Every soul is under obligation to live a Christian life. Our individuality, our talents, our time, our influence, our abilities, all given to us of God, are to be rendered back to Him in willing service. The aim and object of life is not to secure temporal advantages, but to make sure of the eternal advantages. God claims your soul, your body, your capabilities; for He has bought them by His own precious blood, and they all belong to Him. It is robbery to withhold yourself from God.... The question of importance to us is, Is our life interwoven with that of Jesus? {FLB 30.5}

Enhver sjæl er forpligtet til at leve et kristent liv. Vor individualitet, alle vore talenter, al vor tid, indflydelse, og evner er givet os af Gud, skal gives tilbage til ham i form af villig tjeneste. Livets formål er ikke at få timelige fortrin, men at sikre sig evige fortrin. Gud kræver din sjæl, dit legeme, dine evner, for Han har købt dem med Sit eget dyrebare blod, og de vil alt tilhøre Ham. Det er røveri at holde dig tilbage fra Gud. . . . Det vigtigste spørgsmål er for os: Er vort liv indvævet i Jesu liv?
