All Heaven is interested in the happiness of man. Our heavenly Father does not close the avenues of joy to any of His creatures. The divine requirements call upon us to shun those indulgences that would bring suffering and disappointment, that would close to us the door of happiness and heaven.... He [the world’s Redeemer] requires us to perform only those duties that will lead our steps to heights of bliss to which the disobedient can never attain. The true, joyous life of the soul is to have Christ formed within, the hope of glory. {FLB 226.3}

Hele himlen er interesseret i menneskenes lykke. Vor himmelske far lukker ikke glædens veje for nogen af Sine skabninger. De guddommelige krav kalder os til at undgå de karaktersvage nydelser som bringer lidelse og skuffelse, som vil lukke lykkens og himlens dør for os. . . . Han (verdens Forløser) kræver at vi kun udfører de opgaver som vil føre vore skridt til de lyksalige højder som den ulydige aldrig kan nå. Sjælens sande og glædesfyldte liv skal have Kristus, herlighedens håb, dannet inden i sig.
