The transforming power of Christ’s grace molds the one who gives himself to God’s service. Imbued with the Spirit of the Redeemer, he is ready to deny self, ready to take up the cross, ready to make any sacrifice for the Master. No longer can he be indifferent to the souls perishing around him. He is lifted above self-serving. He has been created anew in Christ, and self-serving has no place in his life. He realizes that every part of his being belongs to Christ, who has redeemed him from the slavery of sin; that every moment of his future has been bought with the precious lifeblood of God’s only-begotten Son. {7T 9.2}

[Kristi nådes forvandlende magt former og danner den, der forpligter sig til at tjene Gud. Gennemsyret af Forløserens Ånd, er han rede til at fornægte sig selv, rede til at tage korset op, rede til at bringe et hvilket som helst offer for Mesteren. Han er ikke længere ligegyldig over for mennesker der går fortabt omkring ham. Han er hævet over at søge sit eget. (10) Han er skabt på ny i Kristus og det har ikke længere nogen betydning for ham at tjene sig selv. Han forstår, at hver eneste del af hans væsen tilhører Kristus, som har forløst ham fra syndens slaveri. Hvert øjeblik af hele hans fremtid er købt med Guds enbårne Søns dyrebare blod.
