THE OBEDIENT.

By Ellen G. White

All who have determined to serve God will seek to know and to do His will, at whatever cost to themselves. The true servants of God will be made manifest by their willing obedience to all the commandments of their Master. They will not be murmuring and finding fault with the law, but will declare by word and action, “This is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not grievous.” In obeying the law, they are doing that which is well-pleasing in the sight of heaven, and all the promises of the Word of God are pledged to the support of the faithful and obedient. They may hope in His mercy, build on His immutable counsels, obtain the desires of their hearts, because their wills are placed on the side of God’s will. It is their meat to do the will of God and to finish His work. The gates of the eternal city shall open for the nation that has kept the truth. The servants of God shall eat of the tree of life, and enjoy the unsearchable riches of eternity. —E. G. White.
