Life is a manifestation of God’s love. It is a talent which God has committed to our care, and it is a very costly talent, as viewed in the light of the sacrifice of God’s Son. It is an expression of the ownership of God. We are His by creation, and doubly His by redemption. We derive our life from Him. He is the Creator and the Source of all life. He is the Author of the higher life which He desires the beings formed in His image to have. {FLB 30.3}

Livet er en manifestation af Guds kærlighed. Det er et talent som Gud har betroet i vor varetægt, og det er et meget kostbart talent, som ses i lyset af Guds søns offer. Det er et udtryk for Guds ejerforhold. Vi er Hans skabning, og dertil er vi også Hans ved forløsningen. Vort liv afstammer ud fra Ham. Han er Skaberen og al livs kildeudspring. Han har Ophavet til det højeste liv, som Han ønsker at hans væsener skal have hans billede.
