Thousands have a false conception of God and His attributes. They are as verily serving a false god as were the servants of Baal. Are we worshiping the true God as He is revealed in His Word, in Christ, in nature, or are we adoring some philosophical idol enshrined in His place? God is a God of truth. Justice and mercy are the attributes of His throne. He is a God of love, of pity and tender compassion. Thus He is represented in His Son, our Saviour. He is a God of patience and long-suffering. If such is the being whom we adore and to whose character we are seeking to assimilate, we are worshiping the true God. {FLB 59.8}

Tusindevis har en forkert opfattelse af Gud og Hans egenskaber. De tjener sandelig en falsk gud, ligesom Baals tjenere gjorde. Dyrker vi den sande Gud, som Han er åbenbaret i sit Ord, i Kristus, i naturen, eller dyrker vi nogle filosofiske afguder i stedet for Gud? Gud er sandhedens Gud. Retfærdighed og nådighed er egenskaberne på Hans trone. Han er en kærlighedens, dydighedens og den medfølende Gud. Sådan fremstilles Han i Sin Søn, vor Frelser. Han er en tålmodighedens og langmodighedens Gud. Hvis dette er hvad vi besmykker os med, og hvis karakter vi søger at tilegne os, dyrker vi den sande Gud.
