Preparing for Christ’s Coming
Sister M. E. Emans writes from Leipsic, Ohio: “For the first time I take up my pen to say a few words through the Review. I always want to be found on the Lord’s side, striving to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony. I want to strive to enter the strait gate and walk in the narrow way that leadeth unto life. I want to gird on the whole armor, and prepare myself for the battle that I may stand in the last great day. I must have more grace, that I may overcome all my sins; and I know that the Lord will give me grace, and help me overcome if I put my trust in him. O I want to keep all his commandments that I may enter through the gates into the city. I want to stand on mount Zion. Signs are fast fulfilling, and time is fast closing up, and O I want to be prepared for the last great day when Christ will come with power and glory, and will render unto every man according as his works shall be. It is my great desire to have my work done, and well done, that I may share in the welcome, Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.”
