When we have thoroughly learned this truth and are fully convinced that there is no alternative principle to guide us in our service to our Master, then we will be established in the faith of Jesus and will not crumble in the hour of extreme pres sure. We will have become a polished and reliable instrument in the Lord’s hands, finally qualified to join the army of those through whom at last the Almighty will finish His work.

The Final Resolution

The light being given to us by the Sovereign of the universe reveals our need for such a close connection with Him that we will see His ways with clarity and power, obviating any excuse or reason for not living in harmony with them. As surely as this is so, the time has come when God is gathering a goodly remnant from every nation, kindred, tongue, and people of those who will respond to His gracious pleas. The stage is being set for the fi nal confrontation with the powers of darkness, whose defenses for once and for all are to be breached, and their fortifications thrown down never to be raised again. So totally and conclusive ly will the issues be resolved that no question will ever again be raised in regard to them. It will be settled forever throughout the universe that the only way into God’s eternal rest is by knowing and following His perfect ways. May the believers in Jesus Christ so learn those ways and make them a practical reality in their lives by establishing and maintaining a living connection with their divine Head, that they will belong to that army through whom the final battle will be won.
