The members of the church are responsible for the talents committed to their trust, and it is impossible for Christians to meet their responsibilities unless they occupy that elevated position that is in accordance with the sacred truths which they profess. The light that shines upon our pathway makes us responsible to let that light shine forth to others in such a manner that they will glorify God. {3T 53.3}

Menighedens medlemmer er ansvarlig for de talenter de er blevet betroet. Det er umuligt for kristne at leve op til deres ansvar hvis de ikke har den ophøjede stilling som er i overensstemmelse med de hellige sandheder de bekender sig til. Lyset der skinner på vor stivej gør os ansvarlig til at lade lyset skinne for andre på en sådan måde at de vil forherlige Gud.
