Page 43 of 563 John 40:2
@@@^Those who do not sense this great need are yet blind to the church’s undone condition, and to the Lord’s holiness. Just a firm outward faith in the message is not enough; its inward work in our lives is the all-essential and supreme work that must take place in the lives of all of us before we can conscientiously and profitably celebrate the Lord’s supper. Let us hasten that glad day.
3 John 41:1
@@@^In the scripture in question, the apostle Paul is urging the Christian to be faithful and full of zeal in the duties which God has placed upon him, and not to neglect his privileges and opportunities, nor to come short of his endowments and capabilities to multiply his “talents.”
3 John 48:1
@@@^Since any true labor for Christ is purely a labor of love, all true-hearted Davidians ever have uppermost in their thoughts but one thing—the saving of souls. They leave the matter of wages entirely to the “Householder” in the certain knowledge that when “even comes” He will give them “whatsoever is right.” The faithful whom the Master hires, go forth to labor without knowing what they are to receive at day’s end. Therefore His laborers whom He is sending into His vineyard now, at the eleventh hour, must learn that the work is to be carried out altogether in His, not man’s way.
3 John 50:1
@@@^We see no reason why those who have lately accepted the Advent faith should be neglected. As a matter of fact, it would be an almost impossible task to segregate them. It is therefore not only right but necessary to take advantage of every opportunity to present the Truth to Seventh-day Adventists, young or old in the Third Angel’s Message. Beyond this the responsibility rests with the Lord. He has promised to take the reins in His own hands and to cut the work short in righteousness.
3 John 50:4
@@@^If we are not working for sinners in Zion, then we had better indeed be working for sinners in the world. However, if we truly understand the situation, and believe in faithfully executing our trust, we should be working for the sinners in Zion with such an all-consuming burden that we would at present have neither time nor energy left to work for the sinners in the world, save for such as those represented by the “Syrophenician” woman (Mark 7:26). Then we shall be doing our full part in the calling of the 144,000 to their task, and thus hastening the time of the ingathering of the great multitude from the world—the day of the Loud Cry.
3 John 53:1
@@@^All of us must guard our heavenly treasure with the utmost care, and preserve our faith by studying to give an answer to every man that asks us a reason of the hope that is in us, but not by challenging him to ply us with deceitful questions, and then debating with him.
3 John 54:1
@@@^Ever bear in mind that “the efforts made to retard the progress of truth will serve to extend it” (@9Testimonies@7, Vol. 5, p. 454), and that you will be promoted with it if you faithfully keep in the middle of the road, not running ahead with a zeal that is not according to knowledge.
3 John 58:2
@@@^“Christ is the same compassionate physician @9now@7,” declares the Spirit of Prophecy, “that He was during His earthly ministry. In Him there is healing balm for every disease, restoring power for every infirmity. His disciples in @9this time@7 are to pray for the sick as verily as the disciples of old prayed. And recoveries will follow; for ‘the prayer of faith shall save the sick.’”—@9Ministry of Healing@7, p. 226.
3 John 87:1
@@@^Thus reason forces the conclusion that if one is not obliged to receive charity help in addition to his income (whatever its source) to cover his living expenses, then for him not to pay tithe is to cheat Himself of the abundant blessing which attends a faithful regard for the royal privilege of being one of God’s stewards.
3 John 89:3
@@@^This fact is very clearly borne out in another vision in which she was taken to a planet that had seven moons, where she “saw good old Enoch.” The place was so beautiful and her desire for it so keen that she begged the angel to let her stay there. “Then the angel said, ‘You must go back and if you are faithful, you, with the 144,000 shall have the privilege of visiting all the worlds and viewing the handiwork of God.’”—@9Early Writings@7, p. 40.
Jude 17:2
@@@^“NOW CONCERNING VIRGINS I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
Jude 26:1
@@@^Both he who believes and he who believes not should not meddle with each other’s business. They should control their tongues, and should be charitable each to the other. Let each keep peace with all men. Especially should the believers do so with those who are of the household of faith.
Jude 32:2
@@@^God’s authority being supreme and absolute, “altogether-Christians” will ever prefer homage to the King of heaven and earth, while faithfully seeking to render “unto Caesar the things which be Caesar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s.” Luke 20:25. “ . . . to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.” Rom. 13:7.
Revelation 12:4
@@@^“Who can truthfully say, ‘Our gold is tried in the fire; our garments are unspotted by the world’? I saw our Instructor pointing to the garments of so-called righteousness. Stripping them off, He laid bare the defilement beneath. Then He said to me: ‘Can you not see how they have pretentiously covered up their defilement and rottenness of character? “How is the faithful city become an harlot?” My Father’s house is made a house of merchandise, a place whence the divine presence and glory have departed! For this cause there is weakness, and strength is lacking.’” — @9Testimonies@7, Vol. 8, p. 250.
Revelation 19:1
@@@^Nevertheless, still another baffling question requires an answer: If Christ’s query, “When the Son of man cometh, @9shall He find faith@7 on the earth” (Luke 18:8), also His statement, “Fear not, @9little flock@7” (Luke 12:32), mean that few are to be saved and found living when He comes for His own, then how can there be an innumerable multitude? — Though at first glance the question propounds a paradox, it is quickly resolved, and the idea that only a few living saints are to meet Him in “the air” is effectively dissipated when account is taken of the facts that “the harvest truly is plenteous” (Matt. 9:37), that it is “the end of the world” (Matt. 13:39), and that the very term “harvest” itself denotes a larger gathering than at any previous “season.”
Revelation 29:1
@@@^For some tempting mess of pottage they let slip this sovereign privilege! Sadly, they are even now letting it slip away to the Jacob class, the faithful laity, the 144,000 future servants of God (Rev. 7:3; 5:10, @9Testimonies@7, Vol. 5, pp. 475, 476)
Revelation 48:1
@@@^“When I saw those who managed and directed, running into the dangers shown me, of which I had warned them in public, and also in private conversation and letters, a terrible burden came upon me. That which had been shown me as a place where the suffering sick @9among us@7 could be helped, was one where sacrifice, hospitality, faith, and piety should be the ruling principles....
Revelation 65:3
@@@^“And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” Isa. 11:1-9.
Revelation 67:2
@@@^At the outset of these coincidences, we are reminded that when Abraham decided to follow the Lord out of Ur, idolatry prevailed throughout the Chaldean world. Likewise, it is held by the Protestant world that at the time Martin Luther decided to be a priest rather than a lawyer, idolatry, against which he protested, prevailed even throughout the Christian world. And the doctrine which he preached being the same as Abraham’s, “the just shall live by faith,” it is already seen that Abraham and the world in his time find their counterparts in Luther and the world in his time.
Revelation 69:1
@@@^Moreover, this notable date, 1890, was reached just two years after the doctrine of “righteousness by faith” was first brought to the attention of the Denomination at the historical 1888 Minneapolis Camp Meeting, and then and there rejected by nearly all of those who were present. Then during the ensuing two years, it was rejected by the whole Denomination. (See @9Christ Our Righteousness@7, pp. 41-55, 1941 edition; @9Testimonies to Ministers@7, pp. 79, 80.) This is one of the reasons that the church was in 1890 left to enter a forty-year antitypical wilderness wandering, matching Moses’ attempt and failure to deliver ancient Israel; also his running away into the wilderness. (See @9Forty Years in the Wilderness@7, by Elder Taylor Bunch, pp. 15-17.)
