How can I best glorify Him whose I am by creation and by redemption? This is to be the question that we are to ask ourselves. With anxious solicitude the one who is truly converted seeks to rescue those who are still in Satan’s power. He refuses to do anything that would hinder him in his work. If he has children he realizes that his work must begin in his own family. His children are exceedingly precious to him. Remembering that they are the younger members of the Lord’s family, he strives with all his power to place them where they will stand on the Lord’s side. He has pledged himself to serve, honor, and obey Christ; and he puts forth patient, untiring effort so to train his children that they will never be hostile to the Saviour. {7T 10.2}

[Hvordan kan jeg bedst ære ham, som jeg tilhører i kraft af skabelsen og forløsningen? Dette spørgsmål må vi stille os selv. Med ængstelig omsorg søger den, som virkelig er omvendt, at redde dem, der stadig ligger under for Satans magt. Han nægter at gøre noget, der ville hindre ham i denne gerning. Hvis han har børn, forstår han, at arbejdet må begynde med hans egen familie. Hans børn er uendelig dyrebare for ham. Han ved, at de hører til de yngste medlemmer i Herrens familie, så han sætter al sin magt ind på at give dem et grundlag, så de vil vælge at stille sig på Herrens side. Han har forpligtet sig til at tjene, ære og adlyde Kristus. Derfor viser han tålmodig udholdenhed for at oplære sine børn, så de aldrig bliver fjendtligt indstillet mod Frelseren.
