... what must I do to be saved? Acts 16:30
There is an intense desire on the part of many to startle the world with something original, that shall lift the people into a state of spiritual ecstasy, and change the present order of experience.
There is certainly great need of a change in the present order of experience; for the sacredness of present truth is not realized as it should be,
--seeking God individually for his blessing,
--by pleading with him for his power,
--by fervently praying that his grace may come upon us,
--and that our characters may be transformed.
This is the change we need to-day, and for the attainment of this experience we should exercise persevering energy and manifest heart-felt earnestness. We should ask with true sincerity, "What shall I do to be saved?"
R&H 1892 E.G.W.
"We are in continual danger of getting above the simplicity of the gospel.
There is an intense desire on the part of many to startle the world with something original, that shall lift the people into a state of spiritual ecstasy, and change the present order of experience.
There is certainly great need of a change in the present order of experience; for the sacredness of present truth is not realized as it should be,
--but the change we need is a change of heart,--
and can only be obtained by --seeking God individually for his blessing,
--by pleading with him for his power,
--by fervently praying that his grace may come upon us,
--and that our characters may be transformed.
This is the change we need to-day, and for the attainment of this experience we should exercise persevering energy and manifest heart-felt earnestness. We should ask with true sincerity, "What shall I do to be saved?"
