The profession of being an Adventist, of
being a Seventh-day Adventist, looking for the coming of the Lord,
telling people that the coming of the Lord is near, watching the signs
of the times,—all this is right, absolutely and forever right. But,
though I have all this, and have not that one thing,—the sole ambition
to be completely separated from sin, and from the service of sin,—my
profession of the Adventist faith is a fraud; for
if I am not separated from sin, I can not meet the Lord at all in peace.
Therefore if my sole ambition is not separation from sin, and from the
service of it, I am not preparing at all to meet the Lord.
A. T. Jones,
Advent Review & Sabbath Herald, January 31, 1899.
