Testimonies for the Church Volume 7
* * * * *
The life of the true believer reveals an indwelling Saviour. The
follower of Jesus is Christlike in spirit and in temper. Like Christ, he
is meek and humble. His faith works by love and purifies the soul. His
whole life is a testimony to the power of the grace of Christ. The pure
doctrines of the gospel never degrade the receiver, never make him
coarse, or rough, or uncourteous. The gospel refines, ennobles, and
elevates, sanctifying the judgment and influencing the whole life.
* * * * *
God will not suffer one of His truehearted workers to be left alone
to struggle against great odds and be overcome. He preserves as a
precious jewel everyone whose life is hid with Christ in God. Of every
such an one He says: “I ... will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen
thee.”
Haggai 2:23
