第9章 如果你犯了罪
§1
9.如果你犯了罪9.If You’ve Sinned
§2
上帝的慈心仍然惦念着那个径自离开祂的人。祂千方百计引导他返回父家。……上帝之爱的怜悯和慈悲，犹如一条金链，环绕着每一个处于险境的人。{COL 202.1}
§3
The love of God still yearns over the one who has chosen to separate from Him, and He sets in operation influences to bring him back to the Fathers house…A golden chain, the mercy and compassion of divine love, is passed around every imperiled soul.{COL
§4
我们应该总是谨记，我们都是犯错的凡人，而且基督向我们的软弱多施怜悯，虽然我们犯错，祂还是爱我们。{1T 383.1}
§5
We should ever bear in mind that we are all erring mortals, and that Christ exercises much pity for our weakness, and loves us although we err.{1T 383.1}
§6
我们有过失，有错误，不免经常在耶稣脚前俯伏哭泣。但我们不要因此而沮丧。即使我们被仇敌所胜，也不致被上帝抛弃拒绝。{SC 64.1}
§7
We shall often have to bow down and weep at the feet of Jesus because of our shortcomings and mistakes, but we are not to be discouraged…we are not cast off, not forsaken and rejected of God.{SC 64.1}
§8
藉着祷告，藉着学习祂的话，藉着相信祂时常的同在，最软弱的人也能在生活中与永活的基督联络；主必扶持他们，永不放手。{MH 182.1}
§9
By prayer, by the study of His word, by faith in His abiding presence, the weakest of human beings may live in contact with the living Christ, and He will hold them by a hand that will never let go. {MH 182.1}
§10
只要我们不与罪恶妥协，就没有任何世人或撒但的权势能使心灵沾染污秽。{MB 32.2}
§11
So long as we do not consent to sin, there is no power, whether human or satanic, that can bring a stain upon the soul. {MB 32.2}
§12
我们因信基督的义而有基督住在心里，这是抵抗罪恶的唯一保障。……我们也许可以除掉许多恶习，也可以暂时与撒但绝交。可是我们若不时刻献身与上帝，因而与祂有一种牢不可破的关系，就必被撒但所胜。我们若不亲自认识基督，与祂不断地来往，就必处在仇敌的权下，终究必照着他所吩咐的去行。{DA 324.1}
§13
The only defense against evil is the indwelling of Christ in the heart through faith in His righteousness…We may leave off many bad habits, for the time we may part company with Satan; but without a vital connection with God, through the surrender of ours
§14
如果每天与上帝交往的人走错了路，如果他一时没有注视耶稣，这不是故意犯罪；因为他一旦发现了自己的错误，就会回转，定睛仰望耶稣。虽然他做错了，却并不会减少上帝爱他的心。——{RH, May 12, 1896 par. 7}
§15
If one who daily communes with God errs from the path, if he turns a moment from looking steadfastly unto Jesus, it is not because he sins wilfully; for when he sees his mistake, he turns again, and fastens his eyes upon Jesus, and the fact that he has er
§16
如果我们因无知而走错了路，基督绝不会离弃我们。{COL 173.1}
§17
If in our ignorance we make missteps, Christ does not leave us. {COL 173.1}
§18
基督要拯救我们脱离罪恶。但祂并不勉强人的意志。如果我们坚持犯罪，思想完全倾向罪恶，不希望得自由，不愿意领受祂的恩典，祂还能为我们作什么呢？我们决意拒绝祂的爱，就是自取沉沦。{SC 34.2}
§19
Christ is ready to set us free from sin, but He does not force the will; and if by persistent transgression the will itself is wholly bent on evil, and we do not desire to be set free, if we will not accept His grace, what more can He do? We have destroye
§20
许多在生命的道路上行走的人，只看到自己的过错、失败和失望的事，心中充满了忧伤和沮丧。……收集以往生活中不愉快的回忆，乃是不智之举。把不平和失望的事说了又说，怨了又怨，直到灰心丧志，心灵漆黑一团，不但杜绝了上帝的光，还把阴影投在别人的道路上。{SC 116.3,117.3}
§21
Many, walking along the path of life, dwell upon their mistakes and failures and disappointments, and their hearts are filled with grief and discouragement…It is not wise to gather together all the unpleasant recollections of a past life,--its iniquities
