Behold Christ by Studying His Life—[2 Corinthians 3:18 quoted.] Beholding Christ means studying His life as given in His Word. We are to dig for truth as for hidden treasure. We are to fix our eyes upon Christ. When we take Him as our personal Saviour, this gives us boldness to approach the throne of grace. By beholding we become changed, morally assimilated to the One who is perfect in character. By receiving His imputed righteousness, through the transforming power of the Holy Spirit, we become like Him. The image of Christ is cherished, and it captivates the whole being (Manuscript 148, 1897).{6BC 1098.1}

Se Kristus ved at studere Hans liv. - [2 kor. 3,18 citeret.] At beskue Kristus betyder at studere Hans liv som det står i Hans Ord. Vi skal grave efter sandhed som efter skjult skat. Vi skal holde vore øjne fæstnet på Kristus. Når vi tager Ham som vor personlige frelser, giver dette os frimodighed til at nærme os nådens trone. Ved beskuelse bliver vi forandret, moralsk opsimuleret i Ham, som er fuldkommen i karakter. Ved at modtage Hans tillagte retfærdighed, gennem Helligåndens forvandlende kraft, bliver vi ligesom Ham. Kristi billede bevares i os, og det griber hele mennesket. (MS 148, 1897).
