誠實是蒙神祝福的智慧—-約翰一書3:28 [我們相愛不要只在言語和舌頭上, 總要在行為和誠實上.］誠實指真實, 實際, 真心, 真理. 誠實是基督教文明的核心價值. 就個人主義而言, 擁有一個正直真誠的品格, 才能贏得別人的信任. 堅持誠實, 才會擁有改變命運的機會. 在聖經上所羅門王是世界上最聰明, 最有智慧的人. 他曾説過一段話”不可使慈愛, 誠實離開你, 要繫在你頸項上, 刻在你心版止. 這樣你必在神和世人眼前蒙恩寵, 有聰明.］箴言3:3-4. 誠實就是講誠信, 說誠實話. 謊話, 諂媚的話, 好像暫時得利. 但是長久眾人必知道你的為人如何, 而一個有誠實品德的人, 在上帝面前必蒙恩賜. 並受到眾人的信賴. 親愛的朋友, 一個以誠實待人的人, 就是一個品格高尚的人. 他在工作上一定會有團隊精神, 敬業熱情. 誠實正直有時候看起來好像是吃虧損失, 但是長久下來, 他一定會不斷地往上提升. 今天願我們都得著蒙福人生的袐訣, 相信上帝必要指引你人生的道路, 使你蒙神恩寵, 得到信賴和器重. 誠實使人向上提升, 而不誠實使人向下沈淪. 歐美白人至今仍常鄙視華人不誠實, 是騙子. 這是典型的種族偏見之一. 自鴉片戰爭之後, 華人自信心喪失殆盡, 見到歐美白人就矮了半截. 直到抗日戰爭勝利之後, 這種情況才逐漸好轉. 目前華人已逐漸從仰視白人到平視白人. 為袪除白人對華人的刻板印象, 華人首先要認知到誠實也是中華文化的核心價值. 中庸即強調”誠者, 天之道也. 誠之者, 人之道也.” 所謂天之道即為蒙神祝福的智慧. 所謂人之道是從生活經驗及哲學思維所獲得的智慧. 神學所研究的是絕對的真理, 哲學所研究的相對的真理, 而科學所研究的是客觀的真理. 科學是糖, 哲學是蜜, 神學是蜂王漿. 科學是金字塔的基石, 哲學是金字塔的骨幹, 而神學是金字塔的尖頂與靈魂. 我們應以科學的方法做事, 以哲學的思維待人, 更要以神學的指引做為我們人生的標竿. 華人應放下好面子的心態, 不卑不亢的與其他族裔和睦相處. 講信用, 守法律, 不糾結, 不折騰. 誠實不是問題, 不誠實才是大問題.
Honesty is wisdom blessed by God – 1 John 3:28 As far as individualism is concerned, having an honest and sincere character can win the trust of others. Stick to honesty, and you will have the opportunity to change your destiny. King Solomon is the wisest and wisest man in the world in the Bible He once said a passage “Do not let mercy and truth depart from you, but tie it around your neck, and write it on your heart. Then you will find favor and understanding in the sight of God and men.] Proverbs 3:3- 4. To be honest is to speak the truth, to speak the truth. Lies and flattery are like temporary gain. But in the long run everyone will know how you are, and a person of honest character will be gifted before God. Trust. Dear friend, a person who treats people with honesty is a person of noble character. He must have team spirit and dedication and enthusiasm in his work. Honesty and integrity sometimes seem to be a loss, but in the long run, he It will continue to ascend. May we all receive the secret of a blessed life today, believing that God will guide you in the way of life, so that you may be favored by God, trusted and valued. Honesty lifts people up, not honesty It makes people sink down. European and American white people still despise Chinese people for being dishonest and liars. This is one of the typical racial prejudices. Since the Opium War, Chinese people have lost their self-confidence. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, this situation gradually improved. At present, the Chinese have gradually changed from looking up to white people to looking up to white people. In order to eliminate the stereotype of white people against Chinese, Chinese must first recognize that honesty is also the core value of Chinese culture. Moderation means emphasizing “The sincerity is the way of heaven. The sincerity is the way of man.” The so-called way of heaven is the wisdom blessed by God. The so-called way of man is the wisdom obtained from life experience and philosophical thinking . is the absolute truth, the relative truth that philosophy studies, and the objective truth that science studies. Science is sugar, philosophy is honey, and theology is royal jelly. Science is the cornerstone of the pyramid, philosophy is the backbone of the pyramid, and theology is the The apex and soul of the pyramid. We should do things in a scientific way, treat people with philosophical thinking, and take theological guidance as the benchmark for our life. The Chinese should put down the mentality of good face, and live in harmony with other ethnic groups without being humble or arrogant. . Be honest, obey the law, don’t tangle, don’t toss. Honesty is not a problem, dishonesty is a big problem.
