All these refuse the Saviour's call because they fear division in the family circle. They suppose that in refusing to obey God they are insuring the peace and prosperity of the home; but this is a delusion. Those who sow selfishness will reap selfishness. In rejecting the love of Christ they reject that which alone can impart purity and steadfastness to human love. They will not only lose heaven, but will fail of the true enjoyment of that for which heaven was sacrificed.

Alle disse afslår Frelserens indbydelse, fordi de er bange for splittelser i familien. De mener at de kan sikre freden og lykken i hjemmet ved at nægte at adlyde Gud, men det er et bedrag. De, der sår egenkærlighed, vil høste egenkærlighed. Ved at forkaste Kristi kærlighed forkaster de det, der alene kan gøre menneskers kærlighed ren og trofast. De vil ikke alene gå glip af Himmelen, men vil miste den sande glæde ved det, som var årsag til, at de gav afkald på Himmelen.
