“因我们行事为人是凭着信心,不是凭着眼见”(林后5:7)。{UL 73.1}[1]

For we walk by faith, not by sight.2 Corinthians 5:7.{UL 73.1}[1]
举目向上看-第60章
你每步的路程都需要那生发仁爱以致洁净心灵的信心。这信心因圣善高贵的行为,就激发并提高心灵。这对于每位为获取永生而参加赛跑的人实属必要。它把心灵提拔到一种更清洁更高超的气氛中,使拥有这样信心的人有指望达到高而又高的成就,并清楚地看明放任自私人生的危害。要凭信心注视比自我更高的事物,看明参与上帝的圣工如何能获得可积存在上帝宝座旁边的财宝。毫无保留地将自己献给上帝所能获得的知识是何等的高深啊!主所要的乃是整个人,否则全都不要。我们不能用金钱买他的恩惠。他所要求的是将整个的心献给他。{UL 73.2}[2]

You need at every step the faith that works by love and purifies the soul. This faith quickens and uplifts the soul by the nobility of holy practice. It is essential to everyone who is running in the race for eternal life. It raises the soul into a purer, holier atmosphere, enabling its possessor to look forward to higher and still higher attainments and to discern clearly the dangers of a life of self-indulgence. Look by faith above yourself and see in the work of God the way to gain the riches that can be laid up beside the throne of God. O the height and depth of the knowledge that may be obtained by unreserved consecration to God. The Lord will have the whole man, or none at all. His favor cannot be purchased with gifts of money. He calls for the gift of the whole heart.{UL 73.2}[2]

我们还未全然归服上帝以前,并不须晓得如此行会得到的结果。我们也不须看明要走的道路,或将来要如何。有一件事我们确知,因有上帝亲口的话为凭——敬畏上帝行事公义的人,必蒙祂悦纳。我们确知这一点就足够了。要日复一日存怀谦卑悔悟的心,行在主的面前。你的命运全在乎自己所采的行动。“今日就可以选择所要侍奉的”(书24:15)。“若耶和华是上帝,就当顺从耶和华;若巴力是上帝,就当顺从巴力”(王上18:21)。或此或彼,总得作决定。“你们不能又侍奉上帝,又侍奉玛门”(路16:13)。你眼前的幸福和将来的好处,全在乎自己的选择。你若决意跟从耶稣,就必须顺从他的话:“若有人要跟从我,就当舍己,背起他的十字架,来跟从我”(太16:24)。{UL 73.3}[3]

It is not necessary for us to know the results of our course of action before we surrender wholly to God. We do not need to see the way, or to know what the future will be. One thing we do know, because God has said it—the man that fears God and works righteousness will be accepted by Him. This is enough for us to know. Day by day walk before the Lord in humility and contrition. Your future destiny depends on your own course of action. “Choose you this day whom ye will serve” (Joshua 24:15). “If the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him” (1 Kings 18:21). Be one thing or the other. “Ye cannot serve God and mammon” (Luke 16:13). Your present happiness and your future well-being depend on your own choice. If you choose to follow Jesus, you must obey the word, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me” (Matthew 16:24).{UL 73.3}[3]

凡吃上帝儿子的肉喝他血的人必得着永生——凭着祂口里所出的每一句话而生活为人。凡如此行的人就清楚地明白与基督合而为一的意义。{UL 73.4}[4]

Eternal life is for all who eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of God—living by every word that proceeds out of His mouth. Those who do this will gain a clear understanding of what it means to be one with Christ.{UL 73.4}[4]

“惟独从上头来的智慧,先是清洁,后是和平,温良柔顺,满有怜悯,多结善果,没有偏见,没有假冒。并且使人和平的,是用和平所栽种的义果”(雅3:17,18)。两个人或在外表上有相同的敬拜行为,但某一个人的服务若称在圣所的金天平里或会显出亏欠来,而另一人的服务或许要蒙悦纳。惟独凭谦卑温柔真心诚意而作的服务,才能蒙上帝的悦纳。(《信函》1903年39号,2月28日,致基督复临安息日会的一位商人){UL 73.5}[5]

“The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace” (James 3:17, 18). Two people may engage in the same acts of outward worship, yet the service of one, when weighed in the golden scales of the sanctuary, may be found wanting, while the service of the other may be accepted. Only the service that is performed in sincerity, with a humble, contrite heart, is acceptable to God.—Letter 39, February 28, 1903, to a Seventh-day Adventist businessman.{UL 73.5}[5]
