Those who truly receive Christ are given power to become the sons of God. As they look to Jesus, they catch the divine rays of light, and are attracted by the loveliness and purity and goodness of the Saviour. They seek to copy his pleasantness, rather than the harsh violence manifested by those who disregard the laws of God. And as they keep before them the fear of God, and walk as obedient children, others will mark their Christlikeness of character, and will be drawn to the Saviour by the revelation of their love, their justice, and their mercy. Yet some will refuse to come to the Saviour, choosing darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil.

Dem som oprigtigt tager imod Kristus får kraft til at blive Guds sønner. Idet de ser på Jesus, griber de guddomme lysstråler, og tiltrækkes af Frelserens elskelighed, renhed og godhed. De søger at efterligne hans behagelighed, frem for den hårde voldsomhed, de viser som ignorer Guds lov. Og idet de holder gudsfrygten frem for sig, og vandrer som lydige børn, vil andre lægge mærke til deres Kristus-lignende karakter, og vil drages til Frelseren ved åbenbaringen af deres kærlighed, deres retfærdighed og deres barmhjertighed. Nogle vil nægte at komme til Frelseren, vælge mørket frem for lyset, fordi deres gerninger er onde.
