Brother G should be patient and forbearing, and carefully shield her from unnecessary burdens; for she is not prepared to bear them. She, in her turn, should watch against the incoming foe, should take up her life burdens unmurmuringly and bear them with cheerfulness, sweetening them all with gratitude because they are no heavier. Brother G is prone to look upon the dark side. He should hold himself in readiness to do the will of God and use to the very best advantage the influence which God has given him. He should cheerfully perform the duties of today and not borrow tomorrow’s trouble to make himself miserable over. He has not to perform the duties of next week, but the work and duties which the day brings. {2T 640.3}

Gud vil, at alle skal gøre en praktisk anvendelse af hans ords tydelige lære angående menneskets frelse. Dersom de efterlever ordet, som er klart og mægtigt i sin enkelhed, vil det ikke slå fejl, at de fuldkommer en kristelig karakter. De vil blive helliget ved sandheden og ved at lyde sandheden i ydmyghed vil de sikre sig et evigt liv. Gud ønsker tjenere, som er tro ikke blot i tale, men i handling. Deres frugter vil vise ægtheden af deres tro.
