The labor of love springs from the work of faith. Bible religion means constant work. “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God that worketh in you, both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” We are to be zealous of good works; be careful to maintain good works. And the true Witness says, “I know thy works.”{6BC 1111.5}

Kærlighedens gerning udspringer af troens arbejde. Bibelreligionen betyder et stadigt arbejde. "Lad dit lys skinne for mennesker, så de kan se dine gode gerninger, og ære din Fader som er i himlen." "Arbejd ihærdigt for din egen frelse i frygt og bæven, for det er Gud der virker i dig, både at ville og at virke til hans bedste." Vi skal være nidkære i gode gerninger; vær omhyggelig med at fastholde gode gerninger. Og det sande vidne siger: "Jeg kender dine gerninger."
