Constant Agreement

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.
