[转载之前] 我破例在天主教版公开推荐一篇新教信义会牧师所翻译关於信心本质的佳句， 但不否认提出这篇的目的之一是为了支持我先前的论点，但我也希望能透过这篇的思维， 帮助到一些人更认识天主和天主教徒的思维。 [出处] 教牧与教育网站 基督教中华福音信义会 江茂松牧师 http://ce.fhl.net/quotation/f/faith-essence.htm [本文] FAITH - Essence 信心本质 Grace is not a reward for faith; faith is the result of grace. 恩典不是信心的奖赏；信心是恩典的结果。 Repentance and faith are graces we have received, not goals we have achieved. 懊悔及信心是我们得到的恩典，而不是我们成就的目标。 When Abraham went out, he was not sure of his destiny, but he was sure of his company. 当亚伯拉罕出去时，他不确定自己的命运，但他十分确定与他同行的是谁。 Faith is dead to doubt, dumb to discouragement, blind to impossibilities. 信心是以死对待怀疑，以沈默对待绝望，以瞎眼面对不可能。 Faith never fears that it will overdraw its account at the bank of heaven. 信心从来不惧怕天上银行存款会被提领一空。 Believe your beliefs and doubt your doubts; do not make the mistake of doubting your beliefs and believing your doubts. Charles F. Deems 相信你所相信的，怀疑你所怀疑的；千万别搞错成怀疑你所相信的，相信你所怀疑的。 There are three acts of faith; assent, acceptance and assurance. John Flavel 信心包括三个行动：同意、接受以及确信。 Faith is the trunk of the tree whose roots represent grace and whose fruit symbolizes good works. William Hendriksen 信心是一棵树的树干，它的根是恩典，它的结果象徵善工。 There is no merit in believing. It is only the act of receiving a proffered favour. Charles Hodge 信心本身没有甚麽功劳。信心只是接受上帝给我们的益处而已。 Saving faith is not creative, but receptive. It does not make our salvation, it accepts it grateful. Robert Horn 救赎的信心不具创造力，而是勇於接受。它没有做成救恩，它感恩的接受救恩。 Faith is a refusal to panic. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones 信心能让你避免惊慌失措。 The property of faith is not to be proud of what the eye sees, but to rely on what the Word reveals. Martin Luther 信心之价值不在夸耀眼睛看到的，而是依赖上帝话语所彰显的。 Faith has no back door. Paul Madson 信心没有後门。 Some people are always telegraphing to heaven for God to send a cargo of blessings to them; but they are not at the wharfside to unload the cargo when it comes. F. B. Meyer 有些人经常打电报到天上告诉上帝送给他们一货柜的福气；可是当货柜到的时候，他们却 没有码头设备可以卸下货柜。 Seeing is not believing. Seeing is seeing. Believing is being confident without seeing. G. Campbell Morgan 眼见不是信心。眼见就是眼见。信心是虽未看见却仍深信不疑。 Faith does not operate in the realm of the possible. There is no glory for God in that which is humanly possible. Faith begins where man's power ends. George Muller 信心可不是在有可能成就的范畴运作的。在人力可能完成的情形中，上帝可没甚麽可夸的 。信心是在人的能力尽头处开始的。 In faith two characteristics are inherent: it is worked by God and willed by man. Adolf Schlatter 信心蕴含两个特色：那就是上帝的工作与人的意愿。 The walk of faith is not getting a series of jerks from God. David Shepherd 信心的步行可不是从上帝而来的颠簸而行。 A believer sees invisible things. Richard Sibbes 一个相信的人能看见看不见的东西。 -- 发觉、尊重、善用上天赋予每个人内在生命中的真善美圣及其所含的力量 -- 天主教会台湾地区主教团关怀社会公开信 --
