Messages to Young People, p. 106

“The power of God, combined with human effort, has wrought out a glorious victory for us.
Shall we not appreciate this?
All the riches of heaven were given to us in Jesus….
God has resource of power of which we as yet know nothing,
And from these He will supply us in our time of need.”
