Words of Truth

“My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you.” (Gal. 4:19.)
“Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is caused to stumble, and I burn not?” (2 Cor. 11:29.)
“We ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.” (1 John 3:16.)
“If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.” (Mark 9:35; see 10:31, and Matt. 20:27.)
If these “true sayings” were more on our con­sciences and hearts, what power we should have to serve the Church of God, which He hath purchased with His own blood! (Acts 20:28.) When I look at a saint, what do I see?
A son of God. (1 John 3:1, 2.)
A member of Christ. (Eph. 5:30.)
A part of myself. (Rom. 12:5.)
A temple of the Holy Ghost. (1 Cor. 6:19.)
A living stone. (1 Pet. 2:5.)
The workmanship of God. (Eph. 2:10.)
May we all have the mind, heart, and bowels of Christ, about His own, about that, and those, which are His.
