The Inner Satisfaction of Being Right—Unselfishness, the principle of God’s kingdom, is the principle that Satan hates; its very existence he denies. From the beginning of the great controversy he has endeavored to prove God’s principles of action to be selfish, and he deals in the same way with all who serve God. To disprove Satan’s claim is the work of Christ and of all who bear His name. {2MCP 611.4}

Den indre tilfredshed at være på ret vej — Satan hader uselviskhed, som er grundprincippet i Guds rige. Han benægter ligefrem, at den er til. Lige fra den store strid begyndte, har han bestræbt sig for at bevise, at der lå selviskhed til grund for Guds handlemåde, og han optræder på samme måde over for alle, der tjener Gud. Det er Kristi og alle kristnes opgave at modbevise Satans påstand.
