我眷顧他,為要叫他吩咐他的眾子,和他的眷屬,遵守我的道,秉公行義,使我所應許亞伯拉罕的話都成就了。(創18:19)
For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him." (Gen.18:19)
人是一種有很有才能的受造物,弄出了三千兩百六十萬條律法,卻至今尚未在遵行十誡上有進展。
Man is an able creature, but he has made 32,600,000 laws and hasn’t yet improved on the Ten Commandments.
司布真說:
基督徒活在世上,但不屬於這世界。他必須在生命與生活的大目標上,與世界有別;他或吃或喝或行事為人,都要為榮耀神而做。
你可以積攢錢財,但應該積在天上;你可以追求富足,但追求的是在信心與善事上富足;你可以歡樂,但當你歡樂時,你會向主唱詩歌頌。
你會常謙卑等候神,去意識到神的同在,在與祂相交中喜樂,尋求明白祂的旨意;這樣你能證明,你是屬天的族類。
你也要在行動上與世界有分別。如果一件事是對的,但去做它會使你有損失,你仍然會去做;如果一件事是錯的,但你做它會得利益,你仍然會為主的名斥責其罪。
