    To Unify the Church, April 12

    Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace. Hebrews 13:9.AG 110.1

    The Lord in His wisdom has arranged that by means of the close relationship that should be maintained by all believers, Christian shall be united to Christian and church to church. Thus the human instrumentality will be enabled to cooperate with the divine. Every agency will be subordinate to the Holy Spirit, and all the believers will be united in an organized and well-directed effort to give to the world the glad tidings of the grace of God.34The Acts of the Apostles, 164.AG 110.2

    God deals with men as individuals, giving to everyone his work. All are to be taught of God. Through the grace of Christ every soul must work out his own righteousness, maintaining a living connection with the Father and the Son....AG 110.3

    While it is true that the Lord guides individuals, it is also true that He is leading out a people, not a few separate individuals here and there, one believing this thing, another that. Angels of God are doing the work committed to their trust. The third angel is leading out and purifying a people, and they should move with him unitedly....AG 110.4

    Some have advanced the thought that as we near the close of time, every child of God will act independently of any religious organization. But I have been instructed by the Lord that in this work there is no such thing as every man's being independent.... In order that the Lord's work may advance healthfully and solidly, His people must draw together.35Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, 488, 489.AG 110.5

    Each member of the church should feel under sacred obligations to guard strictly the interests of the cause of God.... Jesus has opened to everyone a way by which wisdom, grace, and power may be obtained. He is our example in all things, and nothing should divert the mind from the main object in life, which is to have Christ in the soul, melting and subduing the heart. When this is the case, every member of the church, every professor of the truth, will be Christlike in character, in words, in actions.36Testimonies for the Church 5:278.AG 110.6
