Influence of Truth on the Conscience and on the Heart—The psalmist says, “The entrance of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple” (Psalm 119:130). When truth is working only upon the conscience, it creates much uneasiness; but when truth is invited into the heart, the whole being is brought into captivity to Jesus Christ. Even the thoughts are captured, for the mind of Christ works where the will is submitted to the will of God. “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 2:5). He whom the Lord makes free is free indeed, and he cannot be brought into servile bondage to sin.— Manuscript 67, 1894.{1MCP 324.3}

Sandhedens indflydelse på samvittighed og på hjerte. - Salmisten siger: "Tydes dine ord, så bringer de lys, de giver enfoldige indsigt" (Sal. 119,130). Når sandheden kun virker på samvittigheden, skaber det meget uro; men når sandheden bydes ind i hjertet, komme hele mennesket i fangenskab hos Jesus Kristus. Også tankerne tages til fange, for Kristi sind virker hvor viljen underlægges Guds vilje. "Lad det samme sindelag være i jer, som også var i Jesus Kristus" (Filipperne 2,5). Han som Herren gør fri, er i virkeligheden frie, og han kan ikke bringes i syndens trældom. - MS 67, 1894.
