Jesus Gives Us Precious Duties That Invigorate Ourselves and Others and Strengths to Perform Them ㅡ
“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
(Philippians 3:13,14)
Let nothing obstruct your progress in the way to everlasting life.
Your eternal interest is at stake. There must be a thorough work wrought in you. You must be fully converted, or you will fail of heaven.
But Jesus invites you to make Him your strength, your support. He will be to you a present help in every time of need.
He will be to you as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
Let it not be your great anxiety to succeed in this world, but let the burden of your soul be:
How shall I secure the better world? what have I to do to be saved? In saving your own soul, you save others. In lifting yourself, you lift others.
In fastening your grasp upon the truth and upon the throne of God, you aid others to fix their trembling faith upon His promises and His eternal throne.
The position you must come into is to value salvation dearer than earthly gain, to count everything but loss that you may win Christ.
The consecration on your part must be entire. God will admit of no reserve, of no divided sacrifice; you can cherish no idol.
You must die to self and to the world. Renew your consecration to God daily.
Everlasting life is worth a lifelong, persevering, untiring effort.
(Testimonies for the Church Volume 2 48.2)
