四、关于得罪神的律法
人也许感觉自己的骄傲是罪，但不一定感觉骄傲是得罪神的。对普通人来说，犯罪是一件事，得罪神又是一件事。但是在基督徒身上，犯罪和得罪神乃是同一件事。譬如我们得罪弟兄，就觉得是得罪神。但是外教人多以为犯罪和得罪神无关。圣经给我们看见，大卫犯了奸淫、杀人的罪，但他以为真正得罪的乃是神。他认为他不只是犯罪，更是得罪了神。（诗五一４）。所以人若只有犯罪的感觉，而不以为是得罪神，就不彀是基督徒。主是高过一切的，这地上所有的权柄，所有的人事关系，都是由祂来的。
所以，今天我得罪另外一个人，就是得罪祂。比方我养了十只狗和十只羊，如果狗把羊咬死了，狗不是得罪了羊，实在乃是得罪我。对于所有的罪，不认识神的人只知道是罪，而不知道是得罪神。许多基督徒只知道罪，而不知道是得罪神。这样的得救总要出事情。关于这件事，中国人中间认识的很少。因此我们非求神作深的工作不行。当一个人对于罪的感觉彀深的时候，才知道罪不仅是罪，乃是得罪神。我们传福音，总要把听福音的人带到一个地步，不仅知道自己犯罪，并且知道他犯罪乃是得罪了神。这是传福音要紧的一点。

How to Awaken a Sense of Sin in Men (3) — Psa. 51:4
4. Concerning Sin as an Offense Against God’s Law
A person may feel that pride is a sin, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they feel that pride is an offense against God. To the average person, committing a sin is one thing, and offending God is another. But for a Christian, committing sin and offending God are the same thing. For example, when we wrong a brother, we feel that we have also wronged God. But to unbelievers, committing sin has nothing to do with offending God. Yet the Bible shows us that when David committed the sins of adultery and murder, he saw that the One he had truly offended was God. He recognized that he had not merely sinned, but had sinned against God (Psa. 51:4). Therefore, if a person only feels guilty about committing sin but doesn’t realize that their sin is an offense against God, they fall short of being a true Christian. The Lord is above all. All earthly authority and each personal relationship originates from Him.
So when I offend another man, I am ultimately offending Him. For example, if I own ten dogs and ten sheep, and a dog bites and kills a sheep, the dog has not just wronged the sheep, it has also offended me, its master. Unbelievers may recognize something as a sin, but they don’t understand it as an offense against God. Many Christians also only recognize sin itself, without seeing it as an offense against God. This kind of shallow salvation often leads to problems later on. In this regard, very few Chinese have proper understanding. That is why we have to ask God to do a deeper work. Only when someone has a deep enough sense of sin can they come to see that sin is not just wrongdoing – it is an offense against God. When we preach the gospel, we need to always bring the listener to this point: not only to recognize that they have sinned, but also to see that their sin is against God, which is a crucial point in preaching the gospel.
