A kind, courteous Christian is the most powerful argument that can be produced in favor of Christianity. - Ellen Gould White

A wise purpose underlay every act of Christ’s life on earth. Everything He did was important in itself and in its teaching.

They must have His grace, the Spirit of Christ, to help their infirmities, or they cannot resist evil. Jesus loves to have us come to Him just as we are, sinful, helpless, dependent. We may come with all our weakness, our folly, our sinfulness, and fall at His feet in penitence. It is His glory to encircle us in the arms of His love and to bind up our wounds, to cleanse us from all impurity.

Faith in the atonement and intercession of Christ will keep us steadfast and immovable amid the temptations that press upon us. . . . Let us contemplate the glorious hope that is set before us, and by faith lay hold upon it. — Lift Him Up, p. 331.
