A daily, earnest striving to know God, and Jesus Christ whom He has sent, would bring power and efficiency to the soul. The knowledge obtained by diligent searching of the Scriptures would be flashed into the memory at the right time. But if any had neglected to acquaint themselves with the words of Christ, if they had never tested the power of His grace in trial, they could not expect that the Holy Spirit would bring His words to their remembrance. They were to serve God daily with undivided affection, and then trust Him.

En daglig, alvorlig stræben efter at kende Gud og Jesus Kristus, som han har udsendt, ville bringe sjælen kraft og virkeevne. Den viden, der var opnået ved flittig granskning af Skrifterne, ville rinde en i hu i det rette øjeblik. Men hvis nogen havde forsømt at lære Kristi ord at kende, hvis de aldrig havde erfaret hans nådes kraft under prøvelser, så kunne de ikke vente, at Helligånden skulle minde dem om hans ord. De måtte daglig tjene Gud med en helhjertet kærlighed, og derefter stole på ham.
