WE MUST LIVE THE EXAMPLE OF CHRIST EVERYDAY, IN OUR LIVES HERE AND NOW!
This world is our school—a school of discipline and training. We are placed here to form characters like the character of Christ, and to acquire the habits and the language of the higher life. Influences opposed to good abound on every hand. The developments of sin are becoming so full, so deep, so abhorrent to God, that soon He will arise in majesty to shake terribly the earth.
So artful are the plans of the enemy, so specious the complications which he brings about, that those who are weak in the faith do not discern his deceptions. They fall into the snares prepared by Satan, who works through human instrumentalities to deceive if possible the very elect. Those only who are closely connected with God will be able to discern the falsehoods and the intrigues of the enemy.
There are in this world only two classes, those who serve God, and those who stand under the black banner of the prince of darkness. Those who enter the gates of the City of God must, in this world, live in union with Christ.
The principles of God's government—the only principles that will endure from everlasting to everlasting—are to be followed by those who are seeking for entrance into the kingdom of heaven. The line of demarcation between those who serve God and those who serve Him not is to be kept clear and distinct.
Let us allow God to control our minds. Let us not say or do anything that will turn a fellow being from the right way. I feel very sad as I think of how few there are who show that they have tasted the deep blessedness of communion with a risen, ascended Savior.
Men and women of the world are striving for the supremacy. God's followers are to keep Christ ever in view, inquiring at every step, “Is this the way of the Lord?” A holy desire to live the life of Christ is to fill their hearts. In Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead. In Him are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Oh, that our people could realize what advantages would be theirs if they would look constantly to Jesus. He is our Alpha and our Omega. Pressing close to Him, and holding communion with Him, we become like Him. Through the transforming power of the Spirit of Christ, we are changed in heart and life.(Australasian) Union Conference Record, February 1, 1904.
Prayer
Our Great God, Father in Heaven, even amidst difficult circumstances, we look to you and we find joy that supersedes circumstances and love that transcends circumstances. In your presence, there is never-ending joy and never-ending, forever pleasure at your right hand.
Our Good Lord, we praise you, for this kind of life, saved from sin, restored in your presence where there’s fullness of joy. May we continue to take and enjoy, from your right hand, pleasures forever and ever and ever. Oh God, lead us in this path of life today. We pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
