The convicted sinner has something to do besides repent; he must act his part in order to be accepted by God. He must believe that God accepts his repentance, according to His promise. “Without faith it is impossible to please Him: for He that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.” {Ev 287.2}

Den overbeviste synder har noget at gøre udover at angre; han må gøre sin del for at blive accepteret af Gud. Han må tro at Gud accepterer hans anger, i overensstemmelse med Hans løfte. "Uden tro er det umuligt at behage Ham: for Han der kommer til Gud må tro det Han er, og at Han belønner dem som ihærdigt søger efter Ham."
