Be Zealous, and Repent.
By John Nevins Andrews
THERE can be no greater folly than to make our reception of reproof the occasion of settling down in sullen unbelief. God sends us reproof and chastening for our sins. It has a voice to us which we ought to heed without delay. By it God says to us, “Be zealous, and repent.” If we would but do this, how excellent would be the result of our humiliations. And why do we not do it? It is simply because our hearts are too proud to yield. Yet we shall have to meet our wrongs in the Judgment, unless we rightly put them away now. We had better yield while it can avail for our salvation. J. N. ANDREWS.
