Salvation turns the soul completely around!
救恩使灵魂完全转向！
By nature, our course of life is wholly sinward.
就本性而言，我们的人生道路完全倾向罪恶。
Our every step is deviation from the ways of God.
我们的每一步都是偏离神的道路。
Our back is turned to heaven and spiritual realities.
我们背对天堂和属灵的现实。
This world, with . . .
its polluting pleasures,
its empty vanities,
its unsatisfying shadows,
its deceitful pomps and honors,
is sought with blinded zeal!
这个世界，以及它的…
污染人的享乐，
空虚的虚荣，
无法满足的虚影，
欺骗性的排场与荣誉，
都被我们以盲目的热忱所追求！
Our daily movement is a Hellward descent.
我们每天的动向都是在向地狱下沉。
2 Corinthians 5:17, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!”
哥林多后书5:17，”若有人在基督里，他就是新造的人，旧事已过，都变成新的了！”
But salvation turns the soul completely around!
但救恩使灵魂完全转向！
Objects we once shunned, are now desired.
我们曾经避开的事物，现在却渴望。
That which we now love, we once hated.
我们现在所爱的，我们曾经憎恨。
Our former pleasures retain no relish.
我们从前的快乐不再有滋味。
The mask which once hid the hideous features of the world, has fallen off its face!
曾经遮掩世界丑陋面目的面具，现在已经脱落！
The other lords which so long exercised dominion over us, are now renounced as cruel tyrants. Their yoke is broken, and their scepter is shattered!
长期统治我们的其他主人，现在被我们弃绝为残暴的暴君。他们的轭已经折断，他们的权杖已经粉碎！
“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory!” Colossians 3:1-4
“所以，你们若真与基督一同复活，就当求在上面的事；那里有基督坐在神的右边。你们要思念上面的事，不要思念地上的事。因为你们已经死了，你们的生命与基督一同藏在神里面。基督是我们的生命，他显现的时候，你们也要与他一同显现在荣耀里。”歌罗西书3:1-4
