Make Your Calling and Election Sure, March 9
崇高的恩召-第69章
“你们若充充足足地有这几样,就必使你们在认识我们的主耶稣基督上,不至于闲懒不结果子了”(彼后1:8)。{OHC 74.1}[1]
崇高的恩召-第69章
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.2 Peter 1:8.{OHC 74.1}[1]
崇高的恩召-第69章
基督徒的唯一保障,就是努力不倦地实行加法的计划。使徒指出这样做的好处。对于那些恩上加恩的人,上帝会实施乘法的计划,使各样美德注入并充实他的宗教生活。他就“不至于闲懒不结果子了。……”凡在基督徒美德上充足的人,在一切实际的基督教生活中必然是热忱、有生机、有活力的,并且实行公义──犹如枝子常在葡萄树干上,会结出大量的葡萄。……{OHC 74.2}[2]
崇高的恩召-第69章
The only safety for the Christian is to be unwearied in his efforts to live on the plan of addition. The apostle shows the advantages to be gained in thus doing. For those who add grace to grace, God will work on the plan of multiplication, so that the graces will be in and abound in the religious life and he will not “be barren nor unfruitful....” Those abounding in the Christian graces will be zealous, lively, vigorous in all practical Christianity, and will practice righteousness—just as the branch abiding in the vine will produce the same fruit that the vine bears....{OHC 74.2}[2]
崇高的恩召-第69章
凡不攀登上进的阶梯而恩上加恩的人,“就是眼瞎,只看见近处的。”他没有发现自己若不循规蹈矩、逐级攀登这梯子,在恩典和认识我们主耶稣基督的事上长进,就是没有处身在上帝能从梯顶光照到他的位置上。他既没有恩上加恩,就忘记了上帝对他的要求,并忘记了他的罪得蒙赦免,乃在于顺从上帝的要求。……{OHC 74.3}[3]
崇高的恩召-第69章
He who does not climb the ladder of progress and add grace to grace “is blind, and cannot see afar off.” He fails to discern that without taking these successive steps in ascending the ladder round after round, in growing in grace and the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, he is not placing himself in a position where the light of God above the ladder is reflected upon him. As he does not add grace to grace, he has forgotten the claims of God upon him, and that he was to receive the forgiveness of sins through obedience to the requirements of God....{OHC 74.3}[3]
崇高的恩召-第69章
“所以弟兄们,应当更加殷勤,使你们所蒙的恩召和拣选坚定不移”(彼后1:10)。我们无需依仗虚幻的指望,而是有可靠的保证。要使我们所蒙的恩召和拣选坚定不移,就必须顺从圣经的计划,仔细地省察自己,严格检讨自己是否真正悔改了,我们的思想是否不住地向往上帝和属天的事物,我们的意志有没有更新,我们的整个心灵有没有改变。要使我们所蒙的恩召和拣选坚定不移,对于这件大事就必须奉献出比许多人更多的殷勤。“你们若行这几样”──实行加法的计划,在恩典和认识我们主耶稣基督的事上长进──你们就一级一级地攀登雅各所看见的梯子,“永不失脚”。(MS.1884.13){OHC 74.4}[4]
崇高的恩召-第69章
“Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure.”2 Peter 1:10. We need not have a supposed hope, but an assurance. To make our calling and election sure is to follow the Bible plan to closely examine ourselves, to make strict inquiry whether we are indeed converted, whether our minds are drawn out after God and heavenly things, our wills renewed, our whole souls changed. To make our calling and election sure requires far greater diligence than many are giving to this important matter. “For if ye do these things”—live on the plan of addition, growing in grace and the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ—ye shall mount up, step by step, the ladder Jacob saw, and “ye shall never fall.”9{OHC 74.4}[4]
