It is the purpose of God to glorify Himself in His people before the world. He expects those who bear the name of Christ to represent Him in thought, word, and deed. Their thoughts are to be pure and their words noble and uplifting, drawing those around them nearer the Saviour. The religion of Christ is to be interwoven with all that they do and say. Their every business transaction is to be fragrant with the presence of God. {9T 21.2}

Det er Guds hensigt at herliggøre sig for verden gennem sit folk. Han venter, at de, der bærer Kristi navn, vil repræsentere ham i tanke, ord og handling. Deres tanker skal være rene og deres ord ædle og opløftende, så de drager alle omkring sig nærmere Frelseren. Kristi religion skal være indflettet i alt, hvad de gør og siger. Hver eneste deres forretningstransaktioner skal være duftende af Guds nærværelse.
