109 振作

將肢體獻給義作奴僕,以至於成聖。(羅六19

我不能救自己,叫自己成聖,也不能贖罪;我不能救贖世界,把歪的弄直,把不純的變為純淨,把不潔的變為聖潔。這完全是神至高無上的作為。我對主耶穌成就的一切,有沒有信心呢?他成就完全的救恩,我有沒有時刻謹記?最重要的不是作什麼,而是相信。基督的救贖不是一個經驗,乃是神透過基督成就的大作為,我要把信心建基其上。若我的信心寄託在自己的經歷上,就產生最不合聖經的模式--一個孤立的生命,因為我只注視自身的潔白。要提防那種不以主的救贖為根基的敬虔,這生命毫無用處,只是避世的退隱,對神無用處,對人也無裨益。要以主耶穌來衡量每一種經歷。除非我們把所有事物建基在主的救贖上,否則一切所作的都不能討神喜悅。

主耶穌的救贖必須在我的生活上產生實際自然的功效。每次我順服,神就在我這一方,他的恩典與我天性的順服就契合為一了。順服就是把一切都投在主的救贖上,於是就立即得著神恩典的悅納。

提防那些否定天然人性的敬虔自守,因這只是個假殼。要經常去到救贖的案前,問自己:在這件或那件事上,(在我身上的)救贖大工有被顯明出來嗎?

祈禱◆主啊,我來到你的面前,求你自己像一團火那樣四面護衛我,而你的榮耀就在其中。這個祈求聽起來全屬自私,可是,我卻不懂得用別的方法來表達。噢,主啊,你是最清楚知道的。


October 9 Pull Yourself Together

Yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.” Romans 6:13-22

I cannot save and sanctify myself; I cannot atone for sin; I cannot redeem the world; I can not make right what is wrong, pure what is impure, holy what is unholy. That is all the sovereign work of God. Have I faith in what Jesus Christ has done? He has made a perfect Atonement, am I in the habit of constantly realizing it? The great need is not to do things, but to believe things. The Redemption of Christ is not an experience, it is the great act of God which He has performed through Christ, and I have to build my faith upon it. If I construct my faith on my experience, I produce that most unscriptural type, an isolated life, my eyes fixed on my own whiteness. Beware of the piety that has no pre-supposition in the Atonement of the Lord. It is of no use for anything but a sequestered life; it is useless to God and a nuisance to man. Measure every type of experience by our Lord Himself. We cannot do anything pleasing to God unless we deliberately build on the pre-supposition of the Atonement.

The Atonement of Jesus has to work out in practical, unobtrusive ways in my life. Every time I obey, absolute Deity is on my side, so that the grace of God and natural obedience coincide. Obedience means that I have banked everything on the Atonement, and my obedience is met immediately by the delight of the supernatural grace of God.

Beware of the piety that denies the natural life, it is a fraud. Continually bring yourself to the bar of the Atonement – where is the discernment of the Atonement in this thing, and in that?
