service. God wants no idlers in His field, but colaborers with Christ,
vigilant sentinels at their posts, valiant soldiers of the cross, ready to
do and dare all things for the cause in which they are enlisted.
It is not wealth or intellect that gives happiness; it is true moral
worth and a sense of duty performed. You may have the overcomer’s
reward and stand before the throne of Christ to sing His praises in the
day when He assembles His saints; but your robes must be cleansed in
the blood of the Lamb, and charity must cover you as a garment, and
you be found spotless and without blemish.
John says: “After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which
no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and
tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with
white robes, and palms in their hands; and cried with a loud voice,
saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto
the Lamb.” “These are they which came out of great tribulation, and
have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the
Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve Him day
and night in His temple: and He that sitteth on the throne shall dwell
among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more;
neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which
is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto
living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes.”
