Every power lent us by God, whether physical, mental, or spiritual, is to be sacredly cherished to do the work assigned us for our fellow men who are perishing in their ignorance. Every man is to stand at his post of duty untrammeled, each serving the Lord in humility, each responsible for his own work. “Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.” He “will render to every man according to his deeds.” Colossians 3:23, 24; Romans 2:6. {7T 180.3}

Enhver kraft Gud har lånt os, om den er fysisk, mental eller åndelig skal der værnes om som en hellig betroelse til at gøre det arbejde vi har fået anvist for vore medmenneskers skyld som går fortabt i deres uvidenhed. Ethvert menneske skal stå ubesværet ved sin post, enhver tjene Herren i ydmyghed, enhver ansvarsskyldig for sit eget værk. »Hvad I end har for, gør det af hjertet som for Herren og ikke for mennesker. I ved jo, at I til gengæld af Herren skal få arven; Kristus skal være den Herre, I tjener.« »Han skal »gengælde enhver efter hans gerninger« Kol.3,23.24. Rom.2,6.
