崇高的恩召-第137章
“凡向祂有这指望的,就洁净自己,像祂洁净一样”(约壹3:3)。{OHC 142.1}[1]
崇高的恩召-第137章
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.1 John 3:3.{OHC 142.1}[1]
崇高的恩召-第137章
这节经文是指人类能从心中除去罪污吗?不。那洁净自己是什么意思呢?是指注视上帝公义的伟大道德标准,即上帝神圣的律法,在律法的光照下看出自己是个罪人。“凡犯罪的,就是违背律法;违背律法就是罪。你们知道主曾显现,是要除掉人的罪,在祂并没有罪”(约壹3:4、5)。人类……得到洁净是藉着相信耶稣基督。…… “凡住在祂里面的,就不犯罪”(约壹3:6)。上帝有能力保守住在基督里……的人。……单单自命为敬虔是毫无价值的。住在基督里面才算是基督徒。……{OHC 142.2}[2]

Does this text mean that the human agent can remove one stain of sin from his soul? No. Then what does it mean to purify himself? It means to look upon the Lord’s great moral standard of righteousness, the holy law of God, and see that he is a sinner in the light of that law. “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.”1 John 3:4, 5. It is through faith in Jesus Christ that ... the human agent is purified and cleansed.... “Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not.”Verse 6. God has power to keep the soul that is in Christ.... A mere profession of godliness is worthless. It is he that abideth in Christ that is a Christian....{OHC 142.2}[2]
崇高的恩召-第137章
我们的青年在任何国家和地区都要与上帝合作。人得蒙洁净的唯一方法就是与上帝有同一的心志。我们怎样才能认识上帝呢?就是借着研究祂的话。……{OHC 142.3}[3]
崇高的恩召-第137章
In every clime, in every nation, our youth should cooperate with God. The only way a person can be pure is to become like-minded with God. How can we know God? By studying His Word....{OHC 142.3}[3]
崇高的恩召-第137章
人若不以上帝的心为心,他要洁净自己的每一努力都是无用的,因为除了认识上帝以外,人是不可能得到拯救的。人可以掩饰其外表,如法利赛人一样。耶稣说他们是“粉饰的坟墓”,里面却是死人的骨头。但是人心的一切残疾在那凭公义施行审判的主面前都是敞开的。真理若没有栽培在心里,就无法控制生命。杯盘外面的清洁,不等于里面的清洁。名义上接受真理的作用不大。能说明我们信仰的缘由,这是不错的。但真理若不深入人心,人就不能得救。心灵中的一切道德污点都要得到洁净。“我的上帝阿!我知道你察验人心,喜悦正直”(代上29:17)。“上帝阿!求你鉴察我,知道我的心思;试炼我,知道我的意念,看在我里面有什么恶行没有,引导我走永生的道路”(诗139:23、24)。(LT.1893.13){OHC 142.4}[4]
崇高的恩召-第137章
Unless the mind of God becomes the mind of man, every effort to purify himself will be useless; for it is impossible to elevate man except through a knowledge of God. The outward gloss may be put on, and men may be as were the Pharisees whom Jesus describes as “whited sepulchres,” full of corruption and dead men’s bones. But all the deformity of the soul is open to Him who judgeth righteously, and unless the truth is planted in the heart, it cannot control the life. Cleansing the outside of the cup will never make the vessel pure within. A nominal acceptance of truth is good as far as it goes, and the ability to give a reason for our faith is a good accomplishment, but if the truth does not go deeper than this, the soul will never be saved. The heart must be purified from all moral defilement. “I know also my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness.”1 Chronicles 29:17. “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”Psalm 139:23, 24.32{OHC 142.4}[4]
