To each he gave the command to go and work in his vineyard. The one went, the other did not. God has given the command and the power to every child of His to work in His vineyard, with the world as the field. The majority of God’s children are not working for Him and the world is perishing.” “The great majority of those who are counted believers are doing nothing towards making Christ known to their fellow men. Of the remainder, the majority are doing so little, and that little so ineffectively, by reason of the lack of wholehearted devotion, that they can hardly be said to be giving themselves to their Lord’s service. And of the remaining portion, who have given themselves and all they have to Christ’s service, so many are occupied with the hospital work of teaching the sick and the weakly in the Church, that the strength left free for aggressive work, and going forth to conquer the world, is terribly reduced. And so, with a finished salvation, and a loving Redeemer, and a Church set apart to carry life and blessing to men, many millions are still perishing.” “What can be done to awaken believers to a sense of their holy calling, and to make them see that to work for God, that to offer themselves as instruments through whom God can do His work, ought to be the one aim of their life?” “Absolute devotion and immediate obedience to their Lord is the essence of true salvation.” Copied from Walking With God, The Andrew Murray Trilogy on Sanctification.
