The consciousness of being God’s servant should inspire the minister with energy and diligence perseveringly to discharge his duty, with an eye single to the glory of his Master. God has given to each of his messengers his distinctive work; and while there is a diversity of gifts, all are to blend harmoniously in carrying forward the great work of salvation. They are only instruments of divine grace and power.{LP 126.2}

Bevidstheden om at være Guds tjenere skulle inspirere prædikanten med energi og ihærdig udholdende udføre sin pligt, med øjnene rettet mod sin Mesters ære. Gud har givet enhver sine budbringere sit særlige arbejde; og når der er forskellige begavelser, skal alle blande sig harmonisk for at udføre det store frelsesarbejde. De er kun redskaber af guddommelig nåde og kraft.
