The great purpose that constrained Paul to press forward in the face of hardship and difficulty should lead every Christian worker to consecrate himself wholly to God's service. Worldly attractions will be presented to draw his attentions from the Saviour, but he is to press on toward the goal, showing to the world, to angels, and to men that the hope of seeing the face of God is worth all the effort and sacrifice that the attainment of this hope demands.

Det store mål, der tvang Paulus til at haste fremad trods trængsler og vanskeligheder, burde få enhver Kristi tjener til at vie sig selv fuldt ud til Guds tjeneste. Verdens tillokkelser vil forsøge at drage hans opmærksomhed bort fra Frelseren, men han må haste fremad mod målet og vise verden, englene og menneskene, at håbet om at komme til at se Guds ansigt er alle de anstrengelser og ofre værd, som det koster at få dette håb opfyldt.
