The greatest praise that men can bring to God is to become consecrated channels through whom He can work. Time is rapidly passing into eternity. Let us not keep back from God that which is His own. Let us not refuse Him that which, though it cannot be given with merit, cannot be denied without ruin. He asks for a whole heart; give it to Him; it is His, both by creation and by redemption. He asks for your intellect; give it to Him; it is His. He asks for your money; give it to Him; it is His. "Ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a price." 1 Corinthians 6: 19, 20. God requires the homage of a sanctified soul, which has prepared itself, by the exercise of the faith that works by love, to serve Him. He holds up before us the highest ideal, even perfection. He asks us to be absolutely and completely for Him in this world as He is for us in the presence of God.

Den største hyldest, mennesker kan bringe Gud, er at blive indviede redskaber, som han kan bruge i sit arbejde. Tiden går hastigt over i evigheden. Lad os ikke forholde Gud det, som tilhører ham. Lad os ikke nægte ham det, som, skønt det ikke kan gives, uden at det koster noget, ikke kan tilbageholdes uden at blive til vor ødelæggelse. Han beder om hele vort hjerte. Lad ham få det; det er jo hans, både i kraft af skabelsen og forløsningen. Han beder om dine intellektuelle evner. Lad ham få dem; de tilhører ham. Han beder om dine penge. Lad ham få dem; de tilkommer jo ham. "I tilhører ikke jer selv. I er jo købt og prisen betalt." 1Kor. 6,19-20. Gud kræver troskab af en helliggjort sjæl, som har beredt sig til at tjene ham ved at udøve den tro, som virker ved kærlighed. Han foreholder os det højeste ideal, ja, endog fuldkommenhed. Han beder os om helt at leve for ham i denne verden, ligesom han lever for os hos Faderen.
