“地与海有祸了！因为魔鬼知道自己的时候不多，就气忿忿地下到你们那里去了”（启12:12）。{FH.146.1}
在这些危险的日子中，耶稣基督是唯一的避难所。撒但正暗中秘密作工，狡猾地引诱跟从基督的人离开十字架，陷入自我放纵和邪恶中。{FH.146.2}
撒但反对一切会加强基督的圣工并削弱他自己能力的事。……他一刻也不休息，因他看到正义在取得优势。他有恶天使的军团，奉差到有天国的亮光照在人们身上的各处，在那里安插岗哨，攫取每一个不谨慎的男女、儿童，让他们去侍奉他。……{FH.146.3}
上帝希望我们聪明地完成祂的工作，而不是随意地去做。祂希望我们用信心仔细准确地做工，使祂可以印上嘉许之印。凡爱祂并且存敬畏和谦卑的心行在祂面前的人，祂都必赐福、指导，使他们与上天联络。工人们若是依赖祂，祂就必赐给他们智慧并纠正他们的软弱不足之处，以便他们能尽善尽美地作主的工作。{FH.146.4}
单凭我们的好行为不能救我们中的任何一个人，但我们若没有好行为必不能得救。在我们做了自己所能做的一切之后，要奉耶稣的名并靠祂的力量说：“我们是无用的仆人”（路17:10）。我们不应以为自己做了极大的牺牲，因我们微薄的服务应该领取大赏赐。{FH.146.5}
我们必须穿上军装，预备好成功地抵挡撒但一切的攻击。我们对他狠毒而残忍的权势估计不足。当他在一个地方被打败时，就会改换阵地并实施新的战术，卷土重来，行奇事迷惑人，毁灭人。……{FH.146.6}
基督要求的是全部。扣留任何东西都是不行的。祂已用无限的代价买了我们，祂要求我们所拥有的一切都要献给祂作为甘心祭。我们若将心灵和生命全部奉献给祂，就必有信心取代疑惑，信任取代不信。——《时兆》，1876年4月20日。{FH.146.7}
A Short Time, May 14
Woe to the inhabitants of the earth ...! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.?Revelation 12:12.?{FH 146.1}[1]
Jesus Christ is the only refuge in these perilous times. Satan is at work in secrecy and darkness. Cunningly he draws away the followers of Christ from the cross and brings them into self-indulgence and wickedness.?{FH 146.2}[2]
Satan is opposed to everything that will strengthen the cause of Christ and weaken his own power.... He never rests for a moment when he sees that the right is gaining the ascendancy. He has legions of evil angels that he sends to every point where light from heaven is shining upon the people. Here he stations his pickets to seize every unguarded man, woman, or child, and pass them over to his service....?{FH 146.3}[3]
God would have His work done intelligently, not in a haphazard manner. He would have it done with faith and careful exactitude, that He may place the sign of His approval upon it. Those who love Him and walk with fear and humility before Him, He will bless, and guide, and connect them with heaven. If the workers rely upon Him, He will give them wisdom and correct their infirmities, so that they will be able to do the work of the Lord with perfection.?{FH 146.4}[4]
Our good works alone will not save any of us, but we cannot be saved without good works. And after we have done all that we can do, in the name and strength of Jesus we are to say, “We are unprofitable servants.” We are not to think we have made great sacrifices and should receive great reward for our feeble services.?{FH 146.5}[5]
We must put on the armor and be prepared to successfully resist all the attacks of Satan. His malignity and cruel power are not sufficiently estimated. When he finds himself foiled upon one point, he assumes new ground and fresh tactics, and tries again, working wonders in order to deceive and destroy humanity....?{FH 146.6}[6]
Christ asks for all. It will not do to withhold anything. He has purchased us with an infinite price, and He requires that all we have shall be yielded to Him a willing offering. If we are fully consecrated to Him in heart and life, faith will take the place of doubts, and confidence the place of distrust and unbelief.—Signs of the Times, April 20, 1876.?{FH 146.7}[7]
