In the book, Edwards discusses the nature of true Christian faith and scrutinizes the superficial belief in God.
在这本书中，爱德华兹讨论了真正的基督徒信仰的本质，并审视了对神肤浅的信仰。
He emphasizes that true Christian faith is not just intellectual assent but involves a heartfelt transformation, a genuine spiritual experience sparked by divine grace, leading to a life aligned with God’s will.
祂强调，真正的基督徒信仰不仅仅是理智上的认同（intellectual assent），而涉及发自内心的转变（heartfelt transformation），是一种由神圣恩典（divine grace）激发、真实的属灵经历，导向一种与神旨意（God’s will）一致的生活。
The treatise profoundly explores the essence of saving faith, distinguishing it from mere acknowledgment of religious truths, and underscores the necessity of a transformative encounter with the divine.
这篇论述深刻地探讨了救赎性信心（saving faith）的本质，将其与仅仅承认宗教真理区分开来，并强调了与神（the divine）进行转变性相遇的必要性。
Three key lessons from the book include:
本书的三个关键教导包括：
True Faith vs. Demonic Belief: Edwards emphasizes that true faith in Christ involves more than mere belief in God’s existence, a belief that even demons possess. It’s about a transformative relationship with God.
真信心对比魔鬼的信仰：爱德华兹强调，对基督的真信心所包含的不仅仅是对神存在的相信，这种相信甚至连魔鬼也拥有。它是关于一种与神之间具有转变性的关系。
Divine Gift of Faith: Faith is not self-generated but a divine gift. It’s through the Holy Spirit’s intervention that one’s heart is turned towards God, distinguishing genuine faith from mere acknowledgment of religious truths.
信心的神圣恩赐：信心不是自行产生的，而是神圣的恩赐。正是通过圣灵（Holy Spirit）的干预，人的心才转向神，从而将真实的信心与仅仅承认宗教真理区分开来。
Transformative Power of Faith: Genuine faith fundamentally transforms the heart and aligns one’s life with God’s will. This transformation is not just about resisting sin but about embracing a life of service, love, and holiness.
信心的转变能力：真实的信心从根本上转变人心，并使人的生命与神的旨意（God’s will）一致。这种转变不仅仅是关于抵制罪恶，而是关于拥抱一种事奉、爱和圣洁的生活。
Edwards articulates these points to delineate the real essence of Christian faith, distinguishing it from mere intellectual agreement or fleeting emotional experiences.
爱德华兹阐明这些观点，是为了描绘基督徒信仰的真正本质，将其与仅仅是理智上的赞同或短暂的情感经历区分开来。
