"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time." All heaven enters into co-partnership with those who come to Christ for eternal life, submitting themselves to him as those who have made a surrender of all to God. God requires his servants to stand under the bloodstained banner of Prince Emmanuel, striving in his power to keep the principles of truth pure and uncorrupted. They must never step aside from the path of self-denial and humility which every true Christian must travel. As they thus cooperate with God, Christ is formed within, "the hope of glory." Clad in his meekness and lowliness, they find their highest joy in doing his service. Earthly ambition gives way to a desire to serve the Master.

Ydmyg jer derfor under Guds stærke hånd, så vil han ophøje jer, når tiden kommer, 1Pet 5,6. Hele Himmelen indgår forbund med dem, der kommer til Kristus for at få evigt liv, idet de overgiver sig til ham, Gud kræver af sine tjenere, at de skal stå under prins Immanuels blodbestænkte banner og i hans kraft stræbe efter at bevare sandhedens principper rene og ufordærvede. De må aldrig vige bort fra selvfornægtelsens og ydmyghedens sti, ad hvilken enhver sand, kristen må vandre. Mens de således samarbejder med Gud, dannes Kristus, herlighedens håb (Kol. 1,27), i deres indre. Iklædt hans sagtmodighed og ydmyghed finder de deres største glæde i at udføre hans gerning. Jordisk stræben erstattes af ønsket om at tjene Mesteren.
