Testimonies for the Church, Volume 9 - Ellen G. White

Our evidence to nonprofessors that we have the
truth of the word of God will be given in a life of
strict self-denial. We must not make a mockery of
our faith, but ever keep before us the example of
Him who, though He was the Prince of heaven,
stooped to a life of self-denial and sacrifice to
vindicate the righteousness of His Father's word.
Let us each resolve to do our best, that the light of
our good works may shine forth to the world.
