Bukan tujuan Tuhan bahwa umat-Nya harus tinggal atau menetap bersama dalam komunitas yang besar. Murid-murid Kristus adalah wakil-Nya di bumi, dan Allah merancang bahwa mereka akan tersebar di seluruh negeri, di kota-kota besar, dan desa-desa, sebagai terang di tengah-tengah kegelapan dunia. Mereka harus menjadi misionaris bagi Allah, melalui iman dan pekerjaan mereka bersaksi tentang kedatangan Juruselamat yang hampir mendekat. {8T 244.3}
Tulisan aslinya :
It is not the purpose of God that His people should colonize or settle together in large communities. The disciples of Christ are His representatives upon the earth, and God designs that they shall be scattered all over the country, in the towns, cities, and villages, as lights amidst the darkness of the world. They are to be missionaries for God, by their faith and works testifying to the near approach of the coming Saviour. {8T 244.3}
