THE THIRD ANGEL’S MESSAGE. —NO. 1.

ELDER A. T. JONES.

     As we begin our Bible study I think it would be well to spend this hour, at any rate, in considering what we came for, and how we are to come to get any good.

"The 8th Law of Life" | 1888 Essential Reading

“Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matt. 6:33).

It is impossible to lay too much stress on this feature of the violation of the commandment.

"The 4th Law of Life" | 1888 Essential Reading

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it” (Ex. 20:8–11 ).

 

"The 2nd Law of Life" | 1888 Essential Reading

“You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments”  (Ex. 20:4–6).
