In the contemplation of this great theme of salvation, we see Christ’s work. Not only the promised gift of the Spirit, but also the nature and character of this sacrifice and intervention, is a subject which should create in our hearts elevated, sacred, high ideas of the law of God, which holds its claims upon every human agency. The violation of that law in the small act of eating of the forbidden fruit, brought upon man and upon the earth the consequence of disobedience to the holy law of God. The nature of the intervention should ever make man afraid to do the smallest action in disobedience to God’s requirement.{6BC 1109.12}

I beskuelsen af dette store frelsestema, ser vi Kristi gerning. Ikke kun Åndens udlovede gave, men også naturen og karakteren af dette offer og mellemkomst, er et tema som vil skabe ophøjede, hellige og høje tanker om Guds lov i vore hjerter, - en lov som gør krav på ethvert menneske. Overtrædelsen af denne lov som at spise af den forbudne frugt, bragte konsekvenserne af ulydighed mod Guds hellige lov over mennesker og over jorden. Mellemkomstens burde altid gøre mennesket bange for den mindste ulydighedshandling mod Gud krav.
