Christ’s love for His children is as tender as it is strong. And it is stronger than death; for He died to purchase our salvation, and to make us one with Him, mystically and eternally one. So strong is His love that it controls all His powers, and employs the vast resources of heaven in doing His people good. It is without variableness or shadow of turning—the same yesterday, today, and forever. Although sin has existed for ages, trying to counteract this love and obstruct its flowing earthward, it still flows in rich currents to those for whom Christ died. {TM 519.1}

Kristi kærlighed for hans børn er lige så blid som den er stærk. Og den er stærkere end døden; for han døde for at anskaffe vor frelse, og gøre os ét med ham, et mystisk og et evigt ét. Så stærk er hans kærlighed at den styrer al hans kraft, og iværksætter megen stor hjælp i himlen for at gøre hans folk det godt. Det er uden foranderlighed eller skygge af ombestemmelse - den samme i går, i dag, og for evigt. Selv om synd har eksisteret i lange tider, forsøgt at modvirke denne kærlighed og være i vejen for dens jordiske strømme, flyder den stadig i rige strømme til dem som Kristus døde for.
