We are living in the great antitypical
day of atonement. We must individually seek God. This is a personal
work. Let us draw near to God, allowing nothing to come into
our efforts that would misrepresent the truth for this time.
Let everyone confess, not his brother's sin, but his own sin.
Let him humble his heart before God and become so filled with
the Holy Spirit that his life will show that he has been born
again. We read: "As many as received Him, to them gave He
power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on
His name." John 1:12.
The gospel of Christ is to be lived, practiced
in the daily life. The servants of God are to be cleansed from
all coldness, all selfishness. Simplicity, meekness, lowliness
are of great value in the work of God. Try
to unite the workers in confidence and love. If you cannot do
this, be right yourselves, and leave the rest with God. Labor
in faith and prayer. Select Christian youth, and train them to
be, not workers with hearts like iron, but workers who are willing
to harmonize.
I pray that the Lord will change the hearts
of those who, unless they receive more grace, will enter into
temptation. I pray that He will soften and subdue every heart.
We need to live in close fellowship with God, that we may love
one another as Christ has loved us. It is by this that the world
is to know that we are His disciples. Let there be no self-exaltation.
If the workers will humble their hearts before God, the blessing
will come. They will all the while be receiving fresh, new ideas,
and there will be a wonderful revival of gospel medical missionary
work.
The great work before us all, as Christians, is to extend Christ's kingdom as rapidly as possible, in accordance with the divine commission. The gospel is to advance from conquest to conquest, from victory to victory. The greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, and they shall take the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever and ever.
