The true Christian obtains an experience which brings holiness. He is without a spot of guilt upon the conscience or a taint of corruption upon the soul. The spirituality of the law of God, with its limiting principles, is brought into his life. The light of truth irradiates his understanding. A glow of perfect love for the Redeemer clears away the miasma which has interposed between his soul and God. The will of God has become his will—pure, elevated, refined, and sanctified. His countenance reveals the light of heaven. His body is a fit temple for the Holy Spirit. Holiness adorns his character. God can commune with him, for soul and body are in harmony with God.—Lt 139, 1898. (The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 7:909.) {2MCP 412.3}

En sand kristen, erhverver en erfaring som fører til hellighed. Han har ingen som helst skyld hvilende på samvittigheden, eller den mindste fordærvelse i sjælen. Guds lovs åndelige natur med dens begrænsende principper bliver ført ud i livet. Sandhedens lys oplyser hans forstand. En glød af inderlig kærlighed til Frelseren fjerner det smitstof som var kommet imellem sjælen og Gud, Guds vilje er blevet hans vilje, ren, ophøjet, forædlet, og helliggjort. Hans ansigt genspejler Himmelens lys. Hans legeme er et egnet tempel for Helligånden. Hellighed pryder hans karakter. Gud kan omgås fortroligt med ham, for sjæl og legeme er i harmoni med Gud. - brev 139, 1898. (S.D.A. Bibel kommentaren 7:909.)
