As those who have spent their lives in the service of God draw near the close of their earthly history, they will be impressed by the Holy Spirit to recount the experiences they have had in connection with His work. The record of His wonderful dealings with His people, of His great goodness in delivering them from trial, should be repeated to those newly come to the faith. The trials also that have been brought on the servants of God by the apostasy of some once united with them in labor, and the working of the Holy Spirit to make of none effect the falsehoods told against those who were holding the beginning of their confidence firm unto the end, should be related. {7T 288.2}

Når dem som har brugt deres liv på at tjene Gud nærmer sig afslutningen af deres jordiske historie, vil de blive indprentet af Helligånden til at opregne de erfaringer de har haft i forbindelse med hans arbejde. Optegnelsen af hans underfulde gerninger med sig folk og hans store godhed at udfri dem fra trængsler, burde blive gentaget med dem der nylig kommer til troen. Der bør også fortælles om prøvelser, som har været påført Guds tjenere, ved nogens frafald, som engang var forenet med dem i arbejdet og Helligåndens virke for at neutralisere falskheder fortalt om dem, som fastholdt deres overbevisning indtil enden.
