Recently, I had the opportunity to visit with a gentleman who has traveled over a large percentage of the world and has become acquainted with people in many countries. He told me there are many troubled populations who realize that things are terribly wrong in this world, and they are trying to figure out what is really happening, and why. They are seeking for truth but do not know where to find it. The Lord has revealed to those who understand the three angels’ messages the answer to the cry of these multitudes.
“A great work is to be accomplished in setting before men the saving truths of the gospel. This is the means ordained by God to stem the tide of moral corruption. This is His means of restoring His moral image in man. It is His remedy for universal disorganization. It is the power that draws men together in unity. To present these truths is the work of the third angel’s message. The Lord designs that the presentation of this message shall be the highest, greatest work carried on in the world at this time.” Testimonies, Vol. 6, 11
However, God needs a certain kind of person to take this message.
“The cause of God in the earth today is in need of living representatives of Bible truth. … God is calling not only upon ministers, but also upon physicians, nurses, colporteurs, Bible workers, and other consecrated laymen of varied talent who have a knowledge of the word of God and who know the power of His grace … .” The Acts of the Apostles, 158, 159
“Everyone must lift the cross, and in modesty, meekness, and lowliness of mind, take up his God-given duties, engaging in personal effort for those around him who need help and light.” The Review and Herald, July 21, 1891
“There may be marked defects in the character of an individual, yet when he becomes a true disciple of Jesus, the power of divine grace makes him a new creature. Christ’s love transforms, sanctifies him.” My Life Today, 257
