Edenic Mind of Man Restored—Jesus became a man that He might mediate between man and God. He clothed His divinity with humanity, He associated with the human race, that with His long human arm He might encircle humanity, and with His divine arm grasp the throne of Divinity. And this, that He might restore to man the original mind which he lost in Eden through Satan’s alluring temptation; that man might realize that it is for his present and eternal good to obey the requirements of God. Disobedience is not in accordance with the nature which God gave to man in Eden (Letter 121, 1897).{7BC 926.4}

Edens sindelag i mennesket genoprettet.--Jesus blev menneske for at mægle mellem Gud og mennesket. Han iførte sig menneskelighed, han levede blandt mennesker for med sin menneskelige arm, at omfavne menneskeheden og med den Guddommelige arm holdt han fast ved Guds trone. Dette gjorde han for at genoprette i mennesket det sind, som det oprindelig havde, men tabte i Edens have ved syndefaldet, og for at mennesket skulle indse, at det er for dets eget bedste både nu og i al fremtid at adlyde Guds bud. Ulydighed er ikke i overensstemmelse med den natur, Gud gav mennesket fra begyndelsen. (Brev 121, 1897).
