======================================================================== BE FAITHFUL by George Fox ======================================================================== Summary: Be faithful to God's presence in your life and in your meetings, and you will grow up in love, virtue, and immortality. Topics: "Faithfulness", "Spiritual Growth" Scripture References: Galatians 5:22, Ephesians 4:2, Colossians 3:14, 1 John 1:7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ George Fox emphasizes the importance of waiting in the measure of the life of God to grow in love, virtue, and immortality, uniting hearts together in that which does not fade. He urges the congregation to let the light of God condemn anything contrary to it, as defilement is outside of God's kingdom. Walking in the light leads to unity among the Children of the Light and with the Son of God. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ THEREFORE wait (I do warn you all in the Presence of the Living God) in the Measure of the Life of God, in it to grow up in Love, in Vertue, and in Immortality, in that which doth not fade, which joins and unites your Hearts together; and that all that may with the Light be Condemned, which is contrary to it. For that which doth defile, is out of God's Kingdom, and is with the Light seen and condemned; in which Light the Children of the Light walk, and have Unity one with another, and with the Son of God, from whence it comes. And, My Dear Friends, Keep your Meetings, and ye will feel the Seed of God among you all, tho' never a Word be spoken among you. But be faithful, that ye may Answer that of God in every one. And do not neglect your Talents, but be faithful in the Power and Life of God, which ye have received: And dwell in the Life and Power, and Love of God, one with another.
