1203 「不是依靠势力，不是依靠才能」
我说的话，讲的道，不是用智慧委婉的言语，乃是用圣灵和大能的明证。《哥林多前书2:4》
如果你在传福音时以救恩之道的知识取代信靠福音大能，你就阻碍了人们得到真实。当你宣扬你的救恩之道的知识时，要小心，确保你自己是藉着信神而被栽种并扎根。永远不要依赖你表述的清晰度，但在你阐释时，要确保你是依靠圣灵。依靠神救赎大能的确实，祂就会在人们心中创造祂自己的生命。
一旦你扎根于真实，就无可动摇。如果你的信心是建立在经历之上，那么任何发生的事情都可能推翻你的信心。但没有什么可以改变神或救赎的真实。将你的信心建基其上，你就会永远稳固安全，像神那样稳固安全。一旦你与耶稣基督建立了个人关系，你就永远不再动摇了，这就是成圣的意义。神不赞成我们人类坚持认为成圣只是一种经历，而忘记了即使我们的成圣也必须被圣化。「我為他們的緣故，自己分別為聖，叫他們也因真理成聖。」（约翰福音 17:19）。我必须有意地将我成圣的生命交给神为祂所用，这样祂才能使用我作为祂的手和脚。
来自章伯斯的智慧
在过去的三百年里，人们一直在比较耶稣基督的教义与其他美好的教义的相似性。但我们必须记住，如果基督教不是超自然的神迹，那就是一个骗局。《至善》
1203 “Not by Might nor by Power”
My speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power… —1 Corinthians 2:4
If in preaching the gospel you substitute your knowledge of the way of salvation for confidence in the power of the gospel, you hinder people from getting to reality. Take care to see while you proclaim your knowledge of the way of salvation, that you yourself are rooted and grounded by faith in God. Never rely on the clearness of your presentation, but as you give your explanation make sure that you are relying on the Holy Spirit. Rely on the certainty of God’s redemptive power, and He will create His own life in people.
Once you are rooted in reality, nothing can shake you. If your faith is in experiences, anything that happens is likely to upset that faith. But nothing can ever change God or the reality of redemption. Base your faith on that, and you are as eternally secure as God Himself. Once you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, you will never be moved again. That is the meaning of sanctification. God disapproves of our human efforts to cling to the concept that sanctification is merely an experience, while forgetting that even our sanctification must also be sanctified (see John 17:19). I must deliberately give my sanctified life to God for His service, so that He can use me as His hands and His feet.

For the past three hundred years men have been pointing out how similar Jesus Christ’s teachings are to other good teachings. We have to remember that Christianity, if it is not a supernatural miracle, is a sham. The Highest Good, 548 L
