“YE are My witnesses, saith the Lord.” “Fear ye not, neither be afraid: . . . ye are even My witnesses.” Isa. 43: 10, first part; 44: 8.
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matt. 5: 16.
“Peace be unto you: as My Father hath sent Me, even so send I you.” John 20: 21. “Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Joshua 1: 9.
“The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him.” 2 Chron. 16: 9.
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Ps. 46: 1. “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness.” Isa. 41: 10.
“Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.” 2 Chron. 15: 7.
“Fear not: . . . I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.” Gen. 15: 1.
“So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isa. 55: 11.
“Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” Matt. 28: 20.

“Ah Lord God! behold, Thou hast made the heaven and the earth by Thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for Thee.” Jer. 32: 17.
“The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” Luke 18: 27.
“What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee.” Ps. 56: 3. “Let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Gal. 6: 9.
“He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” Ps. 126: 6.
Surely, these precious gems of truth should encourage all to labor diligently for the rescue of perishing souls, ever looking with earnest faith to Him who has promised not only help, but that a sure reward will follow the effort.
