Page 34 of 56Galatians 69:1
@@@^For centuries, Christ’s followers have prayed, “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done.” Now that the time has come for the prayer to be fulfilled let us live out our prayers, lest any of us be found among the unfaithful class with whom Christ concludes the following parable:
Galatians 83:2
@@@^“I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for @9to provoke them@7 to jealousy. Now if @9the fall@7 of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; @9how much more their fullness@7? For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: if by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. For if the @9casting@7 away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the @9receiving @7of them be, but life from the dead? For if the firstfruit [the Jew] be holy, the lump [Jew and Gentile] is also holy: and if the root [the Jew] be holy, so are the branches [whether they be original or grafted in]. And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree [the Gentile tree], wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the [good] olive tree; boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou [Gentile] bearest not the root, but the root [the Jew] thee. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith.
Galatians 86:2
@@@^“Thus saith the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, and His Holy One, to him whom man despiseth [the one whom they called “this man” (Luke 19:14). See page 71], to him whom “the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the Lord that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and He shall choose thee. Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages that thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places. They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for He that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall He guide them. And I will make all My mountains a way, and My highways shall be exalted. Behold, these shall come from far: and lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.
Galatians 101:2
@@@^O Brother, Sister, have you the faith of Lot? “All these things happened unto them for ensamples: and . . . are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.” 1 Cor. 10:11. O let us, then, follow in the footsteps of these great men of God, trusting His immutable Word, and acting upon it without the slightest hesitation! Follow not in the way of those who doubted, questioned, and criticized, and who, in fatal consequence, never arrived at the knowledge of the truth. Of such who lived at the time of the early Advent Movement, church history says: “Multitudes, trusting implicitly to their pastors, refused to listen to the warning; and others, though convinced of the truth, dared not confess it, lest they should be ‘put out of the synagogue.’
Ephesians 42:1
@@@^Because of the unfaithfulness of the former watchmen, the Lord makes the antitypical Ezekiel — he and she who “sigh and cry for the abominations that be done in the midst thereof” (the church) — a “watchman” (Ezek. 3:17) in their stead. Be careful, therefore, Brother, Sister, lest you also betray your trust and find yourself thrust out. “Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” 1 Cor. 10:12. Only those who thus humble themselves now, will the Lord exalt in due time to be
Ephesians 42:2
@@@^“Those who have trusted to intellect, genius, or talent, will not then stand at the head of rank and file. They @9did not@7 keep pace with the light. Those who have proved themselves unfaithful will not then be entrusted with the flock. In the @9last solemn @7work@9 few @7great men will be engaged. They are self-sufficient, independent of God, and He cannot use them.” — @9Testimonies@7, Vol. 5, p. 80.
Ephesians 43:1
@@@^The fact that our conferences grant ministerial licenses only to college-trained men, attests that they are trusting to “intellect, genius, and talent.” “God’s watchmen will not cry, ‘Peace, peace,’ when God has not spoken peace. The voice of the faithful watchmen will be heard: ‘Go ye out from hence, touch not the unclean.... Be ye clean that bear the vessels of the Lord.’” — @9Testimonies@7, Vol. 5, p. 83.
Ephesians 49:1
@@@^(Before the first edition of this tract was published, they had not given us any hearing. But since then they have. But that it was worse than none at all, is seen from the faithful report in our Tract No. 7 @9Count the Evidences on Both Sides Before Firing for or Against@7.)
Philippians 16:2
@@@^By rejoicing in the Lord while they are passing through “the fires” (trials — 1 Pet. 4:12), the faithful “shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.” Dan. 12:10.
Philippians 20:1
@@@^“And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said unto me Write: for these words are true and faithful. And He said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be My son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Rev. 21:1-8.
Philippians 31:4
@@@^“ . . . I saw . . . a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True . . . He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God . . . And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” Rev. 19:11, 13, 16.
Philippians 44:3
@@@^Characterizing both the king and the kingdom to be established after the “many days,” the prophet Isaiah declares: “ . . . with righteousness shall He judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and He shall smite the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips shall He slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of His loins, and faithfulness the girdle of His reins.
Philippians 49:2
@@@^In regard to the present activities in old Jerusalem, and of the returning of Jews to their homeland, as fulfilling the promises made to the descendants of Jacob, we must not lose sight of the fact that the promises are not to find their fulfillment in the returning to the promised land, of either the Jews who denied and crucified their Lord or their descendants who in nearly two thousand years have failed to accept Him as their Saviour, but rather in God’s bringing there those Jews who are Jews not only by blood but also by faith.@9 @7
Philippians 68:2
@@@^In the first instance, the bad are cast out from among the good that are caught in the net (the message reposing in the church); whereas in the second instance, only God’s faithful are called out from among the sinners in Babylon, there being no tares among them.
Philippians 74:4
@@@^“Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.” 1 Tim. 1:4. “Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.” Tit. 1:14. “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Tim. 4:3, 4.
Philippians 75:1
@@@^“ . . . My speech and my preaching,” says the apostle Paul, “was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” 1 Cor. 2:4, 5.
Philippians 75:2
@@@^Let this counsel warn God’s people away from the precarious practice of hanging their doctrines and their faith on the gilded hooks of perverted interpretations and of renderings from tongues unknown to them (the Hebrew, the Greek, and this, that, or the other) and of interpretative translations that bolster up and serve the interests of theological preconceptions and predilections better than does the authorized version — the version which God, in His providence and in His foreknowledge of finishing His work by the English-speaking world, has given to His people to lead them into His kingdom. Beware, therefore, of the pretentions of pseudo-scholarship, which assume to be more dependable than that which God, Himself, has chosen and wrought in simplicity.
Colossians 35:2
@@@^There is no doubt in the minds of any that the Jewish and Apostolic churches in Christ’s time were keeping the right Sabbath day; and that the zeal which the Roman Emperor, Constantine, had for the Christian faith would have absolutely forbidden him to abolish the Christian’s calendar and to establish another which would annihilate both the Sabbath of creation and their memorial of the resurrection.
Colossians 36:4
@@@^“It is our pleasure (such is the Imperial style) that all the nations, which are governed by our clemency and moderation, should steadfastly adhere to the religion which was taught by St. Peter to the Romans; which faithful tradition has preserved; and which is now professed by the Pontiff Damasus, and by Peter, Bishop of Alexandria, a man of Apostolic holiness. According to the discipline of the Apostles, and the doctrine of the Gospel, let us believe the sole deity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; under an equal majesty, and a pious Trinity. We authorize the followers of this doctrine to assume the title of Catholic Christians; and as we judge, that all others are extravagant mad-men, we brand them with the infamous name of Heretics; and declare that their conventicles shall no longer usurp the respectable appellation of churches.” — @9Gibbon’s Rome@7, Vol. 3, p. 81. (Milman edition.)
1 Thessalonians 4:1
@@@^As every heaven-sent messenger from Adam’s day to this, has been bitterly fought by men professing to be led of God, then the mere fact of opposition against Mrs. White’s writings would not prove her wrong. And inasmuch as she has become the main target of opposition today, as were the prophets in their day, then to determine whether her writings are dangerous and doomed or safe and sound, we must turn our attention to the oracles of God, which reveal the past, present, and future. There her work, right or wrong, must be found. By the prophecies only, can we prove or disprove, know what we believe and believe what we know, and with safety accept or reject any message. Otherwise our faith can be founded only upon uncertainties, — upon a sandy foundation, — which will in the end bring us disappointedly to the Master’s “left hand.” So to make sure of standing at His right hand, we must not fail to give earnest heed to the
