"So run that ye may obtain. (1 Cor.9:24).
Not all who run obtain the prize.
Some miss the crown that is to be given at the end of the race.
Not everyone that seeketh, not everyone that striveth for the mastery, is victorious.
Paul says, If a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully (2 Tim.2:5).
Multitudes have had light upon the truth for this time.
They have understood the claims of the law of God, but because the world keeps Sunday, they reason to themselves that they cannot be singular.
They say, "I will run, I will strive to obtain the crown of life, and the Lord will not refuse to give me the reward simply because I did not keep the Sabbath of the fourth commandment. I will keep Sunday as sacredly as anyone can keep the seventh day."
But the Lord has said, "Yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully."
E.G.W.
