Read Revelation 1:4–6. How did understanding the meaning of these verses change Amos’ life?

This verse freed Amos from his hate.

He knew that it was a big step he was taking, this move to a new part of the land, far from the familiar, the known, the safe and secure. Yet he was going far too from the memory of toil as another's chattel, from indignity and privation and the long slow years of servitude. He no longer had his youth, nor the stout strength of his early manhood, but he still had his vision; a compound of words read by a little Quaker girl in a clear voice, words that had burned themselves into his mind and burned away the shackles hate had put to his lips: "Unto him that loved us, and hath made us Kings and priests unto God." In his memory he knew he had been born a king, but it was the little Roxanna reading from the Bible who had shown him the only way that he could become a king. So he had lived his life thereafter and so he would continue to live it as long as strength and manhood lasted within him.
