God Reveals the Motives—God leads His people on, step by step. He brings them into positions which are calculated to reveal the motives of the heart. Some endure at one point but fall off at the next. At every advance step the heart is tested and tried a little closer. If any find their hearts opposed to the straight work of God, it should convince them that they have a work to do in overcoming, or they will be finally rejected of the Lord.—The Review and Herald, April 8, 1880. (HC 162.) {1MCP 347.4}

Gud åbenbarer motiverne. - Gud leder sit folk videre, skridt for skridt. Han bringer dem i situationer hvor det er beregnet at de kan åbenbare hjertets motiver. Nogle holder ud til et punkt og falder fra ved det næste. For hvert skridt fremad tester og prøver hjertet lidt hårdere. Hvis nogle (348) finder at deres hjerter er imod Guds arbejde, vil det overbevise dem om at de har en opgave med overvindelse, ellers vil de til sidst forkastes af Herren. - RH, 8. apr., 1880.
