Picture: Counsel #7 — Relevance And The Faith Of Jesus CFL 49.1

Because the three angels’ messages focus on the commandments of God, the faith of Jesus and heart preparation for Jesus’ return, they are enduring and relevant until the end of Earth history. Nothing is to be removed from these precious messages, because they are pillars of truth established by God Himself. All of us should focus on heaven’s sanctuary, where Jesus, our great High Priest, ministers for us in the work of judgment.^[47] Every means of communication should be used to spread this urgent message.
