It is in everybody.

• Has God no living church? He has a church, but it is the church militant, not the church triumphant. We are sorry that there are defective members, that there are tares amid the wheat. . . . Although there are evils existing in the church, and will be until the end of the world, the church in these last days is to be the light of the world that is polluted and demoralized by sin. The church, enfeebled and defective, needing to be reproved, warned, and counseled, is the only object upon earth upon which Christ bestows His supreme regard.

  Ellen G. White

  Sorry, Light, Evil

• The life of Christ was a life charged with a divine message of the love of God, and He longed intensely to impart this love to others in rich measure.

Every member of His church militant must manifest the same qualities, if he would join the church triumphant.
