How to keep saved
By holding myself carefully, prayerfully, and humbly, before God. By walking in every ray of light; feast and present, and agreeing to walk in all future light. By availing myself of every means of grace. By taking up my cross daily and seeking to know and do his sovereigh will. By acknowledging that my time belongs to him and to begin every day with the question, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
By acknowledging morning, noon and night, that I cannot save or keep myself, and placing spirit, soul and boddy completely and unreservedly in his care.
