The Christian is to be a benefit to others. Thus he himself is benefited. “He that watereth shall be watered also himself.” Proverbs 11:25. This is a law of the divine administration, a law by which God designs that the streams of beneficence shall be kept, like the waters of the great deep, in constant circulation, perpetually returning to their source. In the fulfilling of this law is the power of Christian missions. {7T 170.2}

Den kristne skal være til nytte for andre. Derved bliver han selv hjulpet. »Gavmild sjæl bliver mæt; hvo andre kvæger, kvæges og selv.« Ordsp.11,25. Dette er en guddommelig håndhævet lov som Gud har planlagt at godgørenhedsstrømme skal holdes ved, ligesom det store dybs vande, der hele tiden cirkulerer, evigt vender til deres udspring. Den kristne missioners kraft er i fuldbyrdelsen af denne lov.
