Reliance on God Is True Security—Satan is well aware that the weakest soul who abides in Christ is more than a match for the hosts of darkness, and that, should he reveal himself openly, he would be met and resisted. Therefore he seeks to draw away the soldiers of the cross from their strong fortification, while he lies in ambush with his forces, ready to destroy all who venture upon his ground. Only in humble reliance upon God, and obedience to all His commandments, can we be secure.—The Great Controversy, 530 (1888). {2MCP 613.1}

Tillid til Gud er ægte sikkerhed — Satan er ganske klar over, at selv den svageste sjæl, som holder fast ved Kristus, er stærkere end alle mørkets magter, og at han, hvis han viste sig åbenlyst, ville være ude af stand til at sejre. Derfor forsøger han at lokke korsets stridsmænd bort fra deres stærke fæstning, mens han ligger i baghold med sine følgesvende, parat til at tilintetgøre enhver, der vover sig ind på hans område. Kun ved ydmygt at sætte vor lid til Gud og adlyde alle hans bud, finder vi sikkerhed.—Den store strid, 530 (1888).
