Chapter 8—Workers with God . [The articles in this section are from Special Testimonies, Series A 3:16-23 (1895).]Love and Confidence Among Brethren . October 30, 1894.When men will show confidence in their fellowmen they will come much nearer to possessing the mind of Christ. The Lord has revealed the estimate that He places upon man. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” But some minds are ever seeking to reshape the character of others according to their own ideas and measure. God has not given them this work to do. {TM 189.1}

Når mennesker vil vise tillid i deres fællesskab vil de komme meget nærmere til at besidde Kristi sindelag. Herren har afsløret den bedømmelse som han sætter over mennesket. »Thi således elskede Gud verden, at han gav sin Søn den enbårne, for at enhver, som tror på ham, ikke skal fortabes, men have evigt liv.« Men nogle sindelag søger altid at omdanne andres karakter efter deres egne forestillinger og mål. Gud har ikke givet dem det arbejde at gøre.
