2. Nothing Too Precious to Give to God—This act of faith in Abraham is recorded for our benefit. It teaches us the great lesson of confidence in the requirements of God, however close and cutting they may be; and it teaches children perfect submission to their parents and to God. By Abraham’s obedience we are taught that nothing is too precious for us to give to God (The Signs of the Times, January 27, 1887).{1BC 1094.3}

2. Intet er får dyrebart at give til Gud. - Denne troshandling hos Abraham, står nedtegnet for vor skyld. Den lærer os den store lektie i tillid til Guds forlangender, uanset hvor nøje og skærende de måtte være; og den underviser børn i fuldstændig underlægges under deres for ældre og til Gud. Ved Abrahams lydighed lærer vi at intet er for dyrebart for os at give til Gud (Samme., 27. Jan., 1887).
