5. Christ Can Ransom Every Soul—It was not alone by dying on the cross that Christ accomplished His work of saving men. The ignominy and suffering and humiliation was a part of His mission. “He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” This penalty Christ bore for the sins of the transgressor; He has borne the punishment for every man and for this reason He can ransom every soul, however fallen his condition, if he will accept the law of God as his standard of righteousness (Manuscript 77, 1899). {4BC 1147.5}

5. Kristus kan løskøbe enhver sjæl. - Det var ikke kun ved at dø på korset at Kristus udførte Sit menneskefrelsende arbejde. Forsmædeligheden, lidelsen og ydmygelsen var en del af hans mission. ”Men han blev såret for vore overtrædelser, knust for vor brødres skyld; os til fred kom straf over ham, vi fik lægedom ved hans sår.” Denne straf bar (1148) Kristus for overtræderens synder, Han har båret ethvert menneskes straf og af den grund kan Han løskøbe enhver sjæl, uanset hvor falden tilstanden er, hvis sjælen vil acceptere Guds lov som sin retfærdighedsstandard (MS 77, 1899).
