2, 27. Christ’s Life an Oblation to God—“Christ also hath loved us,” writes Paul, “and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.” This is the oblation of a life-gift in our behalf, that we may be all that He desires us to be—representatives of Him, expressing the fragrance of His character, His own pure thoughts, His divine attributes as manifested in His sanctified human life, in order that others may behold Him in His human form, and, comprehending God’s wonderful design, be led to desire to be like Christ—pure, undefiled, wholly acceptable to God, without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing (Manuscript 159, 1903).{6BC 1118.4}9. See EGW comment on Galatians 5:22, 23.{6BC 1118.5}23-25. See EGW comment on Revelation 19:7-9.{6BC 1118.6}

2, 27. Kristi liv et offer til Gud. - "Kristus har også elsket os," skriver Paulus, "og har givet sig selv for os et offer og opofrelse til Gud som en liflig duft." Dette er offeret af en livsgave for vor skyld, at vi må være alt som Han ønsker at vi skal være - repræsentanter for Ham, der udsender velduften af Hans karakter, Hans regne rene tanker, Hans guddommelige egenskaber som vises i Hans hellige menneskeliv, for at andre kan beskue Ham i Hans menneskelige for, og fatte Guds forunderlige plan, ledes til et ønske om at være som Kristus - ren, ubesmittet, helt antagelig for Gud, uden plet eller rynke eller noget sådant. (MS 159, 1903).
