Testimonies for the Church Volume 5
We must be workers together with God, not alone for our own
salvation, but in doing all we can for the salvation of others. Thus we
become partners in the great plan of redemption, and will be sharers in
the eternal weight of glory by and by. God calls upon you to press your
way “toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ
Jesus.” May the Lord bless you, is my prayer. But remember, if you
are united with Christ, you must be a co-worker with Him. Our piety
[549]
and religious duties will become narrowed down to our own interests
unless we are daily partakers of the spirit of Christ. Interest for the
souls of others is calculated to give breadth and depth and stability to
Christian character.
The Lord is coming. We are nearing home, and we want to take
large inspirations of the heavenly atmosphere; then we shall become
identified with the Saviour in all His plans. We shall be elevated and
able to elevate others, and shall be efficient in good works.
