Page 115 of 1471 John 38:2
@@@^Be warned, therefore, that “as the disciples declared that there is salvation in no other name under heaven, given among men, so, also should the servants of God faithfully and fearlessly warn those who embrace but a part of the truths connected with the third message, that they must gladly receive all the messages as God has given them, or have no part in the matter.”—@9Early Writings,@7 pp. 188, 189.
1 John 41:4
@@@^Some who are anxious to risk Present Truth on the weight of what one inspired statement seems to say or imply, are thereby presumptuously or very ignorantly overlooking the “weight of evidence.” Others are doing this through shortsightedness, while still others are doing it to prop up certain cherished ideas of their own.
1 John 42:2
@@@^Since, Truth is progressive, and since the purification of the church had not yet been revealed when the statement in @9Early Writings@7 was written, the danger foretold and the counsel given therein could not possibly have been stated in terms other than those then familiarly comprehended. All were thus plainly forewarned that if they continued sinning, then after the close of probation for the world, the plagues, of which they already had some understanding, would be their recompense. So for the Lord to have explained the matter in @9Early Writings @7as He does through the @9Rod@7 today, He would have had to reveal, out of due time, when @9Early Writings@7 was being written, the message which is applicable only to the church for today, and which we are now therefore receiving.
1 John 43:1
@@@^No one should have difficulty in seeing this now, for all those to whom @9Early Writings@7 primarily spoke are already dead, though the plagues are yet in the future. Furthermore, there is much more light to come concerning the truth of the seven last plagues, and when it comes, we may again see that we have “many lessons to learn, and many, many to @9un@7learn.”—@9Testimonies to Ministers@7, p. 30.
1 John 53:2
@@@^Now, if we are to arrive at the truth, we must interpret the statement in @9Early Writings@7 and the one in Matthew 20:16, in a way as to harmonize with Isaiah 60:11, 22; Zechariah 2:11; 13:8, 9; @9The Great Controversy@7, p. 665, and other passages, all of which show that there is to be a great multitude.
1 John 53:4
@@@^In the clear light of the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy passages here cited, the weight of evidence incontestably leads to the conclusion that a great multitude is to be saved. The truth becomes evident, then, that the “few” comprehends those saved at the call of each message during the ages past, the time @9before @7the “harvest.” But in the closing of the world’s history, @9during the harvest time@7 of the gospel, there is to be a great ingathering of redeemed souls, “a great multitude such as no man can number.” The term “harvest” implies just such a reaping.
1 John 68:1
@@@^Let all Present-truth believers, therefore, pursue this course to its happy climax: “Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord. And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be My people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee.” Zech. 2:10, 11.
1 John 83:1
@@@^Those who do conclude themselves led to elect marriage, and who are determined to move in fear to the glory of God, will necessarily marry “only in the Lord”: they will not take to themselves either unbelievers or unconverted worldly, careless, unconsecrated believers. The wise will keep constantly in mind the realization that worldly dress and deportment cannot charm a true Christian and therefore cannot possibly bring a happy, abiding, true Christian union. They will set their affections only upon one who is an earnest, zealous, industrious spiritual-minded adherent to Present Truth.
1 John 87:4
@@@^In Romans 14:5, 6 he is endeavoring to correct unfair criticism by admonishing the believers that everyone must be persuaded in his own conscience, and that the duty of a Christian is to keep, speak, and teach the Truth, @9not@7 to demand obedience to it; @9not@7 to despise those who eat or those who do not, or those who esteem one day above another; but to let all be fully persuaded in their own minds. In short a Christian’s duty is to be charitable, to be an altogether-Christian, having a mind of his own, but ever being ready to forgo his opinions for a “thus saith the Lord.”
1 John 90:3
@@@^The law spoken of in Galatians 3:13 is the Ten commandment law (Ex.20:). It teaches one that his obedience to it brings to him the manifold blessing of: maintaining his fidelity to God and to man; safeguarding his religion (Ex. 20:3-7) if it be built on Truth; ever reminding him that God created the heaven and the earth in six working days, securing for him the joyous privilege to be with God while resting on His Holy Day—the seventh (Ex. 20:8-11); teaching children to honor their parents (Ex. 20:12), preventing one from murdering (Ex. 20:13); preserving chastity in all, but particularly safeguarding women (Ex. 20.14); instilling in him honesty (Ex. 20:15) and developing the highest integrity; keeping him from falsehood (Ex. 20:16); and saving him from covetousness (Ex. 20:17). It is the Christian’s mirror, and his defense.
2 John 2:1
@@@^That everyone who thirsteth for the truth may obtain it, this booklet of questions and answers is, as a Christian service, mailed without charge. Send for it. It levies but one exaction, the soul’s obligation to itself to prove all things and hold fast that which is good. The only strings attached to this free proffer are the golden strands of Eden and the crimson cords of Calvary—the ties that bind.
2 John 10:1
@@@^These lessons teach that every individual himself, without the influence of another should determine to know and to practice the Truth if he wishes to escape the Enemy’s invisible webs spread along the path of his feet. He should now know the worst of his own case if he wants to keep his crown of eternal life, his most priceless treasure. If he does not, he will lose it.
2 John 10:2
@@@^@9The statement in “The Symbolic Code,” July 1935, Vol. 1, No. 13, p. 9, that “if the individual does not reform at the moment he is convinced of the Truth, neither will he do it later,” makes me fearful. For if it is so, then I have done things to cause me to be lost. What hope is there for me? @7
2 John 10:3
@@@^The @9Code@7 does not mean by the word “reform” that one must become perfect all at once. Perfection is attained through continuing in the Truth and climbing the ladder of perfection step by step. (See @9Testimonies@7, Vol. 1, p. 187). A true Christian never lags behind, but as perfect corn of the field steadily develops in the ear, so also does he develop in the Christian sphere as far as the Light leads him forth. Hence if you have made a start and are still running in the race, there is no reason why you should be lost, “for a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again.” Prov. 24:16. “And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” 1 John 2:1.
2 John 11:1
@@@^The class which does not reform, according to the @9Code@7, are those who do not start in the race when convinced of advanced Truth, but who, like the Jews of Christ’s day or the Laodiceans of today, say, We are “rich and increased with goods, and have need of nothing” (Rev. 3:17); or who, like Felix, excuse themselves, saying, “Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.” Acts 24 :25.
2 John 13:2
@@@^“Day by day, hour by hour, a vigorous work of self-denial and of sanctification must go on within; then the works will bear witness that Jesus is abiding in the heart by faith. Sanctification does not close the avenues of the soul to knowledge, but expands the mind, and inspires it to search for truth as for hidden treasure.”—@9Counsels to Teachers@7, p. 449.
2 John 22:4
@@@^The first part of the verse applies to the first advent of Christ, and the last part to the time of the purification of the church. Thus Christ by use of prophetic language, appears to be looking back on the time of His sufferings while He was on the cross, emphasizing that there were none with Him, and that, therefore, by inference, those who had no part in His agony have no right to rule over those whom He set free; and that whoever continues to hold His people in bondage and in ignorance of His Truth, will He tread in His anger and trample them in His fury and sprinkle their blood upon His garments, thereby staining all His raiment, and thus setting His people free.
2 John 24:1
@@@^Suppose you had been baptized by the apostle Paul and received into church fellowship, lived on up to the present time, all the while walking in the advancing light of the Lord, you would have followed Him through all of the seven successive Movements of the Reformation—the seven church periods. In the Protestant period, you would have been Lutheran first and Davidian last. In your thus having faithfully followed the light of Truth, it is neither Scriptural nor logical that God would have required you to be re-baptized every time you took a step forward.
2 John 25:2
@@@^Moreover, no man can judge the work by his own wisdom or by the wisdom of other human beings, for, says the Spirit of Truth: “The workers will be surprised by the simple means that He will use to bring about and perfect His work of righteousness....Let me tell you that the Lord will work in this last work in a manner very much out of the common order of things, and in a way that will be contrary to any human planning.”—@9Testimonies to Ministers@7, p. 300.
2 John 26:2
@@@^To Present-truth believers, one of the surest evidences that the Lord is leading in the work of Mt. Carmel, is that regardless of ceaseless opposition, paucity of laborers, and many other handicaps, the work is steadily moving onward with an irresistible power. It is, indeed, like the mustard seed.
