순종과 계속적인 노력을 통한 승리

순종과 계속적인 노력을 통한 승리

Those who overcome as Christ overcame

will need to constantly guard themselves against the temptations of Satan.

그리스도께서 승리하신 것과 같이 승리하고자 하는 사람은

끊임없이 사단의 시험을 대항하여 자신을 경계할 필요가 있다.

The appetite and passions

should be restricted and under the control of enlightened conscience,

that the intellect may be unimpaired, the perceptive powers clear,

so that the workings of Satan and his snares

may not be interpreted to be the providence of God.

지성이 손상되지 않고 밝은 식별력을 가짐으로써

사단의 동작과 올무를 하나님의 섭리로 오해하지 않기 위하여

식욕과 정욕을 억제하고 그것을 맑은 양심의 지배 아래 두어야 한다.

Many desire the final reward and victory which are to be given to overcomers,

but are not willing to endure toil, privation, and denial of self, as did their Redeemer.

It is only through obedience and continual effort

that we shall overcome as Christ overcame.

이기는 자에게 주시는 최후의 보상과 승리를 얻고자 하는 자는 많으나,

저희 구속주가 하신 것처럼 수고와 궁핍과 자기 부정을 견디기를 원하지 않는다.

오직 순종과 끊임없는 노력을 통해서만 그리스도께서 승리하신 것처럼 우리도 승리할 수 있다.

The controlling power of appetite will prove the ruin of thousands,

when, if they had conquered on this point, they would have had moral power

to gain the victory over every other temptation of Satan.

But those who are slaves to appetite will fail in perfecting Christian character. 

이 점에 승리했더라면

다른 모든 사단의 시험에도 승리할 수 있는 도덕적 힘을 얻었을 많은 사람들이

식욕의 지배의 실패로 파멸되고 말 것이다.

만약 그들이 식욕을 조절할 수 있는 힘이 있었다면

사탄의 유혹에도 이길 수 있는 도적적인 힘을 가질 수 있었을 것이라는 점을 증명할 수 있을 것이다.

그러나 식욕의 노예가 된 자들은 그리스도인 품성 완성에 실패할 것이다. 

The continual transgression of man for six thousand years

has brought sickness, pain, and death as its fruits.

And as we near the close of time, Satan's temptation to indulge appetite

will be more powerful and more difficult to overcome.

6천년간 계획된 인간의 범죄는 그 결과로 질병과 고통과 죽음을 가져왔다.

마지막이 가까워올수록 식욕의 방종에 대한 사단의 유혹은 더욱 강력해져서

더욱더 극복하기 어려워질 것이다.

─교회증언 3권, 491, 492.

 
 

Victory Through Obedience and Continued Effort

Those who overcome as Christ overcame will need to constantly guard themselves against the temptations of Satan. The appetite and passions should be restricted and under the control of enlightened conscience, that the intellect may be unimpaired, the perceptive powers clear, so that the workings of Satan and his snares may not be interpreted to be the providence of God.

Many desire the final reward and victory which are to be given to overcomers, but are not willing to endure toil, privation, and denial of self, as did their Redeemer. It is only through obedience and continual effort that we shall overcome as Christ overcame.

The controlling power of appetite will prove the ruin of thousands, when, if they had conquered on this point, they would have had moral power to gain the victory over every other temptation of Satan. But those who are slaves to appetite will fail in perfecting Christian character. 

The continual transgression of man for six thousand years has brought sickness, pain, and death as its fruits. And as we near the close of time, Satan's temptation to indulge appetite will be more powerful and more difficult to overcome.
