Daniel T. Bourdeau - The Eternal Gospel Church

Abrahamic stock, from which many of the literal Jews have
been cut off through unbelief; to the remnant or last end
of the Christian church. Eph. ii, 11-22; Rom. ii, 28, 29;
ix, 6; xi, 17-21; Gal. iii, 7, 16, 29; John i, 47. p. 108,
Para. 1, [HOLINESS].
The above prophecies and other prophecies of the same
import, not only prove that it is possible to overcome; but
that the remnant church will really and actually overcome,
that they will heed the many scriptures which make it
obligatory for the church living in the last end of time to
develop holy characters, that they may be found of the Lord
without spot and blameless at his coming. p. 108, Para. 2,
[HOLINESS].
Yes, we may fully overcome and be wholly sanctified.
"Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it." 1
Thess. v, 24. He will sanctify you wholly, and preserve you
blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. "Being
confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a
good work in you will finish it until the day of Christ."
Phil. i, 6. God is faithful to accomplish that which he has
promised, and supply our needs in sanctification. Do we
need truth, present truth? This he gives under the
proclamation of the last message of mercy. Do we need the
Spirit's aid? He is more willing to give the Spirit to them
that ask, than earthly parents are to give good gifts to
their children. Are the gifts of the Spirit needed "for the
perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for
the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come into
the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of
God, into a perfect man, into the measure of the stature of
the fullness of Christ?" Eph. iv, 11-16. God himself has
set these gifts in the church, 1 Cor. xii, 28, and
vouchsafes them to those that believe, through the general
commission of his Son to which all professing Christians
fall back for authority to preach the gospel, believe and
be baptized, Mark xvi, 17-20, and through the writings of
the apostles and prophets. See works on Spiritual Gifts and
Miraculous Powers, ably and clearly defending the truth on
this subject. Do we need trials and afflictions to purify
us? We shall find enough of these, and such as are of the
right kind to sanctify us, in endeavoring to live out the
truth. And, "as many as I love," says Jesus, "I rebuke and
chasten." Rev. iii, 19. p. 109, Para. 1, [HOLINESS].
But when inspiration says that God will sanctify us, it is
