How awfully solemn are these words! How important that we should not be found rejecting the warnings and admonitions that God delivers through His humble instruments; for in slighting the light brought by His messengers, we slight the Saviour of the world, the King of glory. Many are running this terrible risk and are thus bringing upon themselves the condemnation of God. The Almighty will not be trifled with, nor allow His voice to be disregarded with impunity. {4T 197.2}

Hvor alvorlige er disse ord dog ikke! Hvor vigtigt er det ikke at vi ikke findes i færd med at forkaste de advarsler og formaninger, som Gud overbringer gennem sine ydmyge redskaber; for ringeagtes lyset til hans budbringere, ringeagtes verdens Frelser, herlighedens Konge. Mange løber denne frygtelige risiko og pådrager sig derved Guds dom. Den Almægtige er ikke til at spøge med, ej heller ignoreres hans røst ustraffet.
