Spiritual Gifts, Volume 4b
I saw that some hardly know yet what self-denial or sacrifice is,
and what it is to suffer for the truth’s sake. But I saw that none will
enter Heaven without making a sacrifice. They should cherish a spirit
of sacrifice and self-denial. Some have not sacrificed themselves,
their own bodies, on the altar of God. They indulge in hasty, fitful
temper, and gratify their appetites, and attend to their own self-interest,
regardless of the cause of God. Those who are willing to make any
sacrifice for eternal life, will have it. And it will be worth suffering
for, worth crucifying self for, and sacrificing every idol for.
