奋斗与勇敢-第20章
(创4:1-5)
“耶和华看中了亚伯和他的供物,只是看不中该隐和他的供物。该隐就大大的发怒,变了脸色”(创4:4,5)。{CC 25.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第20章
Genesis 4:1-5[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第20章
该隐来到上帝的面前,对于所应许的牺牲和必须奉献的赎罪祭心中怀着埋怨和不信。他的祭物并没有悔罪的表示。他象现今的许多人一样,觉着如果完全依着上帝所设立的计划,让他的得救问题完全依赖所应许之救主的赎罪,就是承认自己的软弱。他拣选了依靠自己的道路。他要依仗着自己的功德。他不愿意带来羔羊,把羔羊的血搀在他的祭物中,而要献上他自己的果子,就是他亲手劳动得来的产品。他奉献祭物好象是为上帝作一件好事,希望藉此得到上帝的悦纳。该隐在建筑祭坛和奉献祭物上虽然都已顺从,但他的顺从只是局部的。至于必要的一部分,就是承认自己需要一位救赎主,他却没有实行。……{CC 25.2}[2]

And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering: but unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. Genesis 4:4, 5. {CC 25.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第20章
该隐和亚伯代表世上的两等人。这两等人必要继续存在,直到末时。一等人接受上帝所指定的赎罪祭;另一等人想要依靠自己的功德。他们的祭物缺少了基督为人作中保的功劳,故此不足以使人蒙上帝的悦纳。我们的过犯所以能蒙赦免,乃是靠着耶稣的功劳。……{CC 25.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第20章
Cain came before God with murmuring and infidelity in his heart in regard to the promised sacrifice and the necessity of the sacrificial offerings. His gift expressed no penitence for sin. He felt, as many now feel, that it would be an acknowledgement of weakness to follow the exact plan marked out by God, of trusting his salvation wholly to the atonement of the promised Saviour. He chose the course of self-dependence. He would come in his own merits. He would not bring the lamb, and mingle its blood with his offering, but would present his fruits, the products of his labor. He presented his offering as a favor done to God, through which he expected to secure the divine approval. Cain obeyed in building an altar, obeyed in bringing a sacrifice, but he rendered only a partial obedience. The essential part, the recognition of the need of a Redeemer, was left out.... {CC 25.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第20章
有人主张人类所需要的不是救赎,乃是发展,就是说,人类能陶冶,提高,并更新自己。该隐怎样设法用没有血的祭物求得上帝的喜悦,这些人也这样希望不靠救赎的计划而能把人类提高到上帝的标准。该隐的历史说明其结果如何。它说明人类离了基督,将要走到什么地步。人类并没有能力来更新自己。人类不是向上而迎合上帝标准的,乃是向下倾于撒但精神的。基督是我们惟一的希望。“除祂以外,别无拯救。因为在天下人间,没有赐下别的名,我们可以靠着得救”(徒4:12)。(PP72,73){CC 25.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第20章
Cain and Abel represent two classes that will exist in the world till the close of time. One class avail themselves of the appointed sacrifice for sin; the other venture to depend upon their own merits; theirs is a sacrifice without the virtue of divine mediation, and thus it is not able to bring man into favor with God. It is only through the merits of Jesus that our transgressions can be pardoned.... {CC 25.3}[4]
