Only
Those Who…… From anyone who persists in stubbornness and self will, God will remove His spirit, And another will wear the crown That was for him God accepts only those who will learn of the word, learning lessons of meekness and lowliness of heart, lessons of obedience, willingness to do his work in God's way, not their finite way. . . Christian Leadership, page 11
Teach me
thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth. Psalm 86:11 Who, O Lord, shall stand when Thou appearest? Only those who have clean hands and pure hearts shall abide the day of His coming.. Counsels on Health, page 612
The seal of the living God will be
placed upon those only who bear a
likeness to Christ in character. The Faith I Live By, page 287 Only those who have been diligent students of the Scriptures, and who have received the love of the truth, will be shielded from the powerful delusion that takes the world captive. Great Controversy, Page 625 (1911) Earnestly and untiringly we are to strive to reach God's ideal for us. Not as a penance are we to do this, but as the only means of gaining true happiness. The only way to gain peace and joy is to have a living connection with Him who gave His life for us, who died that we might live, and who lives to unite His power with the efforts of those who are striving to overcome. In Heavenly Places, page 33
Sanctification
is claimed by professed Christians who ignore God's holy rest day for a
spurious* [sabbath.
But God declares that the sanctification
coming from Him is bestowed on those only who honor Him by
obeying His commands. The sanctification claimed by
those who continue in transgression is a
spurious* sanctification. Thus the religious world is deceived by the enemy
of God and man. Maranatha, page 238
*[Lacking authenticity or validity: False: not genuine:]
And in
their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of
God. Revelation 14:5.
Only those who receive the seal of the living God will have the passport through the
gates of the Holy City Maranatha, page 241
"And they also which pierced him." These words apply not only to the men who pierced Christ when He hung on the cross of Calvary, but to those who by evil-speaking and wrong-doing are piercing Him to-day. Maranatha, page 292 Only to those who wait humbly upon God, who watch for His guidance and grace, is the Spirit given. The power of God awaits their demand and reception. This promised blessing, claimed by faith, brings all other blessings in its train. My Life Today, page 47 Whatever
his educational attainments, only he who realizes his accountability
to God, and who is led by the Holy Spirit, can
be an effectual teacher, or
be successful in winning to God those who are brought under his influence. Shall
those who do not heed the divine counsel be acknowledged as leaders in the
Lord's institutions?--God forbid.
How can we regard as safe guides those who manifest a spirit of unbelief, and who, in words and character, fail of revealing true godliness? This Day with God, page 248
Only those who are fully consecrated, who realize the sacredness of God's work, can labor successfully for Him. Not all who claim to be Christ's disciples are disciples indeed. The Saviour is grieved when men work against His plans. His work calls for entire consecration. He can co-operate with those only who have a right understanding of the work He wishes to accomplish, and who submit willingly to His control. Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, July 2, 1901, God does
not own the pleasure-seeker as His follower. Those only
who are self-denying,
and who live lives of sobriety, humility, and
holiness, are true followers of Jesus.
And such cannot enjoy the frivolous, empty conversation of the lover of the
world.
Recreation, page 10
There are in this world only two classes- those who serve God and
those who stand under the
black banner of the prince of darkness.
Those who enter
the gates of the city of God must
in this world live in union with Christ. Manuscript
Releases Volume Twenty, page 154
All who seek to uplift themselves by conforming to the world set an example that is misleading. God recognizes as His those only who are to understand that their power lies in their meekness and lowliness of heart. God will honor those who make Him their dependence. The Kress Collection, page 57 The impartation of the Spirit is the impartation of the life of Christ. Those only who are thus taught of God, those only who possess the inward working of the Spirit, and in whose life the Christ-life is manifested, can stand as true representatives of the Saviour. Sons and Daughters of God, page 33 Divine power is promised, not to those who are strongest, but to those
who are weakest. The Southern Work, page 23
When
matters containing errors that counteract the work of God are printed in our
houses of publication, God holds accountable not only those who allow Satan to
lay a trap for souls, but those who in any way co-operate in the work of
temptation.
