得救之道-A. W. Pink

我当做什么才能得救呢？从什么中得救呢？再请问一次：你盼望从什么当中得到拯救呢？地狱吗？

这是废话！谁想下地狱！其实，神与人之间真正的阻隔是【偏差】。你愿意从偏差中得拯救吗？

偏差是什么？偏差是反叛上帝的一种表现。偏差是自我中心，我行我素，对上帝置之不理；对他的旨意漠不关心。

上帝救人之前，先要光照他，让他认识到自己是个有偏差的人。我的意思不是说，叫他跟着大家一块儿说：“没错，我们都是有偏差的人啊！我知道啦！” 不！我的意思乃是说，圣灵会叫我从内心深处觉悟到：我这一辈子都偏行己路、背弃了神；我真有巨大偏差啊！因此，我恐惧战兢，害怕自己出的偏差太多、太大、太黑，以至于超越了神怜悯的限度了。

你曾经历过这样的绝望吗？你看见自己全然败坏，不配进天国，不配见如此圣洁的上帝吗？你认识自己里面一无是处、无善足称吗？你看见自己一向以来：所爱慕的都是神所恨恶的，所恨恶的却是神所喜悦的吗？你看见了吗？

如此的看见，曾否令你在神面前心灵破碎呢？你竟藐视他的圣日、忽略他的话语、将他置之脑后、完全不放心上。你是否因此忧伤痛悔呢？如果你仍不痛不痒、无动于衷，那么至少目前为止，你还无可救药，因为神说：“你们若不悔改，都要如此灭亡。”（路13:3）你若死在现今的景况中，你就会永远的失落啦！

然而，你若意识到：出偏差是你最大的灾殃，偏离神是你最大的痛苦；反之，荣耀神是你最大的心愿、讨神喜悦是你最大的满足；那么，你还有指望。“人子来，为要寻找拯救失丧的人。”（路19:10）他乐意拯救你，只要你愿向他投降、缴械、臣服、顺从，认他为你的主宰、你的君王。

他的血能洗净最污秽的有偏差的人，他的恩能扶持最软弱不配的人。他的能力能拯救一切饱经试炼的人。“看哪！现在正是悦纳的时候；现在正是拯救的日子。”（林后 6:2）现在，就向基督屈膝称臣吧！让他在你心中掌权，让他掌管你的生命，信靠他为你十架舍命。你要尽心尽意的爱他，全心全意的顺服他，他必带领你安然进入天城。

The Way of Salvation A. W. Pink


What must I do to be saved? Saved from what? What is it you wish to be saved from? Hell?
That proves nothing. Nobody wants to go there. The issue between God and man is SIN. Do you wish to be saved from it?
What is sin? Sin is a species of rebellion against God. It is self-pleasing: it is utter ignoring of God’s claims: being completely indifferent whether my conduct pleases or displeases Him.
Before God saves a man He convicts him of his sinnership. By this I do not mean that he says with everybody else, “O yes we are all sinners, I know that.” Rather do I mean that the Holy Spirit makes me feel in my heart that I have been a life-long rebel against God, and that my sins are so many, so great, so black, that I fear that I have transgressed beyond the reach of Divine mercy.
Have you ever had that experience? Have you seen yourself to be totally unfit for heaven?
For the presence of a Holy God? Do you now perceive that there is no good thing in you, nothinggood credited to your account, that all the way through you have loved the things God hates and hated the things God loves?
Has the realization of this broken your heart before God? Has it made you mourn that you have so despised His Sabbaths, neglected His Word, and given Him no real place at all in your thoughts,affections and life? If you have not yet seen and felt this personally, then at present there is no hope for you, for God says, “Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” —Luke 13:3. And if you die in your present condition you will be lost forever.
But if you have been brought to the place where sin is your greatest plague, where offending God is your greatest grief and where your deepest desire is now to please and honor Him; then there is hope for you. “The Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost” —Luke 19:10. And He will save you providing you are ready and willing to throw down the weapons of your warfare against Him, bow to His Lordship, and surrender yourself to His control.
His blood can wash the foulest clean. His grace can support and uphold the weakest. His power can deliver the tried and tempted. “Behold now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” —II Corinthians 6:2. Yield yourself to Christ’s claims. Give Him the throne of your heart. Turn over to Him the regulation of your life. Trust in His atoning death. Love Him with all your soul. Obey Him with all your might and He will conduct you to heaven.
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” —Acts 16:31.
