New virtues are revealed in his character as he denies self and lifts the cross, following where Christ leads the way. He loves the Lord Jesus with his whole heart, and Christ becomes his wisdom, his righteousness, his sanctification, and his redemption. {9T 151.3}

Nye dyder vil ses i hans karakter, efter hvert som han underkuer egennytten og løfter korset op og følger Kristus, hvor han går. Han elsker Herren af hele sit hjerte og (152) Kristus bliver hans visdom, hans retfærdighed, hans helliggørelse og forløsning.
