Present truth leads onward and upward, gathering in the needy, the oppressed, the suffering, the destitute. All that will come are to be brought into the fold. In their lives there is to take place a reformation that will constitute them members of the royal family, children of the heavenly King. By hearing the message of truth, men and women are led to accept the Sabbath and to unite with the church by baptism. They are to bear God’s sign by observing the Sabbath of creation. They are to know for themselves that obedience to God’s commandments means eternal life. {8T 195.4}

Kristne bør, uanset hvor de går, føre en liflig duft af Kristi retfærdighed med sig og vise at de efterkommer indbydelsen: »Lær af mig, thi jeg er sagtmodig og ydmyg af hjertet; så skal I finde hvile for jeres sjæle.« Matt. 11,29. Er I dagligt elever i Kristi skole, - lærer I hvordan tvivl og onde tanker fjernes, lærer I hvordan I skal være ærlige og ophøjede i jeres omgang med jeres brødre, for jeres egen skyld og for Kristi skyld?
