To dwell forever in this home of the blest, to bear in soul, body, and spirit, not the dark traces of sin and the curse, but the perfect likeness of our Creator, and through ceaseless ages to advance in wisdom, in knowledge, and in holiness, ever exploring new fields of thought, ever finding new wonders and new glories, ever increasing in capacity to know and to enjoy and to love, and knowing that there is still beyond us joy and love and wisdom infinite—such is the object to which the Christian’s hope is pointing, for which Christian education is preparing. To secure this education, and to aid others to secure it, should be the object of the Christian’s life. {CT 55.2}

At bo for altid i dette hjem for den velsignede, at ikke have syndens mørke spor i sjæl, legeme og ånd, men vor Skabers fuldkomne lighed, og i uophørlige tider vokse i visdom, i kundskab og i hellighed, altid udforske nye tankebaner, altid finde nye undere og ny herlighed, altid vokse i kapacitet og vide og nyde og elske og vide at der stadig er uendelig glæde, kærlighed og uendelig visdom bagved - dette er målet som den kristnes håb peger mod, for hvilket kristen uddannelse forbereder sig til. At sikre sig denne uddannelse, og hjælpe andre til at få den, bør være kristenlivets mål.
