Now the God of hope
fill you with all joy and peace in believing,
that ye may abound in hope,
​through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Romans 15:13 KJV

If Jesus had not died our sacrifice and risen again, we should never have known peace, never have felt joy, but only experienced the horrors of darkness and the miseries of despair.

Then let only praise and gratitude
be the language of our hearts.

All our lives we have been partakers of His heavenly benefits, recipients of the blessings of His priceless atonement. Therefore it is impossible for us to conceive the low and helpless state ... from which Christ has raised us. When we feel the pains, the sorrows and bereavements to which we are subject, let not one murmuring thought dishonor our Redeemer.... We cannot determine how much less we suffer than our sins deserve....

The language of the soul
​should be that of joy and gratitude.

If any have dark chapters in their experience let them bury them.
Let this history not be kept bright by repetition....
​Cultivate only those thoughts and those feelings which will produce gratitude and praise....
I entreat of you never to utter one word of complaint,
but to cherish feelings of gratitude and thankfulness. By so doing you will be learning to make melody in your hearts. Weave into your experience the warp and woof, the golden threads, of gratitude.
Contemplate the better land,
where tears are never shed, where temptations and trials are never experienced, where losses and reproaches are never known,
​where all is peace and joy and happiness.

Here your imagination may have full scope.

These thoughts will make you more heavenly-minded,
​will endue you with heavenly vigor, will satisfy your thirsty soul with rivers of living waters, and will set upon your heart the seal of the divine image.
They will fill you with joy and hope in believing and will abide with you as a comforter forever.

Manuscript 9, 1883.

Three Great Leading Points

29/1/2020

0 Comments

 
​In the wilderness of temptation Christ met the great leading temptations that would assail man. There He encountered, single-handed, the wily, subtle foe, and overcame him.
The first great temptation was upon appetite;
the second, presumption;
the third, love of the world.
Satan has overcome his million
​ by tempting them to the indulgence of appetite.
Through the gratification of the taste, the nervous system becomes excited and the brain power enfeebled, making it impossible to think calmly or rationally. The mind is unbalanced. Its higher, nobler faculties are perverted to serve animal lust, and the sacred, eternal interests are not regarded.
When this object is gained,
Satan can come with his two other leading temptations
​and find ready access.
His manifold temptations grow out of these three great leading points.

—Testimonies for the Church 4:44, 1876

Constant Agreement

26/1/2020

0 Comments

 

Holiness is constant agreement with God.

Shall we not strive
to be that which Christ so greatly desires us to be
—Christians in deed and in truth--
that the world may see in our lives
​a revelation of the saving power of truth?
This world is our preparatory school. While here we shall meet with trials and difficulties. Continually the enemy of God will seek to draw us away from our allegiance. But...

while we cleave to Him who gave Himself for us
​we are safe.

In this lower school of earth we are to learn the lessons that will prepare us to enter the higher school, where our education will continue under the personal instruction of Christ. Then He will open to us the meaning of His word.
Shall we not,
​in the few days of probation remaining to us,
act like men and women who are
seeking for life in the kingdom of God,
even an eternity of bliss?
We cannot afford to miss the privilege of seeing Christ face to face and of hearing from His lips the story of redemption.

—The Review and Herald, May 16, 1907.
