Spalding and Magan's Unpublished Manuscript Testimonies - Ellen G. White

Christians are to represent Christ. They are to
reveal his spirit and character. Those who are
imbued with His Spirit will have an intense love
for every one for whom he died, and will work
earnestly to bring into the heavenly garner a
harvest of souls. Filled with his Spirit, they will be
animated with the same desire to save sinners that
animated Christ in his lifework as a missionary
sent of God.
The enemy of Christ is intensely active. He
seeks to take possession of human minds, that he
may bring in division, discord, and a party spirit.
He seeks to create division among the people of
God, that they may be weakened, and that their
influence for good on the world may be lessened.
He presents scientific propositions that are contrary
to Christ's teaching, and contrary to the faith and
the doctrines that have been outlined before us ever
since the first proclamation of this message,--
doctrines that are sustained by the Scriptures. Our
message is to be definitely proclaimed. We are to
exalt the truths that were given to John on the Isle
of Patmos, showing that the end is near.
