Opens Secrets of Life’s Success—True faith and true prayer—how strong they are! They are as two arms by which the human suppliant lays hold upon the power of Infinite Love. Faith is trusting in God—believing that He loves us and knows what is for our best good. Thus, instead of our own way, it leads us to choose His way. In place of our ignorance, it accepts His wisdom; in place of our weakness, His strength; in place of our sinfulness, His righteousness. Our lives, ourselves, are already His; faith acknowledges His ownership and accepts its blessing. Truth, uprightness, purity, are pointed out as secrets of life’s success. It is faith that puts us in possession of these. Every good impulse or aspiration is the gift of God; faith receives from God the life that alone can produce true growth and efficiency.—Gospel Workers, 259 (1915). {2MCP 541.2}

Åbner hemmelighederne til livets fremgang — Sand tro og sand bøn - hvor stærke disse dog er! De er som to arme hvormed den menneskelige ansøger griber den uendelige kærligheds kraft. Tro er fortrøstning til Gud, troen at han elsker os og ved hvad der gavner os bedst. Således leder den os til at vælge hans vej i stedet for vor egen. Den tager imod hans visdom i stedet for vor vankundighed, hans styrke i stedet for vor svaghed, hans retfærdighed i stedet for vor syndfuldhed. Vort liv, vi selv, er allerede hans; troen anerkender hans ejendomsret og tager imod dens velsignelse. Sandhed, oprigtighed og renhed påpeges som hemmeligheden ved fremgang i livet. Det er troen som sætter os i besiddelse af disse ting. Hver god indskydelse eller længsel er en Guds gave; troen får af Gud det liv som alene kan frembringe sand vækst og dygtighed. — Evangeliets tjenere, 193 (1915).
