The Universe is Waiting
Go out into
the highways and hedges, and compel them to come
in, that my house may be filled. Luke 14: 23.
In this
speck of a world the whole heavenly universe
manifests the greatest interest, for Christ has paid an infinite
price for the souls of its inhabitants.
Everything
in the universe calls upon those who know the
truth to consecrate themselves unreservedly to the proclamation
of the truth as it has been made known to them in the third
angel's message.... The working of satanic agencies calls every
Christian to stand in his lot.
The work
given us is a great and important one, and in it are
needed wise, unselfish men, men who understand what it means to
give themselves to unselfish effort to save souls. But there is
no need for the service of men who are lukewarm, for such men
Christ cannot use. Men and women are needed whose hearts are
touched with human suffering and whose lives give evidence that
they are receiving and imparting light and life and grace.
The people
of God are to come close to Christ in self- denial
and sacrifice, their one aim being to give the message of mercy
to all the world. Some will work in one way and some in another,
as the Lord shall call and lead them. But they are all to strive
together, seeking to make the work a perfect whole.
The
church will not retrograde while the members seek help
from the throne of grace, that they may not fail to cooperate in
the great work of saving the souls that are on the brink of
ruin. . . .
The heavenly
universe is waiting for consecrated channels,
through which God can communicate with His people, and through
them with the world. God will work through a consecrated, self-
denying church, and He will reveal His Spirit in a visible and
glorious manner, especially in this time, when Satan is working
in a masterly manner to deceive the souls of both ministers and
people. . . .
Will not the
church awake to her responsibility? God is
waiting to impart the Spirit of the greatest missionary the
world has ever known to those who will work with self- denying,
self- sacrificing consecration.
your servant in
CHRIST JESUS,
