从心出发-第321章
“所以,我们作基督的使者”(林后5:20)。[1]{FH 333.1}
从心出发-第321章
Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ.2 Corinthians 5:20.{FH 333.1}[1]
从心出发-第321章
自称属上帝的教会可能拥有财富、教育和真道的知识。她的态度是在说:“我是富足,已经发了财,一样都不缺”(启3:17)。但教会的信徒若缺乏内在的圣洁,就不能作世上的光。教会当将亮光反照在世界的道德黑暗中,就象众星将亮光反照在夜间的黑暗中一样。这些有敬虔的外貌却背了敬虔的实意的人不将亮光反照在世上,也不会有能力感动未得救之人的心。他们既与基督没有生命的联络,就不能使真理的价值在世上显出善果。但基督若是在他们心里成了荣耀的盼望,祂救人的恩典就会在对将亡生灵的同情与仁爱中表现出来。[2]{FH 333.2}
从心出发-第321章
The professed church of God may be possessed of wealth, education, and knowledge of doctrine, and may say by her attitude, “I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing”; but if its members are devoid of inward holiness, they cannot be the light of the world. The church is to reflect light into the moral darkness of the world as the stars reflect light into the darkness of the night. These who have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof do not reflect light into the world and will not have power to reach the hearts of the unsaved. Without vital connection with Christ the value of truth cannot be made to appear in good fruit in the world; but if Christ is formed within, the hope of glory, His saving grace will be manifested in sympathy and love for perishing souls.{FH 333.2}[2]
从心出发-第321章
每一个真心皈依上帝的人必是世上的光。来自公义日头的清晰明亮的光线会通过那些使用受托之才能行善的人照耀出来。因为他们会与天上的媒介合作并与基督同工使人悔改。他们愿意分散基督照在他们身上的亮光。那在他们心中照耀的公义的日头会照耀、启迪并造福他人。[3]{FH 333.3}
从心出发-第321章
Every soul truly converted to God will be a light in the world. Bright, clear rays from the Sun of Righteousness will shine forth through human agents who use their entrusted ability to do good; for they will cooperate with heavenly agencies and labor with Christ for the conversion of souls. They will diffuse the light which Christ sheds upon them. The Sun of Righteousness shining in their hearts will shine forth, enlightening and blessing others.{FH 333.3}[3]
从心出发-第321章
从人身上照耀出来的天上光芒,会发挥一种影响力,折服基督正在吸引归祂自己的人。教会的信徒若不表显出力量帮助将亡的人悔改,他们在天使面前就是软弱的。教会若不是世上的光,就是黑暗的。但是经上论到跟从基督之人说:“因为我们是与上帝同工的;你们是上帝所耕种的田地,所建造的房屋”(林前3:9)。[4]{FH 333.4}
从心出发-第321章
The rays of heaven shining from human agents will exert a subduing influence upon those whom Christ is drawing to Himself. The church is weak before the angels of heaven unless power is revealed through its members for the conversion of those who are perishing. Unless the church is the light of the world, it is darkness. But of the true followers of Christ it is written, “We are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.”{FH 333.4}[4]
从心出发-第321章
教会可能由贫穷且没有受过教育的人组成。但如果他们向基督学过祷告的学问,教会就有力量移动全能者的膀臂。上帝的真子民将会有感化人心的影响力。教会信徒的效能并不在于他们所拥有的财富或受过教育的才干。……当公义日头的光线从上帝的子民身上照耀出来时,基督就得到荣耀,祂的国度就得到推进。那时他们才是所拣选救人的器皿,合乎主用。——《时兆》,1893年9月11日。[5]{FH 333.5}
从心出发-第321章
The church may be composed of those who are poor and uneducated; but if they have learned of Christ the science of prayer, the church will have power to move the arm of Omnipotence. The true people of God will have an influence that will tell upon hearts. It is not the wealth or the educated ability which the members of the church may possess that constitutes their efficiency.... It is when the Sun of Righteousness shines forth from the people of God that Christ is glorified and His kingdom advanced. It is then that they are chosen vessels of salvation and are fitted for the Master’s use.—Signs of the Times, September 11, 1893.{FH 333.5}[5]
