Chapter 6 1-5. Only One Sacrifice Can Secure Divine Favor—The Philistines hoped by their offerings to appease the wrath of God, but they were ignorant of the one great sacrifice which alone can secure to sinful men the divine favor. Those gifts were powerless to atone for sin; for the offerers did not through them express faith in Christ (The Signs of the Times, January 12, 1882).{2BC 1011.4}

Kapitel 6

1-5. Kun eet offer kan sikre guddommelig velvilje. - Filistrene håbede at de med deres ofre kunne stilne Guds vrede, men de kendte ikke til det ene store offer som alene kan sikre syndige mennesker den guddommelige gunst. Disse gaver var alene kraftsløse til at sone for synd; for ved disse ofrene udtryktes ikke troen på Kristus. (ST 12. jan., 1882).
