Transgression Brought No New Order of Energies and Passions—We are not to suppose that since the transgression of Adam, God has given to human beings a new order of energies and passions, for then it would appear that God had interfered to implant in the human race sinful propensities. Christ began His work of conversion as soon as man transgressed, that through obedience to the law of God and faith in Christ they might regain the lost image of God.— Manuscript 60, 1905.{1MCP 29.1}

Overtrædelse giver en ny orden af kraft og lidenskaber - Vi skal ikke tro at Gud, siden Adams overtrædelse, har givet mennesker en ny orden for kræfter og lidenskaber, for så vil det se ud som om at Gud har grebet ind og implanteret syndige tilbøjeligheder i menneskeslægten. Kristus begyndte Sit omvendelsesarbejde lige så snart mennesket overtrådte, så de igennem lydighed mod Guds lov og troen på Jesus kan genoprette Guds tabte billede. - MS 60, 1905.
