 God Wants Us to Believe the Gospel and Live for Eternal Life ㅡ

 “And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” (Mark 1:15)

 Remember, the day is fast approaching when it will be said: “Give an account of thy stewardship.” (Luke 16:2).

 Can you not discern the signs of the times? Every day that passes brings us nearer the last great important day. 

 Are we also drawing nearer to God? Are we watching unto prayer? 

 It is a solemn thing to die, but a far more solemn thing to live.

 Every thought and word and deed of our lives will meet us again.

 What we make of ourselves in probationary time, that we must remain to all eternity.

 Death brings dissolution to the body, but makes no change in the character.

 The coming of Christ does not change our characters; it only fixes them forever beyond all change.

 If you are Christians you will imitate His example.

 He has laid the foundation, and we are builders together with Him.

 But what material are we bringing to lay on this foundation?

 “Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.” (1 Corinthians 3:13).

 If you are devoting all your strength and talent to the things of this world, your lifework is represented by wood, hay, and stubble, to be consumed by the fires of the last day.

 But unselfish labor for Christ and the future life will be as gold, silver, and precious stones; it is imperishable.

 My brethren and sisters, awake, I beseech you, from the sleep of death.

 It is too late to devote the strength of brain, bone, and muscle to self-serving.

 Let not the last day find you destitute of heavenly treasure.

 (Testimonies for the Church Volume 5 465, 466)
