Address to Ministers
457
I entreat all, especially those who minister in word and doctrine,
to make an unreserved surrender to God. Consecrate your lives to
Him, and be indeed ensamples to the flock. Be no longer content
to remain dwarfs in spiritual things. Let your aim be nothing short
of perfection of Christian character. Let your lives be unselfish and
[522]
blameless, that they may ever be a living rebuke to those who are
selfish and whose affections seem to be upon their earthly treasure.
God grant that you may be strengthened according to the riches of
His glory, “with might by His Spirit in the inner man; that Christ may
dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in
love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth,
and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ,
which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness
of God.”
