The Remnant and Its Mission
"The universal church is composed of all who truly believe in Christ, but
in
the last days, a time of widespread apostasy, a remnant has been called
out
to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. This remnant
announces the arrival of the judgment hour, proclaims salvation through
Christ, and heralds the approach of His second advent. This proclamation
is
symbolized by the three angels of Revelation 14; it coincides with the
work
of judgment in heaven and results in a work of repentance and reform on
earth. Every believer is called to have a personal part in this worldwide
witness. (Rev. 12:17; 14:6-12; 18:1-4; 2 Cor. 5:10; Jude 3, 14; 1 Peter
1:16-19; 2 Peter 3:10-14; Rev. 21:1-14.)
