But the infinite sacrifice of God in giving Jesus, His beloved Son, to become a sacrifice for sin, enables Him to say, without violating one principle of His government: “Yield yourself up to Me; give Me that will; take it from the control of Satan, and I will take possession of it; then I can work in you to will and to do of My good pleasure.” When He gives you the mind of Christ, your will becomes as His will, and your character is transformed to be like Christ’s character.—Testimonies for the Church 5:515 (1889). {2MCP 686.1}

(686) Guds uendeligt store offer, da han gav Jesus, den elskelige søn, sætter ham i stand til, uden at bryde noget princip, der hører til hans regeringsmåde, at sige: "Overgiv dig til mig; giv mig din vilje; løsriv den fra Satans kontrol og jeg vil tage den i besiddelse; da kan jeg virke i dig at ville og virke efter mit velbehag." Når han giver dig Kristi sind, vil din vilje blive som hans vilje og din karakter vil blive forvandlet så den bliver lig Kristi karakter. — Vidnesbyrd for menigheden 5:515 (1889).
