CONSECRATION MUST BE TO GOD ONLY This same figure of baptism in water is for you and me, and it becomes an outward confession that whatever is written in the Book concerning us we will be glad to do. We rejoice to do the will of God, and desire that His will may be done in us, even as it was done in our Master. This is the only kind of sacrifice that God will accept. One says, I have…
BUT FEW FIND THE NARROW WAY God did not choose angels for this wonderful High Calling; but all who have received this Call and the begetting of the Spirit, that they may become joint-heirs with Christ, must every one receive chastening, disciplining, testing, because of the great and honorable and exalted position to which God has called them.
