(Ephesians 2:8). Keep Commandments Under Abrahamic Covenant—If it were not possible for human beings under the Abrahamic covenant to keep the commandments of God, every soul of us is lost. The Abrahamic covenant is the covenant of grace. “By grace ye are saved.” [John 1:11, 12 quoted.] Disobedient children? No, obedient to all His commandments. If it were not possible for us to be commandment-keepers, then why does He make the obedience to His commandments the proof that we love Him? (Letter 16, 1892).{1BC 1092.5}

(Ef. 2,8). Hold budene under Abrahams pagt. - Hvis det ikke var muligt for mennesker at være under Abrahams pagt, for at holde Guds bud, er enhver sjæl I os tabt. Abrahams pagt er nådens pagt. ”Ved nåde er i frelst.” [Joh. 1,11.12 citeret.] Ulydige børn? Nej, lydige mod alle Hans bud. Hvis det ikke var muligt for os at være lovlydige, hvorfor gør Han så lydigheden mod Hans bud til et bevis for at vi elsker Ham? (Brev 16, 1892).
