Increased responsibilities bring increased accountability. He who would be a faithful servant must give entire and willing service to the greatest teacher the world ever knew. His ideas and principles must be kept pure by the power of God. Every day he must learn to become worthy of the trust placed in him. His mind must be quickened by the divine power. His character must be uncontaminated by the influence of his relatives, his friends, or his neighbors. At times he must turn aside from active life to commune with God, and to hear His voice saying to him, “Be still, and know that I am God.” {TM 282.2}

Tiltagende ansvar giver større ansvar at aflægge. Ham der vil være en trofast tjener må give udelt og villig tjeneste for dem største lærer verden nogen sinde har kendt. Hans begreber og principper må holdes rene ved Guds kraft. Hver dag må han lære at blive værdig for den tillid der ham betroet. Hans sind må blive ansporet af den guddommelige kraft. Hans karakter må være ubesmittet ved påvirkning af hans familie, hans venner, eller hans naboer. Til tider må han træde til side fra det aktive liv for at være ét med Gud, og høre hans stemme sige til ham, »Hold inde og kend, at jeg er Gud.«
