By contemplation of God’s matchless love, we take upon us His nature. Christ was a representative before men and before angels, of the character of the God of heaven. He demonstrated the fact that when humanity depends wholly upon God, men may keep God’s commandments and live, and His law be as the apple of the eye. {TM 226.2}

Ved beskuelse af Guds mageløse kærlighed, tager vi hans natur på os. Kristus var et eksempel for mennesker og for engle, af den himmelske Guds karakter. Han viste den kendsgerning at når menneskelighed afhænger sig helt af Gud, kan mennesker holde Guds bud og leve, og hans lov vil blive som en øjesten.
