Washed and Made White in the Blood of the Lamb

I appeal to the members of our churches not to disregard the fulfilling of the signs of the times, which say so plainly that the end is near...

...now is the time to watch and pray, to put away all self-indulgence, all pride, all selfishness...

Many of those who profess to be keeping the commandments of God are following inclination instead of duty...

To these careless, indifferent ones, I would say, Your vain thoughts, your unkind words, your selfish acts, are recorded in the book of heaven. The angels ... Sadly they turn away, grieved that you should thus crucify Him [the Redeemer] afresh, and put Him to open shame....

On Christ's coronation day ...the redeemed will shine forth in the glory of the Father and His Son. The angels of heaven, touching their golden harps, will welcome the King, and those who are the trophies of His victory—those who have been washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb.
