Chapter 117—The Christian’s Watchword Dear Brother B, I was shown that you move much from feeling instead of from firm principle. You lack a deep and thorough experience in the things of God. You need to be wholly converted to the truth. When a man’s heart is fully converted, all that he possesses is consecrated to the Lord. This consecration you have not yet experienced. You love the truth in word, but do not manifest that love in your deeds and by your fruits. Your acts, your deeds, are evidences of the sincerity of your love, or of your indifference to God, His cause, and your fellow men. {1T 690.1}

Kære bror B: Jeg fik vist at du handler meget ud fra følelser, i stedet for faste principper. Du mangler en dyb og gennemgribende erfaring i Guds sager. De behøver at blive omvendt fuldt ud til sandheden. Når et menneskes hjerte er fuldt ud omvendt, er alt hvad han ejer overgivet til Herren. Denne overgivelse har du endnu ikke erfaret. Du elsker sandheden i ordet, men du viser den ikke kærlighed i dine handlinger og ved dine frugter. Dine handlinger, dine gerninger vidner om din kærligheds oprigtighed, eller din ligegyldighed over for Gud, hans sag og dine medmennesker.
