Regarding the Light

By H. E. S. Hopkins

H. E. S. HOPKINS
SHALL we forsake God as did ancient Israel? shall we, like them, say, “All that the Lord has said we will do,” and then neglect to put forth every effort to heed his commands, keep his statutes, and regard his laws?
“The Israel of God are in constant danger of mingling with the world, following their customs and practises, and losing all signs of their being the chosen people of God.”
We shall be judged by the light given. If we disregard light on one point, we shall also disregard it on other points.
The Spirit of the Lord has pointed out to us that “in these days of peril we should be exceedingly careful not to reject the rays of light which heaven in mercy sends us; for it is by these we are to discern the devices of the enemy.”
“Those who reject light because it does not harmonize with their inclinations, will be left in darkness to choose the things they love—the things that separate them from the favor of God;” then when further light comes, they are unable to see it. What saith the Scripture? “Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you.”
