God’s Method Vindicated—The confession of Achan, although too late to be available in bringing to him any saving virtue, yet vindicated the character of God in His manner of dealing with him, and closed the door to the temptation that so continually beset the children of Israel, to charge upon the servants of God the work that God Himself had ordered to be done (Letter 13, 1893).{2BC 997.4}

Guds metode bliver forsvaret. - Selv om Akans bekendelse kom for sent til at give ham frelsende livskraft, blev Guds karakter alligevel fremhævdet på Guds måde at behandle ham på, og lukkede døren for fristelse hele tiden omgav Israels børn, at pålægge Guds tjener det arbejde som Gud selv havde forordnet at blive gjort (Brev 13, 1893).
