Selected Messages, Volume 3 - Ellen G. White

Herald, November 1, 1881.
Strive for Perfection of Character—1882.—
We can never see our Lord in peace, unless our
souls are spotless. We must bear the perfect image
of Christ. Every thought must be brought into
subjection to the will of Christ. As expressed by
the great apostle, we must come “unto the measure
of the stature of the fulness of Christ.” We shall
never attain to this condition without earnest effort.
We must strive daily against outward evil and
inward sin, if we would reach the perfection of
Christian character.—The Review and Herald, May
30, 1882.
