Come Up Higher

By Editor

Editorial

The grace of Christ is all sufficient that every one, no matter how far he may have wandered from God, may have the image of divinity restored in him. In Christ God calls to every soul, “Come up higher.” Some who profess to call themselves Christians, are content to live in the dark valley, but God calls every one to the mountain top, to the higher life, even the life with Christ in heavenly places. Let every heart that believes in Christ respond to the call.

To accept every ray of light which comes to him, and to walk in that light, both being done by faith, is the very substance of Christian experience. We are responsible neither for the sunrise nor for the sunset, but we are under obligation to walk in the light while we have it. “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” Accept the light and walk in it, and receive the promised blessing.

Is your faith weak? Strengthen it by feeding upon the Word. “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Is your testimony a dry one? Drink fresh draughts from the wells of salvation. “Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him,” said Jesus, “shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” Food and drink are as essential for spiritual life and power as they are for the physical well-being.
