God will test the faith of every soul. Christ has purchased us at an infinite sacrifice. Although He was rich, yet for our sake He became poor, that we through His poverty might come into possession of eternal riches. All that we possess of ability and intellect has been lent us in trust by the Lord, to use for Him. It is our privilege to be partakers with Christ in His sacrifice (The Review and Herald, January 4, 1906).{2BC 1029.3}

Gud vil prøve enhvers tro. Kristus har købt os for et uendeligt offer. Selv om han var rig, blev han fattig for vor skyld, for at vi ved hans fattigdom skulle komme i besiddelse af evige rigdomme. Alt det vi ejer af dygtighed og evner, har vi fået udlånt af Herren, fordi vi skal bruge det for ham. Det er vort privilegium at tage del med Kristus i hans offer (RH Jan. 4, 1906).
