It is Christ's desire that His children shall reach this place. He longs to reveal thru them the treasure of His grace. He says to them, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." And He says this because He knows that it is possible for them to reach perfection. The life that He lived in this world, they can live. He met the foe single-handed, as they must meet him. He asked for and received power to enable Him to overcome in conflict. And those who walk in God's way have the same power. The same angels that ministered to Christ minister to those also who shall be heirs of salvation. |
The Signs of the Times 12/08 1908 |
Det er Kristi ønske at hans børn skal nå dette sted. Han længes efter at åbenbare dem hans nådes rigdomme. Han siger til dem: "Vær derfor fuldkomne ligesom jeres himmelske fader er fuldkomne." Og han siger dette fordi han ved at det er muligt for dem at nå til fuldkommenhed. Det liv som han har levet i denne verden, kan de leve. Han møder fjenden på egen hånd, ligesom de måtte måde ham. Han beder om og modtager kraft der sætter ham i stand til at overvinde konflikten. Og dem som vandrer på Guds veje har den samme kraft. De samme engle som tjente Kristus, skal tjene dem som skal være frelsens arvinger. |
