God’s Relation to Man to Be Made Plain—It is of the highest importance that every human being to whom God has given reasoning powers understand his relation to God. It is for his present and eternal good to inquire at every step, Is this the way of the Lord?...We need to call most earnestly upon every human being to compare his character with the law of God, the standard of character for all who would enter His kingdom, and become citizens of the heavenly country.— Manuscript 67, 1898. {1MCP 188.4}

Guds åbenbaring til mennesker bør gøres tydelig. - Det er af største betydning at ethvert menneske som Gud har givet forstand til at forstå sit forhold til Gud. Det er for hans nuværende og evige gode at spørge for hvert skridt: Er dette vejen Herre? . . . Vi behøver at kalde aller alvorligst på ethvert menneske til at sammenligne (189) sin karakter med Guds lov, karakterstandarden for alle som vil ind i Hans rige og blive borgere i det himmelske land. - MS 67, 1898.
