"The Lord in His great mercy sent a most precious message to His people through Elders Waggoner and Jones. This message was to bring more prominently before the world the uplifted Saviour, the sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. It presented justification through faith in the Surety; it invited the people to receive the righteousness of Christ, which is made manifest in obedience to all the commandments of God. . .This is the message that God commanded to be given to the world. It is the third angel's message, which is to be proclaimed with a loud voice, and attended with the outpouring of His Spirit in a large measure."

What is this "A Most Prescious Message"?
- This is an expression used to refer to the Gospel: The Good News Of Salvation. What is the Good News Of Salvation?
- In a nutshell that Christ is our Righteousness. And, that this Righteousness is a gift to us.
- Hence. Salvation is by grace. Grace means: unmerited favor. Salvation is a gift that we do not deserve, however God gives it to us, because He loves us unconditionally.
- This means that God loves us because of the value He places us in us, not because of the value we inherently have - which is as valuable as ashes, dust or a worm. This type of love in the Biblical Greek is called Agape.
- So God gives us all Salvation - from the punishment and penalty of Sin, which is eternal death. This is the death that Christ died on the Cross and thus we died in Him.
- If we in turn receive it by Faith, He gives us His Holy Spirit who will further save us from the power of Sin.
- If we allow Him to do His work in and through us, He will help us overcome and be given eternal life and salvation from the presence of Sin.
- Man has no need to fight against God nor seek Him. God has sought man by sending His Son. He continues to seek man by the ministry of His Spirit.
- And, will finally seek man when God sends His Son to return for us and take us with Him to live for eternity.
