I write these things to you, my brethren, although all of you may
not fully comprehend them. If I did not believe that God’s eye is over
His people, I could not have the courage to write the same things
over and over again.... God has a people whom He is leading and
instructing.—

I am instructed to say to Seventh-day Adventists the world over,
God has called us as a people to be a peculiar treasure unto Himself.
He has appointed that His church on earth shall stand perfectly united
in the Spirit and counsel of the Lord of hosts to the end of time.—

Nothing in this world is so dear to God as His church. With jealous
care He guards those who seek Him. Nothing so offends God as for
the servants of Satan to strive to rob His people of their rights. The
Lord has not forsaken His people. Satan points to the mistakes that
they have made, and tries to make them believe that thus they have
separated themselves from God. Evil angels seek in every way to
discourage those who are striving for victory over sin. They hold
up before them their past unworthiness, and represent their case as
hopeless. But we have an all-powerful Redeemer. Christ came from
heaven in the guise of humanity to live the principles of righteousness
in this world. He was endowed with power to minister to all who
would accept Him as their Redeemer, to succor the repentant ones
who were convinced of the sinfulness of sin. “We have not an high
priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but
was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin” (
Hebrews
4:15
