Christ, in His mediatorial capacity, gives
to His servants the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is the efficiency
of the Spirit that enables human agencies to be representatives
of the Redeemer in the work of soul saving. That we may unite
with Christ in this work we should place ourselves under the
molding influence of His Spirit. Through the power thus imparted
we may co-operate with the Lord in the bonds of unity as laborers
together with Him in the salvation of souls. To everyone who
offers himself to the Lord for service, withholding nothing,
is given power for the attainment of measureless results.
The Lord God is bound by an eternal pledge
to supply power and grace to everyone who is sanctified through
obedience to the truth. Christ, to whom is given all power in
heaven and on earth, co-operates in sympathy with His instrumentalities--the
earnest souls who day by day partake of the living bread, "which
cometh down from heaven." John 6:50. The church on earth,
united with the church in heaven, can accomplish all things.
