“不与我相合的，就是敌我的；不同我收聚的，就是分散的”（太12:30）。{FH.98.1}
悔改一半的人成了半心半意的基督徒。他们是不结果子的树。基督在他们身上看不到果子：祂发现只有叶子。……{FH.98.2}
若是可以同时侍奉基督和自我，大批的人就会加入天路旅客的行列。但耶稣需要的不是这种人。祂的圣工不需要这种信徒。{FH.98.3}
真正跟从基督的人会用他们的知识使别人也接受基督的恩典。他们把灯加满了油，就出去光照那些在黑暗中的人。这种工人会见到许多人归向主。新的真理不断向他们展开，他们既接受了，就分赠出去。{FH.98.4}
那些已挣脱罪恶锁链，伤心痛悔地寻求主，又蒙主垂听其迫切求义之呼吁的人，是绝不致冷淡而无生气的。他们认识到自己在救灵的工作中有本分要尽。他们为拯救生灵而警醒、祈祷、作工。他们既受圣灵的塑造，在基督徒品格上就有了稳定的深度和广度，得到持久的属灵快乐。他们既跟随基督的脚踪，就认同祂舍己的计划。这样的基督徒不会是冷淡而无动于衷的。他们的心充满了对罪人的无私之爱，放弃了所有属世的野心和自私的追求。他们既与上帝深奥的事相接触，就越来越象救主。他们因衪的得胜而欢腾，充满了衪的喜乐。他们日复一日在基督里长大成人，满有成年男女的身量。{FH.98.5}
基督不在时我们做祂托付我们去做之工的方式，会决定我们将来的命运。……家主基督已去为我们在天城预备住处。我们在等候祂回来。但愿我们在祂不在的时候忠心地做祂交在我们手中的工作，藉此来尊荣祂。我们要等候、警醒、作工，为祂回来作预备。——《时兆》，1902年7月9日。{FH.98.5}
Gathering or Scattering, March 27
He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.?Matthew 12:30.?{FH 98.1}[1]
Half-converted men and women make halfhearted Christians. They are fruitless trees. On them Christ looks in vain for fruit; He finds nothing but leaves....?{FH 98.2}[2]
If Christ and self could be served at the same time, a large number would join the ranks of those who are journeying heavenward. But it is not for such as these that Jesus calls. His cause does not need such adherents.?{FH 98.3}[3]
Christ’s true followers use their knowledge to make others the recipients of His grace. With their lamps filled with holy oil, they go forth to give light to those in darkness. Such workers see many souls turning to the Lord. New truths continually unfold to them, and as they receive, they impart.?{FH 98.4}[4]
Those for whom the fetters of sin have been broken, who have sought the Lord with brokenness of heart and have obtained answer to their yearning requests for righteousness, are never cold and spiritless. They realize that they have a part to act in the work of soul-saving. They watch and pray and work for the salvation of souls. Molded and fashioned by the Holy Spirit, they gain depth and breadth and stability of Christian character. They gain enduring spiritual happiness. Walking in Christ’s footsteps, they become identified with Him in His self-sacrificing plans. Such Christians are not cold and unimpressible. Their hearts are filled with unselfish love for sinners. They put away from them all worldly ambition, all self-seeking. Contact with the deep things of God makes them more and more like their Savior. They exult in His triumphs; they are filled with His joy. Day by day they are growing up to the full stature of men and women in Christ Jesus....?{FH 98.5}[5]
By the way in which we do the work Christ has given us to do in His absence, we decide our future destiny.... Christ, the Master of the household, has gone to prepare for us mansions in the heavenly city. We are waiting for His return. Let us honor Him in His absence by doing with faithfulness the work He has placed in our hands. Waiting, watching, working, we are to prepare for His return.—Signs of the Times, July 9, 1902.?{FH 98.6}[6]
