Representatives of God’s Government, September 15
§3
「所以，我亲爱的弟兄们，你们务要坚固，不可摇动，常常竭力多做主工，因为知道你们的劳苦，在主里面不是徒然的」（林前15：58）。{SD265.1}[1]
§4
Laborers Together With God in the Church
§5
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.?1 Corinthians 15:58.?{SD 265.1}[1]
§6
基督的教会应当纯洁干净，归上帝为圣。教会的成员要在世人面前作天上政权的代表。他们要从事慈善事业，直到世界的末了。{SD265.2}[2]
§7
The church of Christ is to be clean, pure, and sanctified unto God. Its members stand before the world as representatives of the heavenly government. They are embarked, so long as time shall last, upon an enterprise of mercy.?{SD 265.2}[2]
§8
上帝希望一切自称相信圣经真理的人都要宣扬真理。他们始终不渝的忠诚，必获得丰盛的报赏。「国度、权柄和天下诸国的大权，必赐给至高者的圣民」。{SD265.3}[3]
§9
It is God’s desire that all who profess to believe in the truth of His word shall make it known. Their persevering fidelity will be richly rewarded. “The kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High.”?{SD 265.3}[3]
§10
所以我们行善不可丧志。要让我们的心完全顺服那位伟大的医疗布道士所赐给我们的教训。我们传扬基督耶稣的知识的热心和能力，是与我们自己对这个信息的信心相称的。我们要成为「与上帝同工的，」「常常竭力多做主工」。{SD265.4}[4]
§11
Let us then not be weary in well-doing. Let us yield our hearts entirely to the teachings of the word of the great Medical Missionary. According to our own faith in the message will be our earnestness and our power in promoting the knowledge of Jesus Christ. We are to become “labourers together with God,” always “abounding in the work of the Lord.”?{SD 265.4}[4]
§12
我们每天都面对新的责任。一项任务的完成，只是另一项任务的开始。我们的人生要用在为主服务的严肃事业上。我们是主的仆人。基督教会的成员要成为终身服务的范例，完全顺服了我们伟大的榜样。每天将按照我们的能力有工作指派给我们。我们将在这种儆醒祈祷的服务中按照上帝的样式塑造的品格，祂上帝悦纳，使我们配进我们主救主耶稣基督永远的国度。{SD265.5}[5]
§13
Every day of our lives we face new obligations. The termination of one duty is the beginning of the next. Our lives are to be spent in solemn service for the Master. We are the Lord’s servants. The members of Christ’s church are to be examples of life-service, of complete obedience to our great Example. Every day our work will be appointed unto us according to our several ability. In prayerful, watchful service, we shall perfect characters after the divine similitude, characters with which God will be pleased, and that will fit us for an entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.34?{SD 265.5}[5]
§14
上帝等着要通过祂的子民彰显祂的恩典和能力。……我们每一个人都要与上帝同行共话；这样，基督福音神圣宝贵的感化力，就会显现在我们的生活之中。{SD265.6}[6]
§15
The Lord is waiting to manifest through His people His grace and power.... Individually we are to walk and talk with God; then the sacred influence of the gospel of Christ in all its preciousness will appear in our lives.35?{SD 265.6}[6]
