The directions laid down in the word of God leave no room for compromise with evil. The Son of God was manifested that He might draw all men unto Himself. He came not to lull the world to sleep, but to point out the narrow path in which all must travel who reach at last the gates of the City of God. His children must follow where He has led the way; at whatever sacrifice of ease or selfish indulgence, at whatever cost of labor or suffering, they must maintain a constant battle with self. 566

De retningslinjer, der findes i Guds ord, levner ingen plads til et kompromis med det onde. Guds Søn åbenbaredes, for at han skulle drage alle til sig. Han kom ikke for at dysse verden i søvn, men for at vise hen til den snævre vej, ad hvilken alle må vandre for at nå til portene i Guds stad. Hans børn må følge efter, hvor han har vist vejen. Hvor meget der end skal ofres af behageligheder eller hensyntagen til selvet, hvor meget det end skal koste af slid og lidelse, så må de fortsætte med den stadige kamp mod selvet.
