 After asking the Lord for a knowledge of His will , for heavenly wisdom , for the light of the Holy Spirit , the petitioner will search the Scriptures , and find that passages that were dark to his mind have suddenly grown clear , and he understands his duty as never before . Jesus said : “ My doctrine is not mine , but his that sent me . If any man will do his will , he shall know of the doctrine , whether it be of God , or whether I speak of myself ” ( John 7 : 16 , 17 ) . 
 The knowledge of divine truth is promised to those who will render obedience to the light and truth that have been given to them . An entrance into the strait gate is not dependent upon the possession of learning or riches , but it is dependent upon the possession of a teachable spirit . He who appreciates the first ray of heavenly light , and appropriates it , and walks in it , bringing his actions into harmony with that ray , and becoming sanctified through it , will receive yet more light . He will understand that the gospel is the plan of salvation . ... 
 He who has an obedient heart , that is ready to do the will of God , will not only gladly receive truth , but will earnestly seek for truth as for hidden treasure . He will come to the Scriptures with a humble and teachable spirit , seeking to understand how he may walk in the light , and saying , “ Lord , what wilt thou have me to do ? ” ( Acts 9 : 6 ) . He is ready to sacrifice anything and everything , if required , in order that he may be in harmony with the will of God . 
 It is not always an easy matter to render obedience to the will of God . It demands firmness of purpose to enter in at the strait gate and to travel in the narrow path that leads to eternal life , for on every hand are voices inviting the soul into bye and forbidden paths . Those who love wealth and honor and high position will not enter in at the strait gate unless they part with their idols . There is not room to enter in at the strait gate and carry the things of this world along . 
 He who would enter in at the strait gate must make an entire consecration of his all to God . Jesus says , “ If any man will come after me , let him deny himself , and take up his cross , and follow me ” ( Matthew 16 : 24 ) . — The Review and Herald , March 28 , 1912 .
