@@@^These facts forever invalidate the movement that is now afoot to discard from the Christian use, the titles, God, Lord, Christ, etc.; for to give up addressing the Deity by the titles which He has originated in the various languages, would mean defeat for God, and victory for the idols! Such misguided movements should be
John 3:8
@@@^So to make endurable our days in this life, the Lord mercifully leaves us with our natural, stony hearts, to serve Him according to the provisions of divine grace. And though it is not convenient to do right even under this provision, it would be still less convenient for a saint with “a new heart” to live in the kingdoms of this world, for in an unrighteous environment his righteous heart would make him miserable. Neither could he, in the Kingdom of God, with his natural, stony heart, endure its enmity against the law of God, nor enjoy the glory of the Kingdom. In other words, whereas on the one hand with our spiritual hearts, in the midst of the kingdoms of sin, we would be excruciatingly miserable in beholding crime, accidents, corruption, disease, and suffering; on the other hand with our sinful hearts, in the sinless Kingdom, we would be intolerably unhappy with ourselves, and unable to enjoy the sublime bliss of peace and righteousness.
John 4:1
@@@^“God now calls upon you to repent, to be zealous in the work. Your eternal happiness will be determined by the course you now pursue. Can you reject the invitations of mercy now offered? Can you choose your own way? Will you cherish pride and vanity, and lose your soul at last? The word of God plainly tells us that few will be saved, and that the greater number of those even who are called, will prove themselves unworthy of everlasting life. They will have no part in Heaven, but will have their portion with Satan, and experience the second death.
John 4:3
@@@^“Conversion is a work that most do not appreciate. It is not a small matter to transform an earthly, sin-loving mind, and bring it to understand the unspeakable love of Christ, the charms of his grace, and the excellency of God, so that the soul shall be imbued with divine love, and captivated with the heavenly mysteries. When he understands these things, his former life appears disgusting and hateful. He hates sin, and, breaking his heart before God, he embraces Christ as the life and joy of the soul. He renounces his former pleasures. He has a new mind, new affections, new interest, new will; his sorrows, and desires, and love are all new. The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life, which have heretofore been preferred before Christ, are now turned from, and Christ is the charm of his life, the crown of his rejoicing. Heaven, which once possessed no charms, is now viewed in its riches and glory; and he contemplates it as his future home, where he shall see, love, and praise the One who hath redeemed him by His precious blood.
John 6:1
@@@^“In 1930 I saw a book called SRod, Vol. 1. I began reading it, and found it to be a message from God. My heart was stirred. Then the more I read, the more I was convinced that the Lord was speaking to me. I am sure there is nothing but this Message to live for, to follow it through to the end. To me, it is the most wonderful message that ever fell on mortal ears. I want to praise God for it, for it has caused me to lose all interest in everything of this world.
John 7:8
@@@^“With these questions on my mind, yet still feeling sure we were the people having all the truth, I bowed on my knees and prayed as I never prayed before, except the time I offered my first prayer when but a child. I had just listened to my first Bible story concerning the antediluvians. Mother had said: ‘they were drowned because they rejected the message God sent them.’ The thought had sent me to a lonely place in the woods, where I bowed on my knees, as I had seen the Lutheran minister do, and asked God that, if He ever had a message for us on this earth, He would let it be known to me.
John 9:3
@@@^“About ten years ago the Spirit of God revealed this glorious Present Truth message to me, and I realized then, as also now, that I must obey ‘The Still Small Voice’ which speaks to my heart, and points the way. Although the enemy has cast his shadow across my path many times in the past years, God has brought me safely through, and my heart is filled with joy in the Message. Pray for me that I may be faithful, and be found worthy to ‘stand on Mt. Zion with the Lamb.’ ” @3Mrs. E. Crawford@3Glendale, California
John 11:3
@@@^PRINCIPLE ONE: “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. . . Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. . . . Render therefore to all their dues; tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; Fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.”—Romans 13:1, 7.
Acts 31:5
@@@^@9“And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill His will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.” Rev. 17:1-18.@7
Acts 36:2
@@@^The beast’s being driven by the woman, Babylon clearly reveals three important truths: first, that the call of God’s people to come out of Babylon (Rev. 18:4), is a call for them to come out from among the nations that are symbolized by the beast which she is driving (ruling); second, that the called ones are to come out from her sin-filled dominion because it is to be ruined by the plagues; and third, their coming out necessitates their going into a place where sin does not exist and where there is no danger of the plagues’ falling. Thus their coming out of her dominion must be their going into God’s kingdom.
Acts 37:1
@@@^Both those who find themselves in her dominion, and those who find themselves out of it, must then immediately decide to receive the seal of God instead of the mark of the beast if they want to escape the wrath of God. To do this, the former class must @9come@7 out of her, and the latter class must @9stay@7 out of her. Despite the death penalty for taking such a stand (Rev. 13:15), there must be no hesitancy or indecision on the part of either class.
Acts 47:2
@@@^“ . . . Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side and @9bring them into their own land@7: and I will make them @9one nation@7 in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and @9one king@7 shall be king to them all: and they shall be @9no more@7 two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all: neither shall they @9defile@7 themselves @9any more@7 with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with @9any@7 of their transgressions: but I will save them @9out of all@7 their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will @9cleanse@7 them: so shall they be My people, and I will be their God.
Romans 2:5
@@@^Let this renewed effort be a more fervent attempt than ever before to reach every one of the honest in the church, so that the “servants of our God” may quickly be called to their post of duty, the kingdom set up, and the light spread to the uttermost parts of the earth. Then “many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem.” Isa. 2:3.
Romans 7:4
@@@^I am very glad to testify for the Present Truth and the wonderful promises of God. This past summer I prayed for a closer walk with my Lord and for more light. A few months later I received this precious Truth. It has brought increased temptations and trials and has separated us from friends, but God has added grace to endure.
Romans 8:9
@@@^I am not able to buy your books, but I like to read them. I have been studying the Bible for years, and with God’s help I am able to understand much of it. I have been a Sabbath believer for forty years. We believe the Bible and love God’s Word and are living Christian lives. If you care to, you may send your books to the inclosed addresses. @3J. M.
Romans 11:8
@@@^“How easily was Nathanael convinced! And with what pleasure Jesus looked upon his sincere, guileless faith! . . . God never honors unbelief and questioning and doubt. When He speaks, His Word is to be recognized and carried out in the daily actions. And if the heart of man is in living connection with God, the voice that cometh from above will be recognized.” — @9Testimonies on Sabbath School Work@7, pp. 63, 64.
Romans 12:3
@@@^“Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.” “Render . . . to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. Owe no man anything.” Matt. 22:21; Rom. 13:7, 8.
Romans 12:8
@@@^At the command of God, the Israelites, according to their tribes, made standards (flags), and for no other reason than to be loyal to that for which the flag stood. (See Numbers 2.) Clearly, then, to attribute idolatry to one because of his saluting the flag, would be to accuse God of forcing idolatry upon His ancient people.
Romans 15:6
@@@^Tracing the history of God’s church down through the ages, we find that if all had taken the same position as the questioner, the advancing Truth would never have reached the church. If God’s messengers in different periods had failed to agitate their messages in their own churches, how, then, would the various reformatory messages have reached His people? Is He not more interested in them than He is in the heathen? John the Baptist, Jesus, and the apostles, all sacrificed their lives in order to take their messages to their own church. Why, then, should not the @9Rod@7 believers do likewise?
Romans 15:9
@@@^That Israel is “the rod” of His son, is evidenced by Psalms 74:2; 110:2. The Israelites were God’s rod for punishing the heathen, just as Assyria was God’s rod for punishing Israel (Isa. 10:5). So the rod is an ensign of power and government, as well as an instrument of punishment.
