Testimony Treasures, Volume 3 - Ellen G. White

me, as I go through this world, to reveal the love that He revealed in giving
Himself for me." Christ bore our sins in His own body on the cross, that God
might be just and yet the justifier of those who believe in Him. There is life,
eternal life, for all who will surrender to Christ.
I want to see the King in His beauty. I want to behold His matchless
charms. I want you to behold Him, too. Christ will lead His redeemed ones
beside the river of life and will explain to them all that perplexed them in this
world. The mysteries of grace will unfold before them. Where their finite
minds discerned only confusion and broken purposes, they will see the most
perfect and beautiful harmony.
Let us serve God with all our capabilities, with all our intelligence. Our
intelligence will increase as we make use of that which we have. Our
religious experience will strengthen as we bring it into the daily life. Thus we
shall climb round after round of the ladder reaching to heaven, until at last
we step from off the topmost round into the kingdom of God. Let us be
Christians in this world. Then we shall have eternal life in the kingdom of
glory.
Unity existing among the followers of Christ is an evidence that the
Father has sent His Son to save sinners. It is a witness to His power; for
nothing short of the miraculous power of God can bring human beings with
their different temperaments together in harmonious action, their one aim
being to speak the truth in love.
God's warnings and counsels are plain and decided. As we read the
Scriptures and see the power for good that there is in unity and the power for
evil that there is in disunion, how can we fail to receive the word of God into
our hearts? Suspicion and distrust are as evil leaven. Unity bears witness to
the power of the truth.
