Jesus, the Armor of Light ㅡ

 “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.”

 (Romans 13:11~12)

 We are now upon the very borders of the eternal world, but it is the purpose of the adversary of souls to lead us to put far off the close of time.

Satan will in every conceivable manner assail those who profess to be the commandment-keeping people of God and to be waiting for the second appearing of our Saviour in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

He will lead as many as possible to put off the evil day and become in spirit like the world, imitating its customs.

I felt alarmed as I saw that the spirit of the world was controlling the hearts and minds of many who make a high profession of the truth.

Selfishness and self-indulgence are cherished by them, but true godliness and sterling integrity are not cultivated.

In consideration of the shortness of time we as a people should watch and pray, and in no case allow ourselves to be diverted from the solemn work of preparation for the great event before us.

(Testimonies for the Church Volume 4 306)
