Representatives of God’s Government, September 15
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your
labour is not in vain in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:58
.
The church of Christ is to be clean, pure, and sanctified unto God.
Its members stand before the world as representatives of the heavenly
government. They are embarked, so long as time shall last, upon an
enterprise of mercy.
It is God’s desire that all who profess to believe in the truth of His word
shall make it known. Their persevering fidelity will be richly rewarded.
“The kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the
whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High.”
Let us then not be weary in well-doing. Let us yield our hearts entirely
to the teachings of the word of the great Medical Missionary. According
to our own faith in the message will be our earnestness and our power in
promoting the knowledge of Jesus Christ. We are to become “labourers
together with God,” always “abounding in the work of the Lord.”
Every day of our lives we face new obligations. The termination of
one duty is the beginning of the next. Our lives are to be spent in solemn
service for the Master. We are the Lord’s servants. The members of
Christ’s church are to be examples of life-service, of complete obedience
to our great Example. Every day our work will be appointed unto us
according to our several ability. In prayerful, watchful service, we shall
perfect characters after the divine similitude, characters with which God
will be pleased, and that will fit us for an entrance into the everlasting
kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
The Lord is waiting to manifest through His people His grace and
power.... Individually we are to walk and talk with God; then the sacred
influence of the gospel of Christ in all its preciousness will appear in our
lives
