CHILDLIKENESS ｜ 赤子之心（宗教中的孩童之灵）

ENCHILDLIKENESS, or the Childlike Spirit in Religion. This may be described as a condition or frame of mind, combining a feeling of restful dependence upon, and a docile, obedient, loving trust in, the Divine Caretaker. It includes simplicity of spirit, openness of ear and heart, with assurance of faith and hope and love.

中赤子之心，即宗教中的孩童之灵。可以把它描述为一种心境：把对神圣看顾者安息的倚赖之情，与温顺、听话、爱的信靠合而为一。它包含灵里的纯一、耳与心的敞开，以及信、望、爱的确据。

ENIt carries within it a living sense of childship to God, a deep quiet realization of the child-relation to God, and a daily experience of glad response in heart and word and deed to every call of the Father to fellowship and service. This is the vital essence of "pure religion" or genuine godliness.

中它内里怀着一种活泼的、作神儿女的意识，一种对与神的父子关系深沉安静的领会，以及一种日复一日的经历——对天父每一次相交与服事的呼唤，都在心思、言语和行为上作出欢然的回应。这就是『清洁的虔诚』（雅各书 1:27）——真敬虔——的核心本质。

ENThe Scriptures present many points bearing upon the nature, elements, and blessed effects of the childlike spirit. Chief among these, distinctive and clear, are the utterances of Christ. Matt. 18:2-5. Except ye become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. X. 290. Mark 10:15. Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. X. 337, 338.

BSBMark 10:15 Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

中圣经从多个方面论及孩童之灵的性质、要素与蒙福的果效；其中最卓著清晰的，是基督亲口的话。马太福音 18:2-5 —— 你们若不回转，变成小孩子的样式，断不得进天国。马可福音 10:15 —— 凡要承受神国的，若不像小孩子，断不能进去。

ENMatt. 5:9. The peacemakers shall be called the children of God. Matt. 5:44, 45. Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father in heaven. X. 153, 154. Eph. 5:1. Imitators of God, as beloved children. Eph. 5:8. Walk as children of light. XI. 436.

BSBMatthew 5:44, 45 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

中马太福音 5:9 —— 使人和睦的人有福了，因为他们必称为神的儿子。5:44-45 —— 要爱你们的仇敌，为那逼迫你们的祷告，这样就可以作你们天父的儿子。以弗所书 5:1 —— 所以你们该效法神，好像蒙慈爱的儿女一样。5:8 —— 行事为人就当像光明的子女。

ENHeb. 12:5. Regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art reproved of Him. XI. 605. 1 Pet. 1:14. As children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in the time of your ignorance; but be ye yourselves holy in all manner of living. XI. 649. Prov. 4:20. My son, attend to My words. VI. 268.

BSB1 Peter 1:14 As obedient children, do not conform to the passions of your former ignorance.

中希伯来书 12:5 —— 我儿，你不可轻看主的管教，被他责备的时候也不可灰心。彼得前书 1:14 —— 你们既作顺命的儿女，就不要效法从前蒙昧无知的时候那放纵私欲的样子。（15 节）你们在一切所行的事上也要圣洁。箴言 4:20 —— 我儿，要留心听我的言词。
