559 were He in his place. In every stroke of work that he performs, in his words and in his character, he should be Christlike.--MS 96, 1902. {2MCP 558.4} Unity, but Not at the Cost of Conformity.--Some who profess to be loyal to God's law have departed from the faith and have humiliated His people in the dust, representing them to be one with worldlings. God has seen and marked this. The time has come when, at any cost, we are to take the position that God has assigned to us. {2MCP 559.1} Seventh-day Adventists are now to stand forth separate and distinct, a people denominated by the Lord as His own. Until they do this, He cannot be glorified in them. Truth and error cannot stand in copartnership. Let us now place ourselves where God has said that we should stand.... We are to strive for unity but not on the low level of conformity to worldly policy and union with the popular churches.--Lt 113, 1903. {2MCP 559.2} A Line of Demarcation.--A deep and thorough work of reform is needed in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The world is not to be allowed to corrupt the principles of God's commandment-keeping people. Believers are to exert an influence that bears witness to the power of heavenly principles. Those who unite with the church must give evidence of a change of principle. Unless this is done, unless the line of demarcation between the church and the world is carefully preserved, assimilation to the world will be the result. {2MCP 559.3} Our message to the church and to our institutions is: "Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 3:2). The attributes of Christ's character are to be cherished, and these are to become a power in the lives of God's people.--MS 78, 1905. {2MCP 559.4} Custom Is at War With Nature.--Our artificial civilization is encouraging evils destructive of sound principles. Custom and fashion are at war with nature. The 560 practices they enjoin and the indulgences they foster are steadily lessening both physical and mental strength and bringing upon the race an intolerable burden. Intemperance and crime, disease and wretchedness, are everywhere.--MH 125, 126 (1905). {2MCP 559.5} When Principle Is Not Violated, Follow Custom.-- When the practices of the people do not come in conflict with the law of God, you may conform to them. If the workers fail to do this, they will not only hinder their own work, but they will place stumbling blocks in the way of those for whom they labor and hinder them from accepting the truth.--RH, Apr 6, 1911. {2MCP 560.1} I beg of our people to walk carefully and circumspectly before God. Follow the customs in dress as far as they conform to health principles. Let our sisters dress
plainly, as many do, having the dress of good, durable material, appropriate for this age, and let not the dress question fill the mind. Our sisters should dress with simplicity. They should clothe themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety. Give the world a living illustration of the inward adorning of the grace of God.--MS 167, 1897. (CG 414.) {2MCP 560.2} Separate From Worldly Customs--As God made known His will to the Hebrew captives, to those who were most separate from the customs and practices of a world lying in wickedness, so will the Lord communicate light from heaven to all who will appreciate a "Thus saith the Lord." To them He will express His mind. Those who are least bound up with worldly ideas, are the most separate from display and vanity and pride and love of promotion, who stand forth as His peculiar people, zealous of good works--to these He will reveal the meaning of His word.--Lt 60, 1898. (CW 101, 102.) {2MCP 560.3} Reason for Nonconformity (a message to believers). --Why, as professing Christians, are we so mixed and 561 mingled with the world till we lose sight of eternity, till we lose sight of Jesus Christ, and till we lose sight of the Father? Why, I ask you, are there so many families destitute of the Spirit of God? Why are there so many families that have so little of the life and love and likeness of Jesus Christ? It is because they do not know God. If they knew God, and if they would behold Him by faith in Jesus Christ, who came to our world to die for man, they would see such matchless charms in the Son that they by beholding would become changed to the same image. Now you see the wrong of conforming to the world.--MS 12, 1894. {2MCP 560.4} True Principles Circulating Through Entire System.--Conformity to the world can be prevented by the truth, by feeding on the Word of God, by its principles circulating through the entire life current and working out that word in the character. Christ exhorts us by the apostle John to "love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him" (1 John 2:15). This is plain language, but it is God's measure of every man's character.--MS 37, 1896. {2MCP 561.1} BOOKS / 2MCP - Mind, Character, and Personality Volume 2 (1977) / Chap. 61 - The Vital Function of God's Laws (A) The Decalogue Chap. 61 - The Vital Function of God's Laws (A) The Decalogue The knowledge of Guilt.--The knowledge which God did not want our first parents to have was a knowledge of guilt. And when they accepted the assertions of Satan,
