Let none deceive themselves with the belief that God will pardon and bless them while they are trampling upon one of His requirements. The willful commission of a known sin silences the witnessing voice of the Spirit, and separates the soul from God. {FLB 331.6}

Lad ingen bedrage sig selv med at Gud vil tilgive og velsigne dem selvom de træder en af hans lovkrav under fode. Bestemmer man sig for en bevidst synd, bringes Åndens vidnende røst til tavshed, og adskiller sjælen fra Gud.
