“饥渴慕义的人有福了,因为他们必得饱足”(太5:6)。{UL 284.1}[1]

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.Matthew 5:6.{UL 284.1}[1]

基督在山边宝训中给出了真成圣的定义。祂过了圣洁的一生。祂是跟从祂之人的实际榜样。我们要与基督同钉十字架,与祂同埋葬,然后靠着祂的灵复苏。于是我们就充满祂的生命。{UL 284.2}[2]

In the Sermon on the Mount, Christ has given a definition of true sanctification. He lived a life of holiness. He was an object lesson of what His followers are to be. We are to be crucified with Christ, buried with Him, and then quickened by His Spirit. Then we are filled with His life.{UL 284.2}[2]

上帝对待我们一切事的目的是使我们成圣。祂从亘古就拣选了我们,要使我们成圣。基督为救赎我们献上了自己,使我们因信祂拯救我们脱离罪恶的能力,就得以在祂里面成为完全。祂赐给我们祂的圣言,乃是赐给我们天上的粮。祂宣告说,我们若吃祂的肉喝祂的血,就可得永生。我们为何不多思想这事呢?这圣言既有如此重大的意义,我们为何不力图使之容易理解呢?基督徒为何不张开眼睛看明上帝要他们作的工呢?成圣是毕生进步的工作。主宣布:“上帝的旨意就是要你们成为圣洁”(帖前4:3)。你们是否有志使自己的愿望和爱好都符合神圣的旨意呢?{UL 284.3}[3]

Our sanctification is God’s object in all His dealing with us. He has chosen us from eternity that we may be holy. Christ gave Himself for our redemption, that through our faith in His power to save from sin, we might be made complete in Him. In giving us His Word, He has given us bread from heaven. He declares that, if we eat His flesh and drink His blood, we shall receive eternal life. Why do we not dwell more upon this? Why do we not strive to make it easily understood, when it means so much? Why do not Christians open their eyes to see the work God requires them to do? Sanctification is the progressive work of a lifetime. The Lord declares, “This is the will of God, even your sanctification” (1 Thessalonians 4:3). Is it your will that your desires and inclinations shall be brought into conformity to the divine will?{UL 284.3}[3]

我们身为基督徒,已经许了愿要认明并履行自己的责任,向世人证明我们与上帝有密切的联络。这样,藉着祂门徒虔诚的言行,就将基督表现出来。{UL 284.4}[4]

As Christians, we have pledged ourselves to realize and fulfill our responsibilities, and to show to the world that we have a close connection with God. Thus, through the godly words and works of His disciples, Christ is to be represented.{UL 284.4}[4]

上帝要求我们全然遵守祂的律法──这律法乃是祂品格的表现。“我们因信废了律法吗?断乎不是,更是坚固律法”(罗3:31)。律法乃是上帝声音的回响,对我们说:“要更加圣洁,是,要更加圣洁。”{UL 284.5}[5]

God demands of us perfect obedience to His law—the expression of His character. “Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law” (Romans 3:31). This law is the echo of God’s voice, saying to us, “Holier, yes, holier still.”{UL 284.5}[5]

当切望基督丰盛的恩惠;不错,要饥渴慕义。有应许说:“你们必得饱足。”要让你们的心充满了对这公义的热诚向往,上帝圣言宣布这公义的果效必是平安,它的效验必是平稳,直到永远(赛32:17)。{UL 284.6}[6]
举目向上看-第271章
Desire the fullness of the grace of Christ; yea, long—hunger and thirst—after righteousness. The promise is, “Ye?shall?be filled.” Let your heart be filled with an intense longing for this righteousness, the work of which God’s Word declares is peace, and its effect, quietness and assurance forever.{UL 284.6}[6]

我们有权利与上帝的性情有分,脱离世上从情欲来的败坏。上帝明言祂要求我们成为完全,而且因祂有这要求,祂也有了预备使我们可以与上帝的性情有分。惟独如此我们寻求永生的努力才能获致成功。权柄是基督所赐予的。“凡接待祂的,……祂就赐他们权柄,作上帝的儿女”(约1:12)。(《信函》1902年第153号,9月27日,致赫斯格夫妇){UL 284.7}[7]
举目向上看-第271章
It is our privilege to be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. God has plainly stated that He requires us to be perfect; and because He requires this, He has made provision that we may be partakers of the divine nature. Only thus can we gain success in our striving for eternal life. The power is given by Christ. “As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God” (John 1:12).—Letter 153, September 27, 1902, to Brother and Sister S. N. Haskell.{UL 284.7}[7]
