Labourers Together with God

EGW

“For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.” 1 Corinthians 3:9. AUCR November 23, 1908, par. 1

When we follow plans of the Lord's devising, we are “labourers together with God.” Whatever our position—whether presidents of conferences, ministers, teachers, students, or lay members—we are held accountable by the Lord for making the most of our opportunities to enlighten those in need of present truth. And one of the principal agencies He has ordained for our use, is the printed page. AUCR November 23, 1908, par. 2

My brethren and sisters, let us not become weary in well-doing. During His earthly ministry, Christ travelled on foot from place to place, wearied as He ofttimes was, His human nature taxed to the uttermost, yet He was ever ready to heal all who came unto Him, and to teach them the way of life eternal. Though often physically exhausted, he left not His work. There was a world to be saved. He made every sacrifice possible in order that light and truth might shine forth. AUCR November 23, 1908, par. 3

The Lord God of Israel desires us to link up in holy union with Himself, and exercise living faith that works by love, and purifies the soul. He desires that we shall be a working corps of labourers, endowed with adaptability for His service; and unto such He promises power to win a glorious victory for Him. AUCR November 23, 1908, par. 4

Had the Lord's plan been followed, His name would have been glorified, and many spiritual victories would have been won. AUCR November 23, 1908, par. 5
