Ignorance is no excuse now for the transgression of law. The light shines clearly, and none need be ignorant, for the great God Himself is man’s instructor. All are bound by the most sacred obligations to God to heed the sound philosophy and genuine experience which He is now giving them in reference to health reform. He designs that the great subject of health reform shall be agitated and the public mind deeply stirred to investigate; for it is impossible for men and women, with all their sinful, health-destroying, brain-enervating habits, to discern sacred truth, through which they are to be sanctified, refined, elevated, and made fit for the society of heavenly angels in the kingdom of glory. {3T 162.1}

Uvidenhed er ingen undskyldning for lovovertrædelse. Lyset skinner klart og ingen behøver at vare uvidende, for Gud selv er menneskenes lærer. Alle er bundet med de helligste forpligtelser over for Gud til at give agt på den sunde lære og de reelle erfaringer som han vil give dem gennem helsereformen. Han har bestemt at dette vigtige emne om helsereformen skal forkyndes offentlig, for at vække folks interesse for at undersøge denne sandhed. Det er umulig for mænd og kvinder med alle sine syndige, helseødelæggende og nervesvækkende vaner skal kunne fatte den hellige sandhed som skal helliggøre dem, forædle dem og til sidst gøre dem skikket for engels selskab i herlighedens rige.
