    “The Temple” by Thomas Adams is a profound and enlightening work that explores the concept of the spiritual temple within every Christian.
    汤玛斯·亚当斯(Thomas Adams)的《圣殿》(The Temple)是一部深刻而发人深省的作品,该书探讨了每位基督徒内在属灵圣殿的概念。

    Originally preached as a sermon at St. Paul’s Cathedral in 1624, Adams explores the intricate symbolism of the temple, drawing parallels between the physical structure of the temple and the inner sanctuary of the believer’s heart.
    此书最初于1624年在圣保罗大教堂(St. Paul’s Cathedral)作为布道所讲,亚当斯详细剖析了圣殿的精密象征意义,将圣殿的物质结构与信徒内心的圣所作了类比。

    The book takes readers on a thought-provoking journey through the various chambers of the temple, each representing different aspects of the Christian faith and life.
    该书带领读者踏上一段发人深省的旅程,穿越圣殿的各个殿室,每一殿室都代表了基督信仰与生命的不同方面。

    From the Porch, symbolizing the importance of controlling one’s speech, to the Holy Place, where divine graces and virtues reside, and finally to the Holy of holies, the purified conscience and intimate dwelling place of God, Adams elucidates the significance of each component in relation to one’s spiritual journey.
    从“廊”(Porch)象征管控言语之重要性,到“圣所”(Holy Place)安放属天恩典与美德之处,再到“至圣所”(Holy of holies),即洁净的良心与神亲密居所,亚当斯详细阐明了每一组成部分在属灵旅程中的意义。

    Adams warns against the presence of idols that can defile the temple, be it lust, inordinate affections, or self-worship.
    亚当斯警告人要提防那些玷污圣殿的偶像,无论是情欲、不当的情感还是自我崇拜。

    He emphasizes that the temple of God cannot coexist with such uncleanliness and urges readers to cleanse their hearts of these idols.
    他强调神的殿不能与这些污秽共存,并敦促读者洁净己心,除去这些偶像。

    In addition, the book reflects on the need for gratitude and thankfulness for God’s deliverance and encourages readers to rejoice in their own spiritual and temporal blessings.
    此外,该书也反思了对神拯救之恩心怀感激与感谢的必要性,并鼓励读者因属灵与世上的祝福而欢欣。

    He reminds us that a true temple of God must exhibit holiness, prayerfulness, and a commitment to serving others.
    他提醒我们,真正的神的殿必须彰显圣洁、祷告的心志,并致力于侍奉他人。

    “The Temple” is a timeless work that challenges and inspires readers to examine their own spiritual lives, to purge their hearts of idols, and to cultivate a deeper connection with God.
    《圣殿》是一部超越时间的作品,它挑战并激励读者审视自己的属灵生命,清除心中的偶像,并培养与神更深的联结。

    Thomas Adams’ words continue to resonate today, offering wisdom, guidance, and an invitation to dwell in the presence of the divine.
    汤玛斯·亚当斯的言语至今仍历久弥新,为我们提供智慧、指引,并邀请我们住在神的同在之中。
