No Disposition to Speak of Doubts—Through the merits of Christ, through His righteousness, which by faith is imputed unto us, we are to attain to the perfection of Christian character. Our daily and hourly work is set forth in the words of the apostle: “Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith.” While doing this our minds become clearer and our faith stronger, and our hope is confirmed; we are so engrossed with the view of His purity and loveliness and the sacrifice He has made to bring us into agreement with God that we have no disposition to speak of doubts and discouragements.—Testimonies for the Church 5:744 (1889). {2MCP 495.2}

Ingen tendens til at tale om tvivl — Ved Kristi fortjeneste, ved hans retfærdighed, som tilregnes os ved troen, skal vi opnå en fuldkommen kristelig karakter. Vor opgave hver dag og hver time fremholdes for os i apostelens ord: »Idet vi ser hen til troens begynder og fuldender, Jesus.« Når vi gør dette, bliver vort sind klarere, vor tro stærkere og vort håb befæstes; vi bliver så helt betaget ved synet af hans renhed og elskelighed og det offer, han har gjort for at bringe os i overensstemmelse med Gud, at vi ingen tilbøjelighed har til at tale om tvivl og modløshed. — Vidnesbyrd for menigheden 5:744 (1889).
