God Wants His Love to Be Testified by Our Believing and Sharing It with Others ㅡ
“Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.” (Romans 11:22)
When connected with God and sincerely seeking His approval, man becomes elevated, ennobled, and sanctified. The work of elevation is one that man must perform for himself through Jesus Christ.
Heaven may give him every advantage so far as temporal and spiritual things are concerned, but it is all in vain unless he is willing to appropriate these blessings and to help himself.
His own powers must be put to use, or he will finally be weighed in the balances and pronounced wanting; he will be a failure so far as this life is concerned, and will lose the future life.
All who will with determined effort seek help from above, and subdue and crucify self, may be successful in this world, and may gain the future, immortal life.
This world is the field of man’s labor. His preparation for the future world depends upon the way he discharges his duties in this world.
He is designed of God to be a blessing to society; and he cannot, if he would, live and die to himself. God has bound us together as members of one family, and this relationship everyone is bound to cherish.
There are services due to others which we cannot ignore and yet keep the commandments of God.
To live, think, and act for self only is to become useless as servants of God.
High-sounding titles and great talents are not essential in order to be good citizens or exemplary Christians.
(Testimonies for the Church Volume 4 339)
