The expulsion of sin is the act of the soul itself. In its great need the soul cries out for a power out of and above itself; and through the operation of the Holy Spirit the nobler powers of the mind are imbued with strength to break away from the bondage of sin. {FLB 91.2}

”Syndens uddrivelse er sjælens egen handling. I sin store nød, råber sjælen efter en kraft uden for den selv; og gennem Helligåndens virke gennemsyres sindets ædlere tanker med kraft til at bryde med syndens trældom.
