In Harmony with Christ

We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not
the grace of God in vain. 2 Cor. 6:1.

All heaven is interested in the work going on in this world, which is to
prepare men and women for the future, immortal life. It is God's plan that
human agencies shall have the high honor of acting as coworkers with Jesus
Christ in the salvation of souls. The Word of God plainly reveals that it is
the privilege of the instrument in this great work to realize that there is
One at his right hand ready to aid him in every sincere endeavor to reach
the highest moral and spiritual excellence in the Master's work. This will
be the case with all who feel their need of help. They should look upon the
work of God as sacred and holy, and should bring to Him, every day,
offerings of joy and gratitude, in return for the power of His grace, by
which they are enabled to make advancement in the divine life. The worker
should ever take humble views of himself, considering his many lost
opportunities for want of diligence and appreciation of the work. He should
not become discouraged, but should continually renew his efforts to redeem
the time. . . .

It is not necessary that anyone should yield to the temptations of Satan and
thus violate his conscience and grieve the Holy Spirit. Every provision has
been made in the Word of God whereby all may have divine help in their
endeavors to overcome. If they keep Jesus before them they will become
changed into His image. All who by faith have Christ abiding in them carry a
power into their labor which makes them successful. They will be constantly
growing more and more efficient in their work, and the blessing of God,
shown in the prosperity of the work, will testify that they are indeed
laborers together with Christ. But however much one may advance in spiritual
life, he will never come to a point where he will not need diligently to
search the Scriptures; for therein are found the evidences of our faith. All
points of doctrine, even though they have been accepted as truth, should be
brought to the law and to the testimony; if they cannot stand this test,
"there is no light in them."

The great plan of redemption, as revealed in the closing work for these last
days, should receive close examination. The scenes connected with the
sanctuary above should make such an impression upon the minds and hearts of
all that they may be able to impress others. All need to become more
intelligent in regard to the work of the atonement, which is going on in the
sanctuary above. When this grand truth is seen and understood, those who
hold it will work in harmony with Christ to prepare a people to stand in the
great day of God, and their efforts will be successful (Testimonies, vol. 5,
pp. 573-575).
