Without this education all the teachings received from your instructors in regard to forms and rules, however thorough the lessons may be, will leave you still novices in the work. You must learn of Christ. You should deny self for Christ. You should put your neck under the yoke of Christ. You must carry the burden of Christ. You must feel that you are not your own, but servants of Christ, doing a work that He has enjoined upon you, not for any praise or honor or glory that you shall receive, but for His own dear sake. Into all your work you should weave His grace, His love, His devotion, His zeal, His untiring perseverance, His indomitable energy, that will tell for time and for eternity. {4T 602.4}

Uden denne uddannelse vil al lærdom fra jeres lærer om former og regler, hvor grundige (603) lektierne kan være, efterlade jer som stadigvæk nybegyndere. I må lære af Kristus. I bør fornægte selvet for Kristus. I bør lægge jeres hals under Kristi åg. I må bære Kristi byrde. I må føle at I ikke er jeres egne, men Kristi tjenere, der gør et arbejde han har pålagt jer, ikke for ros eller ære eller hæder som I skal have, men for jeres egen skyld. I al jeres arbejde bør I indvæve hans nåde, hans kærlighed, hans helligelse, hans iver, hans utrættelige udholdenhed, hans ukuelige energi, som vil tælle for tid og evighed.
