Just as soon as a person is really converted to the truth there springs up in his heart an earnest desire to go and tell some friend or neighbor of the precious light shining forth from the sacred pages. In his unselfish labor to save others he is a living epistle, known and read of all men. His life shows that he has been converted to Christ and has become a colaborer with Him. {5T 386.2}

Lige så snart som et menneske virkelig er omvendt til sandheden, opstår der i hans hjerte et alvorligt ønske om at gå og fortælle en ven eller en nabo om det dyrebare lys, der skinner fra de hellige blade. I sit uegennyttige arbejde for at frelse andre er han et levende brev, der kendes og læses af alle mennesker. Hans liv viser, at han er blevet omvendt til Kristus og er blevet hans medarbejder.
