Cleaning Needed
Many people do not consider it necessary to work diligently on themselves to use their skills with a noble purpose at all times and in all circumstances. They are not afraid of God, therefore their thoughts are far from purity and holiness.
All our thought and every action is known to heaven. We can hide our intentions and actions from our friends and acquaintances, but in the eyes of heavenly angels they are like an open book. Angels are sent to serve those who seek to defeat all bad habits in themselves and avoid Satan's networks.
We often underestimate the influence of small evil acts and concessions to evil in the formation of our character.
In the Word of God, the highest and highest principles of life are open to us. They are given to strengthen our desire for good, to control and harmonize our minds, and to inspire us to achieve a high ideal.
In the stories of Joseph, Daniel, and their companions, we see how the golden chain of truth can connect young people to the throne of God. Nothing could compel them to stray from the path of purity. They valued the mercy of God above the mercy of the princes of the earth, and God loved them and spread his cloak over them.
Certainly, in that story it is revealed that they did not want to worship any human authority that could somehow detract from the authority of God. The force from above strengthened them by obeying only the living God.
Try to follow the example of these noble young people in your life. Don't be ashamed of your beliefs: turn them into a visual spectacle in front of people and in front of angels. Overcome the feeling of false modesty and false prudence, which offers you an opposite course of action to the one we are talking about here.
The prudence of his words and deeds, his Christian decency and piety is an eloquent testimony to his faith; Give Christ first place in the temple of your soul and put all your skills at your feet; to use them in the service of his glorious and great work.
Both for the sake of this storm, and for the sake of the future, eternal life, it is better to dedicate ourselves fully to the truth, so that the world knows our beliefs.
Many have not fully devoted themselves to the work of God, and their hesitation is a source of weakness and an obstacle to others. They do not have sound principles and lack dedication. Therefore, the waves of temptation overwhelm them and they lose sight of the truth, without trying to conquer their weakness and, through the imputed justice of Christ, perfect their character.
The world waits and wants to know what each person is capable of. He whose life is the embodiment of firm, definite and solid principles will have a conquering influence over his comrades, he will see in him a true Christian.
Many do not think how great each of us is good or bad. Every student in the school of Christ must know that the principles he perceives have a transforming effect on his character. He who accepts Christ as his personal Savior will love him and all those for whom he died. Christ will become the source of water that flows into eternal life.
