The Bible, the Word of God!
圣经，神的话语！
(John Mason’s Spiritual Sayings)
(约翰·梅森属灵箴言)
The Word of God must be . . .
神的话语必须…
nearer to us than our friends,
比我们的朋友更亲近，
dearer to us than our lives,
比我们的生命更宝贵，
sweeter to us than our liberty, and
比我们的自由更甘甜，
pleasanter to us than all earthly comforts.
比所有世俗的安慰更令人愉悦。
Take the candle of God’s Word and search the corners of your heart.
拿着神话语的明灯，搜寻你内心的每个角落。
We speak to God in prayer.
我们在祷告中向神说话。
God speaks to us in His Word.
神在祂的话语中向我们说话。
All arguments against the Word of God are fallacies;
所有反对神话语的论据都是谬误；
all ideas against the Word are delusions;
所有反对圣道的想法都是幻觉；
all derision against the Word is folly; and
所有对圣道的嘲笑都是愚昧；
all opposition against the Word is madness.
所有对圣道的抵挡都是疯狂。
When God threatens, that’s a time to repent;
当神发出警告时，那就是悔改的时候；
when He promises, that’s a time to believe;
当祂应许时，那就是相信的时候；
when He commands, that’s a time to obey.
当祂命令时，那就是顺服的时候。
If a man believed the threatenings of the Word of God,
如果人真相信神话语中的警告，
he would tremble and fly to the promises for refuge.
他就会战战兢兢，奔向应许寻求庇护。
As Christ came out of His Father’s bosom, so
正如基督从父怀中而来，
the promises came out of Christ’s riven side.
应许也从基督裂开的肋旁流出。
