Different InstrumentalitiesThe Lord has wrought with you, enabling you to act your part as His workman; but there are other workmen also who are to act their part as His instrumentalities. These help to compose the whole body. All are to be united as parts of one great organism. The Lord’s church is composed of living, working agencies, who derive their power to act from the Author and Finisher of their faith. They are to carry forward in harmony the great work resting on them. God has given you your work. But He has other instrumentalities, and to them He has given their work, that all may become, through sanctification of the truth, members of Christ’s body, of His flesh and of His bones. Representing Christ, we act for time and for eternity; and men, even worldly men, take knowledge of us that we have been with Jesus and have learned of Him. {8T 174.2}

Forskellig slags hjælp
Herren har arbejdet med dig, sat dig i stand til at gøre en del som sin arbejdsmand; men der er også andre arbejdsfolk som skal give del som hans redskaber. Disse hjælper til legemets sammensætning. Alle skal samles som dele af et stort legeme. Herrens menighed består af levende, arbejdende agenter, som får deres kræfter fra deres tros Ophav og Fuldender. De skal fremføre det store arbejde der påhviler dem. Gud har givet jer jeres arbejde. Men han har redskaber og til dem har han givet deres arbejde, så alle gennem sandhedens helligelse, bliver medlemmer af Kristi legeme, af hans kød og hans knogler. Ved at repræsentere Kristus, handler vi på vegne af tid og evighed og mennesker, endda verdslige mennesker, finder ud af at vi har været sammen med Kristus og har lært af ham.
