It is as true now as when the words were spoken to Israel of obedience to His commandments: "This is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations." Deuteronomy 4:6. Here is the only safeguard for individual integrity, for the purity of the home, the well-being of society, or the stability of the nation. Amidst all life's perplexities and dangers and conflicting claims, the one safe and sure rule is to do what God says. "The statutes of the Lord are right," and "he that doeth these things shall never be moved." Psalms 19:8; 15:5.

Det er en lige så stor sandhed i dag som på Israels tid, at lydighed mod Guds bud "skal være eders visdom og eders forstand i de andre folks øjne". 5Mos. 4,6. Dette er det eneste, der kan sikre et menneskes retskaffenhed, bevare hjemmets renhed, samfundets sundhed og landets styrke. I alle de problemer, farer og konfliktsituationer, som møder os i livet, er det sikreste, vi kan gøre, at rette os efter, hvad Gud siger. "Herrens forskrifter er rette," "hvo således gør, skal aldrig rokkes." Sl. 19,9; 15,5.
