There can be no growth or fruitfulness in the life that is centered in self. If you have accepted Christ as a personal 68 Saviour, you are to forget yourself, and try to help others. Talk of the love of Christ, tell of His goodness. Do every duty that presents itself. Carry the burden of souls upon your heart, and by every means in your power seek to save the lost. As you receive the Spirit of Christ--the Spirit of unselfish love and labor for others--you will grow and bring forth fruit. The graces of the Spirit will ripen in your character. Your faith will increase, your convictions deepen, your love be made perfect. More and more you will reflect the likeness of Christ in all that is pure, noble, and lovely.

»Først strå, så aks«

"Men Åndens frugt er kærlighed, glæde, fred, langmodighed, mildhed, godhed, trofasthed, sagtmodighed, afholdenhed." Denne frugt kan aldrig forgå, men vil modnes til en høst til evigt liv.
