So the instituti<strong>on</strong>s established by God’s people<br />

today are to glorify His name. The <strong>on</strong>ly way in<br />

which we can fulfill His expectati<strong>on</strong> is by being<br />

representatives of the truth for this time. God is to<br />

be recognized in the instituti<strong>on</strong>s established by<br />

Seventh-day Adventists. By them the truth for this<br />

time is to be represented before the world with<br />

c<strong>on</strong>vincing power.<br />

We are called to represent to the world the<br />

character of God as it was revealed to Moses. In<br />

answer to the prayer of Moses, “Show me Thy<br />

glory,” the Lord promised, “I will make all My<br />

goodness pass before thee.” “And the Lord passed<br />

by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The<br />

Lord God, merciful and gracious, l<strong>on</strong>g-suffering,<br />

and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy<br />

for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgressi<strong>on</strong><br />

and sin.” Exodus 33:18, 19; 34:6, 7. This is the<br />

fruit that God desires from His people. In the purity<br />

of their characters, in the holiness of their lives, in<br />

their mercy and loving-kindness and compassi<strong>on</strong>,<br />

they are to dem<strong>on</strong>strate that “the law of the Lord is<br />

perfect, c<strong>on</strong>verting the soul.” Psalm 19:7.<br />
