The love of the truth
真理的爱
(J. C. Philpot, “The Valley of Achor” 1861)
(J. C. 菲尔波特,《亚割谷》1861年)
“They perish because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” 2 Thess. 2:10
“他们灭亡是因为他们不领受真理的爱,使他们可以得救。”帖撒罗尼迦后书2:10
There is a receiving of ‘the truth’, and a receiving of ‘the love of the truth’.
有一种接受’真理’的方式,也有一种接受’真理之爱’的方式。
These two things widely differ.
这两种方式有很大的区别。
To receive the truth will not necessarily save; for many who receive the truth, never receive ‘the love of the truth’.
接受真理并不一定能得救;因为许多接受真理的人,从未接受过’真理之爱’。
Professors by thousands receive the truth into their judgment, and adopt the plan of salvation as their creed; but are neither saved nor sanctified thereby.
成千上万的教授们在判断中接受真理,并将救恩计划作为他们的信条;但他们既没有得救,也没有因此成圣。
But to receive ‘the love of the truth’ by Jesus being made sweet and precious to the soul, is to receive salvation itself.
但通过耶稣使灵魂感到甘甜和宝贵而接受’真理之爱’,就是接受救恩本身。
“Yes, He is very precious to you who believe.” 1 Peter 2:7
“是的,他对你们信的人是宝贵的。”彼得前书2:7
