God’s purpose for His children is that they shall grow up to the full stature of men and women in
Christ. In order to do this they must use aright every power of mind, soul, and body. They cannot
afford to waste any mental or physical strength.
The question of how to preserve the health is one of primary importance. When we study this
question in the fear of God, we shall learn that it is best, for both our physical health and our
spiritual advancement, to observe simplicity in diet. Let us patiently study this question. We need
knowledge and judgment in order to move wisely in this matter. Nature’s laws are not to be resisted,
but obeyed.
Those who have received instruction regarding the evils of the use of flesh meats, tea and coffee,
and rich and unhealthful food preparations, and who are determined to make a covenant with God
by sacrifice, will not continue to indulge their appetite for food that they know to be unhealthful.
God demands that the appetite be cleansed, and that self-denial be practiced in regard to those
things which are not good. This is a work that will have to be done before His people can stand
before Him a perfected people.
The remnant people of God must be a converted people. The presentation of this message is to
result in the conversion and sanctification of souls. We are to feel the power of the Spirit of God in
this movement. This is a wonderful, definite message; it means everything to the receiver, and it is
to be proclaimed with a loud cry. We must have a true, abiding faith that this message will go forth
with increasing importance till the close of time….
