They could detect no error in their reckoning...The ablest of their opponents had not succeeded in overthrowing their position....God did not forsake His people; His Spirit still abode with those who did not rashly deny the light which they had received...To renounce their faith now, and deny the power of the Holy Spirit which had attended the message, would be drawing back toward perdition....Their only safe course was to cherish the light which they had already received of God..."
Waliweza kutambua kuwa hakukuwa na kosa katika kulinganisha matukio Mwenye uwezo zaidi katika wapinzani wao hakuweza kufanikiwa katika kushinda maoni yao .Mungu hakuwaacha watu wake; Roho wake bado alikaa pamoja na wale ambao hawakuikana kwa haraka nuru ambayo walikuwa wameipokea...Kutupilia mbali imani yao sasa, na kukana nguvu ya Roho Mtakatifu ambayo ilikuwa imeandamana na ujumbe, ingekuwa kurudi nyuma kuelekea uharibifu .Njia yao tu ya usalama ilikuwa ni kuendelea kushikilia nuru ambayo tayari walikuwa wamepokea toka kwa Mungu... Spirit of Prophecy, gombo la 4, ukr. 254, 256-257.
