“My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you.” (Gal. 4:19¹⁹My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, (Galatians 4:19).)

“Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is caused to stumble, and I burn not?” (2 Cor. 11:29²⁹Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not? (2 Corinthians 11:29).)

“We ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.” (1 John 3:16¹⁶Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. (1 John 3:16).)

“If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.” (Mark 9:35³⁵And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. (Mark 9:35); see 10:31, and Matt. 20:27²⁷And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: (Matthew 20:27).)

If these “true sayings” were more on our consciences and hearts, what power we should have to serve the Church of God, which He hath purchased with His own blood! (Acts 20:28²⁸Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. (Acts 20:28).) When I look at a saint, what do I see?

A son of God. (1 John 3:1, 2¹Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. ²Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. (1 John 3:1‑2).)

A member of Christ. (Eph. 5:30³⁰For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. (Ephesians 5:30).)

A part of myself. (Rom. 12:5⁵So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. (Romans 12:5).)

A temple of the Holy Ghost. (1 Cor. 6:19¹⁹What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? (1 Corinthians 6:19).)

A living stone. (1 Pet. 2:5⁵Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 2:5).)

The workmanship of God. (Eph. 2:10¹⁰For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10).)

May we all have the mind, heart, and bowels of Christ, about His own, about that, and those, which are His.
