Christ Our Righteousness

Back to Safe Anchorage

Next came a message telling just what was necessary in order to repair the cable the enemy had cut, and thus bring us back to safe anchorage. Read it with care: COR 37.1

“It is not enough to be familiar with the arguments of the truth alone. You must meet the people through the life that is in Jesus. Your work will be made wholly successful if Jesus is abiding with you, for He has said, ‘Without Me ye can do nothing.’ Jesus stands knocking, knocking at the door of your hearts, and yet, for all this, some say continually, ‘I cannot find Him.’ Why not? He says, ‘I stand here knocking.’ Why do you not open the door, and say, ‘Come in, dear Lord’? I am so glad for these simple directions as to the way to find Jesus. If it were not for them, I should not know how to find Him whose presence I desire so much. Open the door now, and empty the soul temple of the buyers and sellers, and invite the Lord to come in. Say to Him, ‘I will love Thee with all my soul. I will work the works of righteousness. I will obey the law of God.’ Then you will feel the peaceful presence of Jesus.”-The Review and Herald, August 28, 1888. COR 37.2
