As our physical life is sustained by food, so our spiritual life is sustained by the Word of God. And every soul is to receive life from God’s Word for himself. As we eat for ourselves in order to receive nourishment, so we must receive the Word for ourselves.... {FLB 20.4}

Ligesom vort fysiske liv opretholdes ved mad, således opretholdes vort åndelige liv af Guds Ord. Og enhver sjæl skal modtage liv fra Guds Ord for sig selv. Idet vi spiser for os selv for at få næring, således må vi modtage Ordet for os selv. . .
