Dig Deeper . We do not go deep enough in our search for truth. Every soul who believes present truth will be brought where he will be required to give a reason of the hope that is in him. The people of God will be called upon to stand before kings, princes, rulers, and great men of the earth, and they must know that they do know what is truth. They must be converted men and women. God can teach you more in one moment by His Holy Spirit than you could learn from the great men of the earth. The universe is looking upon the controversy that is going on upon the earth. At an infinite cost, God has provided for every man an opportunity to know that which will make him wise unto salvation. How eagerly do angels look to see who will avail himself of this opportunity! When a message is presented to God’s people, they should not rise up in opposition to it; they should go to the Bible, comparing it with the law and the testimony, and if it does not bear this test, it is not true. God wants our minds to expand. He desires to put His grace upon us. We may have a feast of good things every day, for God can open the whole treasure of heaven to us.—The Review and Herald, February 18, 1890. {TM 119.1}

Vi går ikke dybt nok ned i vores søgning efter sandhed. Enhver sjæl der tror den nærværende sandhed vil blive bragt der hen hvor han vil behøve at give en grund for det håb der er i ham. Guds folk vil blive kaldt op til at stå foran jordens konger, fyrster, myndigheder, og store mennesker, og de må vide hvad de ved hvad er sandt. De må blive omvendte mænd og kvinder. Gud kan ved Helligånden lære dig mere på et øjeblik end du kunne lære fra de store mennesker på jorden. Ved en uendelig omkostning, har Gud givet ethvert menneske en anledning til at kende det der vil gøre ham bekendt med frelse. Hvor ivrigt dog englene vender sig for at se hvem der vil hjælpe sig selv til en sådan anledning! Når et budskab er overbragt til Guds folk, burde de ikke rejse sig i modstand til det; de burde gå til Bibelen, sammenligne det med loven og vidnesbyrdet, og hvis det ikke holder prøven, er det ikke sandt. Han ønsker at sætte hans nåde over os. Vi må have en sand forståelse for gode ting hver dag, for Gud kan åbne hele himlens rigdomme for os. - Review and Herald , 18.febuar, 1890. til videre studium: Evangeliets Tjenere -norsk- side 222-228, 232-236; (Gospel Workers , side 297-305, 311-315); Fundamentals of Christian Education, side 305-307; Vejledning for menigheden bd 2 side 258-260; (Testimonies , vol 5, side 706-708).
