Chapter 6 2. Co-operation With God Avoids Cain-worship—Had man co-operated with God, there would have been no Cain-worshipers. Abel’s example of obedience would have been followed. Men might have worked out the will of God. They might have obeyed His law, and in obedience they would have found salvation. God and the heavenly universe would have helped them to retain the divine likeness. Longevity would have been preserved; and God would have delighted in the work of His hands (The Review and Herald, December 27, 1898).{1BC 1088.3}

kapitel 6

2.Samarbejde med Gud undgår Kains gudsdyrkelse.- Havde mennesket samarbejdet med Gud, ville der ikke have været nogen Kain-tilbedere. Abels eksempel på lydighed skulle være fulgt op. Mennesker kunne have udvirket Guds vilje. De skulle have adlydt Hans lov, og i lydighed vil de have fundet frelse. Gud og det himmelske univers, vil have hjulpet dem til at beholde den guddommelige lighed. Den lange levetid ville være bevaret, og Gud ville frydet sig med Sine hænders arbejde (RH dec. 27, 1898).
