and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou

- “God gave
men eyes, that they might behold wondrous things out of His law. He gave them
the hearing ear, that they might listen to His message, spoken by the living
preacher. He gave men the talent of speech, that they might present Christ
as the sin-pardoning Saviour. With the heart man believeth unto
righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. {AH 401.1}
- Romans
10:13-14, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be

in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they
have not heard? and how shall they
hear without a preacher?"
- “The Majesty of heaven
identifies His interests with those of the believers, however humble may be
their circumstances. And wherever they are privileged to meet together, it is
appropriate that they speak often one to another, giving utterance to the
gratitude and love that results from thinking upon the name of the Lord.
Thus shall God be glorified as He hearkens and hears, and the testimony meeting will be considered the most precious of all
meetings. . . Let all remember that . . . angels are
recording in the book of remembrance every word that vindicates the
character and mission of Christ. Of those who testify of the love of God, the
Lord says, "They shall be mine,
. . . in that day when I make up my jewels." Malachi 3:17. {Our High Calling 168.3-5}
