Chapter 61—Worldly-Mindedness Dear Brother F,It is time that we were closely examining our hearts to see whether or not we are in the faith and in the love of God. If there is not an awakening among us who have had so great light and so many privileges, we shall sink to ruin, and our fate will be worse than that of Chorazin and Bethsaida; “for,” as Christ said of those cities, “if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.” {5T 529.2}

Kære bror F: Det er på tide at vi ransager vore hjerter grundigt, for at se om vi er i Guds tro og kærlighed eller ikke. Hvis der ikke er en opvækkelse blandt os, som har fået så stort lys og så mange privilegier, vil vi synke i fordærv og vor skæbne vil være værre end den i Korazin og Betsajda; »thi« som Kristus sagde om disse byer, »hvis de kraftige gerninger, som er sket i jer, var sket i Tyrus og Zidon, så havde de for længe siden vendt sig i sæk og aske."
