A comfort to the believer, and a terror to the unbeliever!
对信徒是安慰,对不信者是恐惧!
(R.C. Sproul)
(史普罗)
“His eyes are on the ways of men; He sees their every step!” Job 34:21
“祂的眼目察看人的道路,看见人的一切脚步!”约伯记34:21
“The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.” Proverbs 15:3
“耶和华的眼目无处不在,恶人善人祂都鉴察。”箴言15:3
“Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him?” declares the LORD. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” Jeremiah 23:24
“人岂能在隐密处藏身,使我看不见他呢?”耶和华说:”我岂不充满天地吗?”耶利米书23:24
The doctrine of God’s omnipresence appropriately fills us with awe.
上帝无所不在的教义恰当地使我们充满敬畏。
In addition, the doctrine also proves to be comforting. We can always be certain of God’s undivided attention. We don’t ever need to stand in line or make an appointment to be with God. When we are in God’s presence, He is not preoccupied with events on the other side of the world.
此外,这教义也被证明是安慰人的。我们始终可以确信得到上帝专注的关注。我们永远不需要排队或预约才能与上帝同在。当我们在上帝面前时,祂并不会被世界另一端的事务分心。
The doctrine is, of course, not at all comforting to the unbeliever. There is no place to hide from God! There is no corner of the universe where God is not. The wicked in Hell are not separated from God-only from His benevolence. His wrath is with them constantly.
当然,这教义对不信的人来说一点也不安慰。没有地方可以躲避上帝!宇宙中没有任何角落是上帝不在的。在地狱中的恶人并非与上帝隔绝——只是与祂的仁慈隔绝。祂的愤怒常与他们同在。
For the unbeliever, the doctrine highlights the fact that people cannot hide from God. Their sins are done in God’s presence. Like Adam, they seek to hide. However, there is no corner of the universe that God’s gaze, either in love or wrath, fails to reach.
对不信的人来说,这教义突显了人无法躲避上帝的事实。他们的罪是在上帝面前犯的。像亚当一样,他们试图躲藏。然而,宇宙中没有任何角落能躲过上帝的注视,无论是祂的慈爱还是愤怒。
God’s omnipresence is a comfort to the believer, and a terror to the unbeliever!
上帝的无所不在对信徒是安慰,对不信者是恐惧!
“Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” Hebrews 4:13
“被造的没有一样在祂面前不显然的,原来万物在那与我们有关系的主眼前,都是赤露敞开的。”希伯来书4:13
