“你暂且去吧，等我得便再叫你来”（徒24:25）。{FH.63.1}
我们无论怎样罪孽深重，身处何种境遇，只要我们愿意悔改相信，来到基督面前，信赖祂为我们个人的救主，我们仍可被拯救到底。然而一个知道真理，却缓于实行真理之人的处境是多么危险啊！人们寻求娱乐自己，满足口味，屈从肉体，疏忽已经显明的本分，随便探究某种他们所不认识的东西，是多么危险啊。……{FH.63.2}
耶稣说：“应当趁着有光行走，免得黑暗临到你们”（约12:35）。……要实行向你显示的每一条真理的教训，靠着上帝口里所出的一切话生活，然后你就会跟从耶稣了，无论祂去哪里。……主并未拒绝赐祂的圣灵给凡求祂的人。当良心受感信服时，为何不聆听，不留心上帝之灵的声音呢？因每一次的犹豫与拖延，我们都使自己置身于越来越难以接受属天亮光的处境，最终似乎不可能被告诫和警告所打动了。于是罪人愈来愈容易说：“你暂且去吧！等我得便再叫你来”（徒24:25）。……{FH.63.3}
当初拖延犹豫，抵制亮光和一切知识的人，本有良好的愿望，想在得便时改弦更张。但狡猾的仇敌正在他们的路上，设法用不易察觉之恶习的绳索捆绑他们。品格是由习惯形成的，在下坡路上走一步就是为走第二步做好了准备，第二步又为以后的步伐作了准备。……{FH.63.4}
上帝的儿女要在弯曲悖谬的世代中如明光照耀。但他们若不养成正确的习惯，就会让步于本性的倾向，会变得自足自恃，自我放纵，轻率莽撞，贪婪，报复，不受约束，任性固执，盛气凌人，心骄气傲，爱宴乐不爱上帝。……{FH.63.5}
但以理的品格说明罪人靠着基督的恩典能达到何种境界。他的智力和灵力是坚强的。……圣灵要在我们里面作一位神圣的居住者。所以我们心中要对上帝充满感恩与爱。——《评论与通讯》，1897年6月29日。{FH.63.6}
Dare to Be a Daniel, February 20
Go away for now; when I have a convenient time I will call for you.?Acts 24:25.?{FH 63.1}[1]
No matter how sinful we have been, no matter what our position may be, if we will repent and believe, coming unto Christ, and trusting Him as our personal Savior, we may be saved to the uttermost. But how dangerous is the position of the one who knows truth but delays to practice it. How perilous it is for men and women to seek to amuse the mind, to gratify the taste and satisfy the reason, by neglecting what has been revealed as duty, and rambling off in search of something they do not know....?{FH 63.2}[2]
Jesus says, “Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you.” ... Practice every precept of truth presented to you. Live by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God, and you will then follow Jesus wherever He goeth.... The Lord does not refuse to give His Holy Spirit to them that ask Him. When conviction comes home to the conscience, why not listen, and heed the voice of the Spirit of God? By every hesitation and delay we place ourselves where it is more and more difficult for us to accept the light of heaven, and at last it seems impossible to be impressed by admonitions and warnings. The sinner says, more and more easily, “Go thy way for this time; when I have a more convenient season, I will call for thee.” ...?{FH 63.3}[3]
The souls that at first delay and hesitate, resisting light and pressing against all knowledge, have excellent intentions of making a square turnabout when a convenient season shall come; but the wily foe that is upon their track makes his plans to bind them by the imperceptible threads of evil habits. Character is formed by habits, and one step in the downward road is a preparation for the second step, and the second for those that shall follow....?{FH 63.4}[4]
The children of God are to shine as lights in the midst of a perverse and crooked generation. But if right habits are not cultivated, they will give way to natural tendencies, and will become self-sufficient, self-indulgent, reckless, covetous, revengeful, independent, self-willed, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God....?{FH 63.5}[5]
The character of Daniel is an illustration of what a sinner may become through the grace of Christ. He was strong in intellectual and spiritual power.... The Holy Spirit is to be in us a divine indweller. Then let gratitude and love abound in your heart to God.—The Review and Herald, June 29, 1897.?{FH 63.6}[6]
