Greater Works Than These

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. John 14:12

"Man was the crowning act of the creation of God, made in the image of God, and designed to be a counterpart of God; … Man is very dear to God, because he was formed in his own image.?

"In order to understand the value which God places upon man, we need to comprehend the plan of redemption, the costly sacrifice which our Saviour made to save the human race from eternal ruin. … The Lord gave his only begotten Son to ransom us from sin. …Our character is to be modeled after the divine similitude, and to be reformed by that faith that works by love and purifies the soul. The grace of God will beautify, ennoble, and sanctify the character. The servant of the Lord who works intelligently will be successful. Our Saviour said, "Greater works than these shall ye do; because I go unto my Father." What are these "greater works"? If our lips are touched with the living coal from off the altar, we shall reveal to the world the wonderful love manifested by God in giving Jesus, his only begotten Son, to the world, 'that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.'" —?Review and Herald, June 18, 1895
