True Saint
Quotations from the writings of Ellen G. White with the phrase . . .
|
It was represented to me like children asking a blessing of their earthly parents who love them. They ask something that the parent knows will hurt them; the parent gives them the things that will be good and healthful for them, in the place of that which they desired. I saw that every prayer which is sent up in faith from an honest heart, will be heard of God and answered; and the one that sent up the petition will have the blessing when he needs it most, and it will often exceed his expectations. Not a prayer of a true saint is lost if sent up in faith, from an honest heart. -- Vol. 1, p. 120. - {GW92 114.1} |

All heaven is in activity, and the angels of God are waiting to co-operate with those who will devise plans by which the souls for whom Christ died may hear the glad tidings of salvation. Angels who minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation, are saying to every true saint, "There is work for you to do. Go, stand and speak to the people all the words of this life." {RH, May 13, 1902 par. 15} |

Children ask their parents for something they desire: the parent knows it will injure them, and gives them the things that will be good and healthy for them in the place of that which they desired. Not a prayer of the true saint is lost, if sent up from an honest heart. {RH, June 12, 1855 par. 9} |

There are ways in which all may do personal service for God. Angels are saying to every true saint, "There is work for you to do." "Go, stand and speak to the people all the words of this life." Acts 5:20. {SW, July 3, 1902 par. 8} |

As agents for Jesus, Christians are to be laborers together with God. Why, then, are so many acting as did Meroz, doing nothing, while those sitting in darkness receive no light, no help from those who claim to be the children of God? How much do such idlers resemble the angel who is represented as flying in the midst of heaven, proclaiming the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus? Christ is saying to these idlers in the market place, "Go Work Today in my Vineyard." Angels who minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation, are saying to every true saint: "Go stand and speak. . . . to the people the words of this life." If those addressed would obey this injunction, the Lord would prepare the way before them, putting them in possession of means whereby they could go. {SW, October 10, 1899 par. 1} |

Angels who minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation, are saying to every true saint. There is work for you to do. "Go, stand and speak . . . to the people the words of this life." If those addressed would obey this injunction, the Lord would prepare the way before them, putting them in possession of means whereby they could go. M.S.-152-1897. {PH005 26.3} |

Christ is saying to . . . idlers in the market-place, "Go work today in My vineyard." Angels who minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation, are saying to every true saint, There is work for you to do. "Go, stand and speak . . . to the people all the words of this life." If those addressed would obey this injunction, the Lord would prepare the way before them, putting them in possession of means whereby they could go. If they did no more they could diffuse the knowledge which they already have, and present Jesus as the only Mediator. . . . {PH078 28.1} |
