Make a Reality of Truth . The Lord Jesus demands that every soul make a reality of truth. Show that you believe that you are not half with Christ and half with the world. Of all such Christ says: “I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of My mouth.” He who appreciates the love of Christ will be an earnest worker with Christ to bring other souls as sheaves to the Master. Thorough work is always done by all who are connected with Christ. They bear fruit to His glory. But indolence and carelessness and frivolity separate the soul from Christ, and Satan comes in to work his will with the poor worldly subject. We have a great truth, but through careless indifference the truth has lost its force upon us. Satan has come in with his specious temptations, and has led the professed followers of Christ away from their Leader, classing them with the foolish virgins. {TM 130.1}

Gør en virkelighed af sandhed
Herren Jesus kræver at enhver sjæl gør en virkelighed af sandhed. Vis at du tror så at du ikke er halvt med Kristus og halvt med verden. Om alt dette siger Kristus: »Gid du var kold eller varm! Derfor, fordi du er lunken og hverken varm eller kold, har jeg i sinde at udspy dig af min mund.« Ham der værdsætter Kristi kærlighed vil blive en ivrig arbejder med Kristus for at bringe andre sjæle som bundter til Mesteren. Gennemgribende arbejde er altid blevet gjort af alle som er forbundet med Kristus. De bærer frugt til hans herlighed. Men ladhed, ubekymrethed, og overfladiskhed adskiller sjælen fra Kristus, og Satan kommer ind for at gøre hans vilje med det dårlige verdslige motiv. Vi har en stor sandhed, men ved skødesløs ligegyldighed har sandheden mistet sin kraft over os. Satan er kommet ind med hans besnærerne fristelser, og har ledt de bekendene ledsagere af Kristus væk fra deres leder, han klassificerer dem med uforstandige jomfruer.
