Sanctified ministry calls for self-denial. The cross must be uplifted and its place in the gospel work shown. Human influence is to draw its efficacy from the One who is able to save and to keep saved all who recognize their dependence on Him. By the union of church members with Christ and with one another the transforming power of the gospel is to be diffused throughout the world. {6T 240.1}

Helliget præstetjeneste kræver selvfornægtelse. Korset må opløftes og dets placering i evangeliearbejdet skal gøres tydelig. Menneskelig indflydelse drager dens virkningsfuldhed fra ham, som kan frelse og frelser alle, som vedkender deres afhængighed af ham. Ved menighedsmedlemmers enhed med Kristus og med hinanden, bliver evangeliets forvandlende kraft spredt udover verden.
