Today speak and act in a way that will honor God. The promise is, “As thy days, so shall thy strength be” (Deuteronomy 33:25).36{HP 59.6}[6]
