Christ did not fail, neither was He discouraged, and His followers are to manifest a faith of the same enduring nature.... They are to despair of nothing, and to hope for everything. With the golden chain of His matchless love Christ has bound them to the throne of God. {FLB 156.7}

Kristus fejlede ikke, Han mistede heller ikke modet, og Hans efterfølgere skal vise en tro af samme udholdende art. . . . Du skal ikke fortvivle, men håbe på alt. Med den gyldne kæde af Kristi uforlignelige kærlighed, har Han bundet dem til Guds trone."
