Jesus expects all who claim to be His soldiers to do service for Him. He expects you to recognize the enemy and to resist him, not to invite him to your confidence and thus betray sacred trust. The Lord has placed you in a position where you may be elevated and ennobled, and be constantly gaining fitness for His work. If you do not obtain these qualifications you alone are to blame. {5T 511.4}

Jesus forventer at alle, som hævder at være hans soldater, gør tjeneste (512) for ham. Han forventer at du ser fjenden og modstår ham, ikke indbyder ham i tillid og derved bedrager din hellige tillid. Herren har sat dig i en position, hvor du kan ophøjes og forædles og hele tiden få udmærkelse for hans arbejde. Hvis du ikke opnår disse egenskaber er du kun til skam.
