“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15: 57, 58

“But it is not our heavenly Father’s purpose to save us without an effort on our part to co-operate with Christ. We must act our part and divine power, uniting with our effort, will bring victory” (Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene)
