The young are required in whatsoever they do, in word or deed, to do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him. I saw that but few of the youth understand what it is to be Christians, to be Christlike. They will have to learn the truths of God’s word before they can conform their lives to the pattern. There is not one young person in twenty who has experienced in his life that separation from the world which the Lord requires of all who would become members of His family, children of the heavenly King. “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” {1T 510.1}

I hvad som helst de gør, i ord eller handling er de unge pålagt at gøre det hele i den Herre Jesu navn, give tak til Gud og Faderen igennem Jesus. Jeg så at kun få unge forstod hvad det vil sige at være kristen, at ligne Kristus. De må lære sandhederne i Guds ord før de kan tilpasse deres liv til mønsteret. Der er ikke en ung blandt tyve som, i sit liv, har erfaret den adskillelse fra verden som Herren kræver af alle dem, der vil være medlemmer af hans familie, børn af den himmelske konge. »Derfor: »Drag bort fra dem og skil jer ud, siger Herren og rør ej noget urent, så vil jeg tage imod jer og være jer en Fader og I skal være mine sønner og døtre, siger Herren den Almægtige."
