Bible - Influence and Power | 聖經 - 影響及能力 |
The Word generates faith and regenerates us. Joseph Alleine 聖經生發信心並且使我們得著更新。 |
Our faith is fed by what
plain in Scripture and tried by what is obscure. Augustine 在聖經中,清楚易懂的部分餵養我們的信心,而那些奧秘難懂的部分則能考驗我們的信心。 |
The Lord does not shine upon us, except when we take
his Word as our light. John Calvin 除非我們讓上帝的話語成為我們的亮光,否則上帝無法照亮我們。 |
Unless God's Word illumine
the way, the whole life of men is wrapped in darkness and mist, so that they cannot but
miserably stray. John Calvin 若非上帝話語照亮道路,人們的生命只籠罩於黑暗迷霧之中,唯一的結局就是步上悲慘歧途。 |
The foundation of every reformation of the Holy
Spirit is the Word of God made plain to the people. Frank Cooke 每一次聖靈的更新均生於上帝話語對人一如清晰明鏡之時。 |
The only true reformation is
that which emanates from the Word of God. J. H. Merle d'Aubigne 唯一真實的生命更新出於上帝話語。 |
The Scriptures teach us the best way of living, the
noblest way of suffering and the most comfortable way of dying. John Flavel 聖經教導我們最佳生活之道、最高尚的受苦之道以及最舒適的離世之道。 |
If half the strength spent
in attacking or defending the Bible were spent in releasing it, how the level of ordinary
life would be raised! Will H. Houghton 如果能將攻擊或保護聖經的一半力量用來闡釋聖經,那將給平淡生活帶來何等的變化! |
The divine law, as seen by the Christian, exhibits
liberty, gives liberty, is liberty. Robert Johnstone 神聖律例如同基督徒所見,揭示自由、帶來自由、就是自由。 |
I have done nothing: the
Word has done and accomplished everything. Martin Luther 我根本沒做甚麼,是上帝的話語動工並成就所有的事情。 |
While other books inform, and some few reform, this
one book transforms. A. T. Pierson 浩瀚書籍中,有些書提供我們知識,少數幾本更新我們的觀念,而獨獨只有一本書能夠改變我們的生命。 |
A Bible-reading laity is a
nation's surest defence against error. J. C. Ryle 一位閱讀聖經的平民是一個國家面對錯謬時最堅定的防衛。 |
