The words of Christ teach that we should regard ourselves as inseparably bound to our Father in heaven. Whatever our position, we are dependent upon God, who holds all destinies in His hands. He has appointed us our work, and has endowed us with faculties and means for that work. So long as we surrender the will to God, and trust in His strength and wisdom, we shall be guided in safe paths, to fulfill our appointed part in His great plan. But the one who depends upon his own wisdom and power is separating himself from God. Instead of working in unison with Christ, he is fulfilling the purpose of the enemy of God and man.

Kristi ord bør lære os, at vi skal betragte os som uløseligt forbundne med vor Fader i Himmelen. Hvordan vi end er stillet, så er vi afhængige af Gud, som holder enhvers skæbne i sin hånd. Han har anvist os vor gerning og har skænket os evner og muligheder til dette arbejde. Så længe vi overgiver viljen til Gud og stoler på hans kraft og visdom, vil vi blive ført ad trygge veje for at opfylde vor del af hans store plan. Men ,den, som vil stole på sin egen visdom og kraft, skiller sig fra Gud. I stedet for at arbejde i harmoni med Kristus fuldbyrder han, hvad Guds og menneskers fjende tilsigter.
