401. Excerpts From a Testimony

People could achieve much more if only they would put in more effort. You must take responsibility for your own life. Be conscious of how you use your time! Be conscious of how you listen! Be conscious of how you manage all of your affairs, so that God can look upon you and be well pleased. Seek God’s honor in everything you do.

Present your body as a vessel of honor. Your body is the body that Christ has here on earth. Christ needs arms and legs—people—to carry out His work. He wants to do this through you and me. We can become a powerful team through the preaching of the Word if we will work. Absolutely everything we desire to possess of God’s kingdom must be taken by force. Let us present our bodies; let us do something. Let us work; let us be co-workers. Let us all labor together; do not just preach and chastise! Be an example! Run on ahead so that there is a shining path of light in your wake.
