[Manna - September 2]
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the Truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently. 1 Peter 1:22
KNOWLEDGE is to be highly esteemed in the
church, and to be regarded as an evidence of progress,
of growth; for none can grow strong in the Lord
and in the power of His might—in grace—unless he
grows also in knowledge.
We properly esteem most
highly those whose love for the Lord and for His
Truth are evidenced by zeal in the study of His Word,
and whose favor with God is evidenced by their being
guided more and more into the deep things of God.
Nevertheless, as in the earthly family we love and
care for the babes and immature, so also in the household
of faith the little ones and the dwarfs are to be
cared for and loved and helped that they may grow
strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Z.'03-207 R3219:6
