"Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the
prophecy of this book. Revelation 22:7.
We are rapidly approaching the end of this earth’s history; and as we realize
that Jesus is indeed coming soon, we shall be aroused to labor as never before....
We are to raise the banner on which is inscribed, “The commandments of God, and
the faith of Jesus.” Obedience to God’s law is the great issue. Let it not be put out
of sight....
The Lord desires to see the work of proclaiming the third angel’s message
carried forward with increasing efficiency. As He has worked in all ages to give
victories to His people, so in this age He longs to carry to a triumphant fulfillment
His purposes for His church. He bids His believing saints to advance unitedly,
going from strength to greater strength, from faith to increased assurance and
confidence in the truth and righteousness of His cause.
We are to stand firm as a rock to the principles of the Word of God,
remembering that God is with us to give us strength to meet each new experience.
Let us ever maintain in our lives the principles of righteousness.... We are to hold
as very sacred the faith that has been substantiated by the instruction and approval
of the Spirit of God from our earliest experience until the present time. We are to
cherish as very precious the work that the Lord has been carrying forward through
His commandment-keeping people, and which, through the power of His grace,
will grow stronger and more efficient as time advances. The enemy is seeking to
becloud the discernment of God’s people and to weaken their efficiency, but if they
will labor as the Spirit of God shall direct, He will open doors of opportunity before
them for the work of building up the old waste places. Their experience will be one
of constant growth, until the Lord shall descend from heaven with power and great
glory to set His seal of final triumph upon His faithful ones.
The work that lies before us is one that will put to the stretch every power of
the human being.... Jesus will be with you; ... and He will be your helper in every
emergency."
