Wherever you find a Christian, you find a shining light. In word and act he reveals the Light of life. His perceptions are not crusted with selfishness. Not having followed inclination, he does not stubbornly cling to his convictions. He perceives the truth, and is blessed by its sacred influence; he sees the verity of God's Word, and its infinite superiority to everything selfish; he sees the foolishness of following plans of human devising in the place of God's plans. His ability to see these things is from God, and qualifies him to be God's representative, to bear with authority the word of truth to others. He has been converted; he loves God supremely, and his neighbor as himself.

Hvor du end finder en kristen, finder du et skinnende lys. lord og gerninger åbenbarer han livets lys. Hans opfattelsesevne er ikke sløvet af selviskhed. Da han ikke har fulgt sine tilskyndelser, klynger han sig ikke hårdnakket til sin overbevisning. Han mærker sig sandheden og bliver velsignet ved dens hellige indflydelse; han ser sandheden i Guds ord og dets umådelige fortrin frem for alt selvisk; han ser det tåbelige i at følge menneskers planer i stedet for Guds. Hans evne til at se dette stammer fra Gud og gør ham kvalificeret til at være Guds repræsentant, der med autoritet bringer sandhedens ord til andre. Han er blevet omvendt; han elsker Gud over alt andet og sin næste som sig selv.
