“Beloved, now are we the sons of God.” Can any human dignity equal this? What higher position can we occupy than to be called the sons of the infinite God? You would be ready to do some great thing for the Master; but the very things which would please Him most, you do not do. Will you not be faithful in overcoming self, that you may have the peace of Christ and an indwelling Saviour? {4T 365.2}

»I elskede, nu er vi Guds børn.« Kan nogen menneskelig værdighed måle sig med dette? Hvilken højere position kan vi have, end at kaldes sønner af den uendelige Gud? Du vil være rede til at gøre store ting for Mesteren; men de ting som vil behage ham mest, vil du ikke gøre. Vil du ikke redeligt overvinde selvet, så du kan få Kristi fred og en iboende Frelser?
