God has not changed toward His faithful servants who are keeping their garments spotless. But many are crying, “Peace and safety,” while sudden destruction is coming upon them. Unless there is thorough repentance, unless men humble their hearts by confession and receive the truth as it is in Jesus, they will never enter heaven. When purification shall take place in our ranks, we shall no longer rest at ease, boasting of being rich and increased with goods, in need of nothing. {8T 250.1}

Gud har ikke skiftet sind overfor sine trofaste tjenere, der bevarer deres klæder uplettede. Men mange råber: "Fred og ingen fare" medens undergangen pludselig kommer over dem. Medmindre et menneskes anger er fuldstændig og det ved bekendelse ydmyger sit hjerte og tager imod sandheden, som den er i Jesus, vil det aldrig komme ind i himmelen. Når der engang finder en renselse sted i vore rækker, vil vi ikke længere hvile i magelighed og rose os af at være rige, at have vundet rigdom og ikke trænge til noget .
