Christ came to the world to counteract Satan’s falsehood that God had made a law which men could not keep. Taking humanity upon Himself, He came to this earth, and by a life of obedience showed that God has not made a law that man cannot keep. He showed that it is possible for man perfectly to obey the law. Those who accept Christ as their Saviour, becoming partakers of His divine nature, are enabled to follow His example, living in obedience to every precept of the law. Through the merits of Christ, man is to show by his obedience that he could be trusted in heaven, that he would not rebel. {FLB 114.2}

Kristus kom til verden for at modvirke Satans falskneri, at Gud havde lavet en lov som mennesker ikke kan holde. Da han påtog sig Selv ydmyghed, kom han til denne jord, og ved et liv i lydighed viste han at Gud ikke hade lavet en lov som mennesker ikke kan holde. Han viste at det var muligt for mennesker at adlyde loven fuldstændigt. Den som accepterer Kristus som deres Frelser, får del i Hans guddommelige natur, er i stand til at følge Hans eksempel, leve i lydighed mod alle forskrifter i loven. Gennem Kristi fortjenester, skal mennesker ved sin lydighed vise at det passer til himmelen, og at det ikke vil gøre oprør.
