There is no such thing as our entering the heavenly portals through indulgence and folly, amusement, selfishness, but only by constant watchfulness and unceasing prayer. Spiritual vigilance on our part individually is the price of safety. Swerve not to Satan’s side a single inch, lest he gain advantage over you (Letter 47, 1893).{6BC 1094.4}

Løb hen til Mellemmanden, hold fast i Mellemmanden, ræk opad efter den ene arbejdslinie efter den anden, arbejd ikke for det kødelige, og for at opfylde lysterne deri.
