Better Lose Position Than Jesus—Do not think that if you take your position for the Bible truth you will lose your position. You had better lose your position than lose Jesus. You had better be partakers of the self-denial and self-sacrifice of the Lord than to go in your own way seeking to gather to yourself the treasures of this life. You cannot carry any of it into the grave. You will come up from the grave without anything, but if you have Jesus you will have everything. He is all that you will require to stand the test of the day of God, and is not this enough for you?—Manuscript 20, 1894. {Ev 243.3}

Mist hellere stilling frem for miste Jesus. - Tænk ikke at, hvis du tager standpunkt for Bibelsandheden vil du miste din stilling. Du må hellere miste din stilling frem for at miste Jesus. Du skulle hellere få del i Herrens selvfornægtelse og selvopofrelse end at gå på dine egne veje og samle dig rigdomme til dette liv. Du kan ikke få nogen af dem med dig i graven. Du vil komme op fra graven (244) uden noget som helt, men hvis du vil have Jesus, så vil du få alt. Han er alt det du vil forlange der står prøven på Guds dag, og er dette ikke nok for dig? - manuskript 20, 1894.
