Adventistische Schriften über: "Please tell us how we can become a worthy vessel for God."

To become a worthy vessel for the Lord, we must empty our heart of all selfishness and allow it to be cleansed by the Spirit of Christ. This process requires an unreserved consecration, in which we die to our own self and fully entrust ourselves to God's guidance. Only when we are united with Christ and transformed by the purifying power of the Holy Spirit can God use us as honorable vessels for His service.

Cleansing of the Heart for the Master's Service

»When our heart is emptied of all selfishness and cleansed by the Spirit of Christ, we will be vessels suitable for the Master's use. God is waiting for men and women to awaken to an awareness of their responsibility. He is waiting for them to unite with Him.«

Prerequisites for Divine Cooperation

»From ourselves alone we can never make ourselves capable of being co‑workers with Him. It is God's purpose that each soul recognizes its own inadequacy and hungers and thirsts for righteousness. Through the purifying power of the Holy Spirit we can be made into vessels suitable for the Master's use. [...] All those who die to self, He will make into vessels of honor.«

Participation in the Divine Nature

»We are to draw near to God, and then He will draw near to us. The God of heaven gave His Son to redeem us, and we are to become partakers of the divine nature so that we may be vessels of honor, suitable for the Master's use. We should not retreat into our shell and live only for ourselves.«

The Shaping in God's Workshop

»You are in God's workshop. If you submit yourself to the process of hewing, squaring, and planing, so that the rough edges are removed and the knots and uneven surfaces are smoothed and adjusted by God's planing knife, you will be made suitable by His grace for the heavenly building.«
