God designs that we should preserve in simplicity and holiness our peculiarity as a people. Those who engage in this worldly policy invest means which belong to God, which He has entrusted to them to use in His cause, to advance His work. But few will realize any returns from life insurance, and without God’s blessing even these will prove an injury instead of a benefit. Those whom God has made His stewards have no right to place in the enemy’s ranks the means which He has entrusted to them to use in His cause. {1T 550.2}

Guds hensigt er, at vi i enfoldighed og hellighed skulle bevare vor ejendommelighed som et folk. De, der giver sig af med denne verdslige plan, bruger midler, som tilhører Gud og som han har betroet dem til brug i hans sag for at fremme hans værk. Kun få vil få noget igen af livsforsikringen og uden Guds velsignelse vil endog denne del vise sig at være til skade i stedet for til gavn. De, som Gud har gjort til sine husholdere, har ingen ret til at lade de midler, han har betroet dem til brug i hans sag, blive anbragt i fjendens rækker.
