Chapter 33—Tithes and Offerings - The mission of the church of Christ is to save perishing sinners. It is to make known the love of God to men and to win them to Christ by the efficacy of that love. The truth for this time must be carried into the dark corners of the earth, and this work may begin at home. The followers of Christ should not live selfish lives; but, imbued with the Spirit of Christ, they should work in harmony with Him. {3T 381.1}

(381) [Kristi menigheds mission er at frelse fortabte syndere. Den består i at kundgøre Guds kærlighed til menneskene og at vinde dem for Kristus ved denne kærligheds virkekraft. Sandheden for denne tid må bæres ud til jordens mørke steder og dette arbejde må begynde herhjemme. Kristi efterfølgere bør ikke leve et egoistisk liv, men gennemtrængt af hans ånd bør de virke i harmoni med ham.
