8月27日 活的神學(xué)
應(yīng)當(dāng)趁著有光行走,免得黑暗臨到你們抵皱。(約十二35)
應(yīng)當(dāng)把你在山上與神同在時(shí)所見的活出來。你若不順從光辩蛋,光就會(huì)變成黑暗呻畸。“你里頭的光若黑暗了悼院,那黑暗是何等大呢伤为!”每當(dāng)你放開成圣的問題,或任何事上神給你的亮光樱蛤,你屬靈生命就開始陷入枯干腐爛之中钮呀。要不斷把真理活出來,在每一個(gè)范疇內(nèi)都要實(shí)行昨凡,否則你所得的光爽醋,反成了咒詛。
最難對付的人便脊,就是因過去的經(jīng)歷自滿自足蚂四,卻又沒有把經(jīng)歷付諸實(shí)行的人。你若說成圣了哪痰,就要表現(xiàn)出來遂赠。經(jīng)歷若是真的,就必然在生活中流露晌杰。當(dāng)心那些叫你自我放縱的信念跷睦,不論它們有多動(dòng)聽,都是從暗坑中出來的肋演。
神學(xué)必須在最實(shí)際的關(guān)系中表現(xiàn)出來抑诸。主說:“你們的義若不勝于文士和法利賽人的義……”那就是說,你必須比最具德行的人更有道德爹殊。你可以懂得一切成圣的教義蜕乡,但到底有沒有在生活上行出來?你生命的每一部分:身體梗夸、道德层玲、靈性,都要憑救贖的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)去審定。
祈禱主啊辛块,愿我“像一顆樹栽在溪水旁畔派,按時(shí)候結(jié)果子”。求你顯明這句話的真實(shí)憨降。
August 27? Theology Alive
“Walk while ye have the light lest darkness come upon you.” John 12:35
Beware of not acting upon what you see in your moments on the mount with God. If you do not obey the light, it will turn into darkness. “If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!” The second you waive the question of sanctification or any other thing upon which God gave you light, you begin to get dry rot in your spiritual life. Continually bring the truth out into actuality; work it out in every domain, or the very light you have will prove a curse.
The most difficult person to deal with is the one who has the smug satisfaction of an experience to which he can refer back, but who is not working it out in practical life. If you say you are sanctified, show it. The experience must be so genuine that it is shown in the life. Beware of any belief that makes you self-indulgent; it came from the pit, no matter how beautiful it sounds.
Theology must work itself out in the most practical relationships. “Except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees . . .” said Our Lord, i.e., you must be more moral than the most moral being you know. You may know all about the doctrine of sanctification, but are you running it out into the practical issues of your life? Every bit of your life, physical, moral and spiritual, is to be judged by the standard of the Atonement.
