 God Wants Us to Possess Ever Advancing Faith ㅡ

“Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 

But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.” (Hebrews 10:39)

Heaven is worth a lifelong, persevering, untiring effort. If you now draw back and become discouraged, you will certainly lose heaven-lose immortal life and the crown of glory that fadeth not away. Those who have a seat at the Saviour’s side on His throne are only that class who have overcome as He overcame. Love for pure, sanctifying truth, love for the dear Redeemer, will lighten the labor of overcoming. His strength will be cheerfully granted to all who are really desirous of it. He will crown with grace and peace every persevering effort made in His name. If your daily study is to glorify God and subdue self, He will make His strength perfect in your weakness, and you may live so that your conscience will not condemn you. You may have a good report from those who are without. A circumspect life will not only bring great profit to your own soul, but will be a bright light to shine upon the pathway of others, and will show them the way to heaven.

(Testimonies for the Church Volume 4 38.1, 38.2)
