[Songs in the Night - February 12]
We are laborers together with God. I Corinthians 3:9
THE one work of the Gospel age has been the selection
of the spiritual seed of Abraham, through whom
all the families of the earth shall be blessed—shall become
of the earthly seed.
This promise that all the
families of the earth shall be blessed cannot be fulfilled
until the spiritual seed shall be completed.
"If
ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs
according to the promise."
There has been but one
work from first to last.
And so we read; "One soweth,
and another reapeth.
I sent you to reap that whereon
ye bestowed no labor: other men labored, and ye are
entered into their labors." (John 4:35-38)
Whether
it was at the beginning, or now at the close of the age—the time of the reaping—it is all one work, and there
is the one purpose being served, the gathering of the
elect. Z'13-261 R5302:1 (Hymn 275)
