To these youth I am authorized to say: Repent ye and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out. There is no time for you to waste. Heaven and immortal life are valuable treasures that cannot be obtained without an effort on your part. No matter how faultless may have been your lives, as sinners you have steps to take. You are required to repent, believe, and be baptized. Christ was wholly righteous; yet He, the Saviour of the world, gave man an example by Himself taking the steps which He requires the sinner to take to become a child of God, and heir of heaven. {4T 40.3}

Til disse unge har jeg lov at sige: Søg anger og omvend jer, så jeres synder kan udslettes. Der er ingen tid for jer at spilde. Himmelen og evigt liv er værdifulde rigdomme, der ikke opnås uden anstrengelse fra jeres side. Uanset hvor fejlfrie jeres liv har været, har I - som syndere - skridt at tage. I er pålagt at omvende jer, tro og blive døbt. Kristus var helt igennem retfærdig; alligevel gav han - alverdens Frelser - mennesket et eksempel, ved at gå de skridt han forlanger af synderen for at blive et Guds barn og himmelens arving.
