Faithful Service

By H. A. ROBINSON

H. A. ROBINSON

CHRIST our Saviour is enlisting men for the great war with sin. Victory is sure. You and I have enlisted under his banner, and he expects faithful service, and that only. At the very start of our Saviour’s work on this earth, he called men for service. His words to Levi were, “Follow me.” This was a call for immediate service. No length of time was stipulated. It was an open call. You will notice that no questions were asked regarding the nature of the work. No reward was requested. We have consecrated ourselves to do certain things for the Lord, and it is only left for us to carry out our vows. We can not do this of ourselves, but the Lord is willing to help us in all things. Record is being kept of all our words and actions, and we shall have to answer for them. We now have the privilege of doing much work for Christ, but soon, if the opportunity is not improved, this privilege will be withdrawn from us.

Everywhere, and all the time, there is work to be done. Daily some are dying for want of a cheering word, a word we might have spoken. Faithful service always brings pleasure to the servant, and also to the Master. “Well done, good and faithful servant; . . . enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.”

The reward of faithful service will be a home in the New Jerusalem. Let us all prove true, and with God’s help go through to the end, for he is able to save. “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.”
