Testimonies for the Church Volume 3
Our faith is peculiar. Many who profess to be living under the
sound of the last message of mercy are not separated in their affections
from the world. They bow down before the friendship of the world and
sacrifice light and principle to secure its favor. The apostle describes
the favored people of God in these words: “But ye are a chosen
generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that
ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of
darkness into His marvelous light.”
[202]
