神的公義與人的責任

———

God is perfect in His ability to deliver blessings to those who obey Him and punishment to those who disobey. Human judges are not perfect and sometimes people suffer unfairly because of them. It is not so with God. He is all-knowing and will always deal fairly with men.

神在施行祝福與審判上是完全的——順服祂的人得祝福，悖逆祂的人受刑罰。人的審判者並不完全，因此人有時會遭受不公平的對待。但神不是如此。祂是全知的，並且總是以公義對待人。

“He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.” (Deuteronomy 32:4)

「他是磐石，他的作為完全；他所行的無不公平，是誠實無偽的神，又公義又正直。」（申命記 32:4）

“That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?” (Genesis 18:25)

「將義人與惡人同殺，將義人與惡人一樣看待，這斷不是你所行的。審判全地的主，豈不行公義嗎？」（創世記 18:25）

“The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.” (Ezekiel 18:20)

「惟有犯罪的，他必死亡。兒子不擔當父親的罪孽，父親也不擔當兒子的罪孽。義人的善果必歸自己，惡人的惡報也必歸自己。」（以西結書 18:20）

Since God is just and fair, He will also never ask us to do something that is impossible for us to do and then condemn us for not doing it. If He gives us a command, it’s possible!

既然神是公義公平的，祂絕不會要求我們去做不可能完成的事，然後因我們做不到而定罪。若祂吩咐一件事，那件事就一定是人可以做到的。
