“祢的话是我脚前的灯,是我路上的光”(诗119:105)。{FH.37.1}
我有主所赐明确的信息要传给自称相信现代真理的人。……{FH.37.2}
圣经是上帝向祂子民说话的声音。我们在研究这活泼的圣言时,要记住上帝正在借着祂的圣言向祂的子民说话。我们要使这道成为我们的顾问。……我们若认识到查考圣经的重要性,就会何等殷勤地研究圣经啊!……我们就会把圣经当作上帝对我们的旨意的确据来阅读研究。{FH.37.3}
要以特别的兴趣来研究圣经,因为它包含有限人类所能拥有的最有价值的信息,指出了道路,使我们能为人子在天云中降临作准备,抛弃罪恶,穿上品格的白袍,进入基督对门徒说祂去为他们预备的地方。……{FH.37.4}
我们若不接受上帝的道为心灵的食粮,就会错过为人预备好的最大财宝,因为圣经乃是给每一个人的信息。……若是顺从这道,就使人有属灵的生命和力量。在活泼的经验中进入生命的纯洁属灵之流,对于接受者来说乃是永生。{FH.37.5}
上帝的圣言是我们的光,是基督给予祂产业的信息,这产业是祂用自己的血为代价买来的。圣经是为指导我们而写的。我们若以此圣言为我们的顾问,就决不会走入歧途。……
属灵的生命是由供应心灵的食粮建造的。我们若吃上帝的圣言所提供的食物,就必得到属灵和心智上的健康。……{FH.37.6}
我们各人正在决定自己永远的命运。能否承受永生,全在乎我们自己。我们是否要实践上帝的圣言即基督伟大的课本所给我们的教训呢?圣经是提供给人类的最伟大,最简洁,最易懂的书。惟有这本书能预备人享受可与上帝的生命相比的生命。——《评论与通讯》,1906年3月22日。{FH.37.7}
God’s Word Our Light, January 25
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.?Psalm 119:105.?{FH 37.1}[1]
I have a decided message from the Lord for the people who claim to believe the truth for this time....?{FH 37.2}[2]
The Bible is the voice of God to His people. As we study the living oracles, we are to remember that God is speaking to His people out of His Word. We are to make this Word the man of our counsel.... If we realized the importance of searching the Scriptures, how much more diligently we would study them! ... The Scriptures would be read and studied as the sure evidence of God’s will concerning us.?{FH 37.3}[3]
The Bible is to be studied with special interest, for it contains the most valuable information that finite beings can have, pointing out the way in which we are to prepare for the coming of the Son of man in the clouds of heaven, putting away sin, and putting on the white robes of character that will give us entrance into the mansions that Christ told His disciples He was going to prepare for them....?{FH 37.4}[4]
If we do not receive the Word of God as food for the soul, we shall miss the greatest treasure that has been prepared for men and women, for the Word is a message to each and every soul.... If obeyed, it gives spiritual life and strength. The pure, spiritual current that enters the life in a living experience is eternal life to the receiver.?{FH 37.5}[5]
God’s Word is our light. It is Christ’s message to His heritage, who have been bought with the price of His blood. It was written for our guidance, and if we make this Word our counselor, we shall never walk in strange paths....?{FH 37.6}[6]
The spiritual life is built up from the food given to the mind, and if we eat the food provided in the Word of God, spiritual and mental health will be the result....?{FH 37.7}[7]
We are each deciding our eternal destiny, and it rests wholly with us whether we shall gain eternal life. Shall we live the lessons given in the Word of God, Christ’s great lesson book? It is the grandest and yet most simply arranged and easily understood study book ever provided for human beings. It is the only book that will prepare men and women for the life that measures with the life of God.—The Review and Herald, March 22, 1906.?{FH 37.8}[8]
