Perseverance in the Christian Life
By Isaac Sanborn
Dear Bro. White:—Through the tender mercy of our heavenly Father I am able to write you. I feel much encouraged to perseverance in the divine life, placing all my confidence in God, and relying solely upon his precious promises. O how precious is the word of God to those who love him. Dear brethren, let us walk uprightly before the Lord, hearken to what his word says, and do all there commanded. Do not think it strange that in these days God has a peculiar people, for he has always had such a people somewhere. Let us be active, living, working people of God, praying for and exhorting each other daily. May God help us all to show our faith by our works, that when our dear Saviour comes our work may be done and we all receive a crown of life. Yours looking for the soon coming kingdom.
Jefferson, June 25th, 1855. ISAAC SANBORN.
