Living the life of the Saviour, overcoming every selfish desire, fulfilling bravely and cheerfully our duty to God and to those around us—this makes us more than conquerors. This prepares us to stand before the great white throne free from spot or wrinkle, having washed our robes of character, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.—The Signs of the Times, March 30, 1904. (RC 37.6) MC VC

The church that Christ presents before the throne of His glory is without “spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing.” Ephesians 5:27. Do you want to be among those who have washed their robes of character in the blood of the Lamb? then, “cease to do evil; learn to do well”(Isaiah 1:16); walk in the commandments and ordinances of your God blameless. You are not to ask whether it suits your convenience to keep the truth of heaven. You are to take up your cross and follow Jesus, cost what it may. You will find that His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.—The Review and Herald, June 22, 1911. (RC 54.6) MC VC
