We individually have a case pending in the court of heaven. Character is being weighed in the balances of the sanctuary, and it should be the earnest desire of all to walk humbly and carefully, lest, neglecting to let their light shine forth to the world, they fail of the grace of God and lose everything that is valuable. All dissension, all differences and faultfinding, should be put away, with all evil speaking and bitterness; kindness, love, and compassion for one another should be cherished, that the prayer of Christ that His disciples might be one as He is one with the Father may be answered. The harmony and unity of the church are the credentials that they present to the world that Jesus is the Son of God. Genuine conversion will ever lead to genuine love for Jesus and for all those for whom He died. {5T 279.1}

Hver især har vi en sag kørende i himlens domssal. Karakteren vejes på helligdommens vægte og det bør være det alvorligste ønske af alt at vandre ydmygt og omhyggeligt, så de ikke, i forsømmelse for at lade lys skinne for verden, mister Guds nåde og mister alt værdifuldt. Al uenighed, alle forskelle og kritik, bør lægges bort, sammen med al ond tale og bitterhed; venlighed, kærlighed og medfølenhed for hinanden bør bevares, så Kristi bøn, om at hans disciple må være ét, ligesom han blev ét med faderen, må blive besvaret. Menighedens harmoni og enhed er de legemitionskort de giver verden på, at Jesus er Guds søn. Ægte omvendelse vil altid føre til ægte kærlighed til Jesus og til dem han døde for.
