經文:「我們若將起初確實的信心,堅持到底,就在基督裡有分了。」(來3:14) 若將信心堅持到底,就能得到榮耀;若是中途失去信心,就會受到虧損。可是疑惑常會消滅信心,將我們推落到失敗的地位。 在天路歷程中,沒有一處比「疑寨」更加危險。在那裡會使即將完成歷程又疲倦的旅客,陷於致死的沉睡。旅伴阿,前方的榮耀已經能夠望見了,好不好再堅持你的信心「一點點時候」(來10:37)呢? 「我們行善,不可喪志;若不灰心,到了時候,就要收成。」(加6:9)「所以你們當跑,好叫你們得著獎賞。」(林前9:24)--選 新譯|荒漠甘泉讀書會

Scripture: "We are made partaker of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end" (Heb. 3:14). It is the last step that wins; and there is no place in the pilgrim's progress where so many dangers lurk as the region that lies hard by the portals of the Celestial City. It was there that Doubting Castle stood. It was there that the enchanted ground lured the tired traveler to fatal slumber. It is when Heaven's heights are full in view that hell's gate is most persistent and full of deadly peril. "Let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." "So run, that ye may obtain." | Mrs. Charles Cowman
