To every man is given his work; not one is excused. Each has a part to act according to his capacity; and it devolves upon the one who presents the truth to carefully and prayerfully learn the ability of all who accept the truth, and then to instruct them and lead them along, step by step, letting them realize the burden of responsibility resting upon them to do the work that God has for them to do. It should be urged upon them again and again that no one will be able to resist temptation, to answer the purpose of God, and to live the life of a Christian unless he shall take up his work, be it great or small, and do that work with conscientious fidelity. There is some thing for all to do besides going to church and listening to the word of God. They must practice the truth heard, carrying its principles into their everyday life. They must be doing work for Christ constantly, not from selfish motives, but with an eye single to the glory of Him who made every sacrifice to save them from ruin. {4T 397.1}

Enhver har fået sin gerning; ingen er fritaget. Enhver har sin del at udføre, hver efter sin evne; og det påhviler den, der fremholder sandheden, omhyggeligt og under bøn at få kendskab til evnerne hos dem, som tager imod sandheden, for derefter at undervise dem og lede dem videre, skridt for skridt og lade dem få forståelse af det ansvar, der påhviler dem til at udføre den gerning, Gud har til dem. Det bør fremholdes for dem igen og igen, at ingen vil være i stand til at modstå fristelse, at opfylde Guds hensigt med ham og at leve en kristens liv, medmindre han optager sin gerning, den være stor eller lille og udfører denne gerning med samvittighedsfuld troskab. Der er noget for alle at gøre foruden at gå i kirke og lytte til Guds ord. De må følge den sandhed, de hører, gennemføre dens principper i deres daglige liv. De må stadig udføre arbejde for Kristus, ikke af egennyttige bevæggrunde, men med hans ære for øje, som gjorde enhver opofrelse for at frelse dem fra ødelæggelse.
