In Every Discourse—More people than we think are longing to find the way to Christ. Those who preach the last message of mercy should bear in mind that Christ is to be exalted as the sinner’s refuge. Some ministers think that it is not necessary to preach repentance and faith; they take it for granted that their hearers are acquainted with the gospel, and that matters of a different nature must be presented in order to hold their attention. But many people are sadly ignorant in regard to the plan of salvation; they need more instruction upon this all-important subject than upon any other. {Ev 185.4}

I enhver prædiken - Flere end vi tror, længes efter at finde vejen til Kristus. De, som forkynder det sidste budskab om nåde, bør huske at Kristus skal ophøjes som syndens tilflugt. Nogle prædikanter mener at det ikke er nødvendig at prædike omvendelse og tro, fordi de anser det for givet at deres tilhørere kender evangeliet og at man, for at kunne holde deres opmærksomhed, (186) må tale om emner af anden art. Men mange mennesker er i sørgelig grad uvidende om frelsens plan; de behøver mere undervisning om dette overordentlig vigtige emne end om noget andet.
