Jesus has purchased us at an infinite sacrifice. All our capabilities and our influence are indeed our Saviour’s, and should be dedicated to His service. By doing this we show our gratitude that we have been ransomed from the slavery of sin by the precious blood of Christ. Our Saviour is ever working for us. He has ascended on high and pleads in behalf of the purchase of His blood. He pleads before His Father the agonies of the crucifixion. He raises His wounded hands and intercedes for His church, that they may be kept from falling under temptation. {3T 396.3}

Kristus har købt os med et uendeligt offer. Alle vore evner og hele vor indflydelse tilhører i sandhed vor frelser og bør helliges til hans tjeneste. Ved at gøre dette viser vi vor taknemmelighed for, at vi er blevet løskøbt fra syndens trældom ved Kristi dyrebare blod. Vor frelser arbejder stadig for os. Han er steget op til det bøje og taler deres sag, hvem han har købt med sit blod. Han fremholder korsfæstelsens kvaler for Faderen. Han opløfter sine sårede hænder og går i forbøn for sin menighed, at den må blive bevaret fra at falde i fristelse.
