To help find the lost is our primary duty. As Christians we are face to face with Christ's command in the above scripture. It is dangerous to speak of loving our neighbor as ourselves as if that is a logical consequence of belonging to the Seventh-day Adventist Church. All too often we become eager to defend our doctrinal position from the security of our own religious establishment. Often the point at which people begin to talk about how their religion differs from others signals some sort of surrender of human sensitivity and Christian concern.
Christian concern stays close to human life, human suffering, human hopes, and human salvation.
When we view the great truths God has given us, they are tremendous. But God judges nothing by itself, but only in the totality of our own moral and spiritual attitudes and the way we communicate these truths to others. Life's greatest blunder is to live just one life when you can live a thousand. We who have experienced the saving love of God are to enter the lives of those around us, to take upon ourselves the needs and the burdens of those who know not Christ. To give a dollar in the offering or to return one hundred dollars in tithe may be either a true Christian service or it may be an escape.
