God loves the children of Brother D, but they are in fearful danger of feeling whole, and in no need of a physician. Trusting in their own righteousness will never save them. They must feel the need of a Saviour. Christ came to save sinners. Said Jesus: “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” The Pharisees, who felt that they were righteous, and who trusted in their good works, felt no need of a Saviour. They felt that they were well enough off without Christ. {4T 42.2}

Gud holder af Bror D's børn, men de er i frygtelig fare for føle sig helbredte og ikke har brug for en læge. Det vil aldrig frelse nogen at stole på sin egen retfærdighedsfølelse. Man må føle et behov for en Frelser. Kristus kom for at frelse syndere. Jesus sagde: »Jeg er ikke kommen for at kalde retfærdige, men syndere.« Farisæerne, som følte de var retfærdige og som satte deres lid til deres gode gerninger, følte ikke noget behov for en Frelser. De følte at de var gode nok uden Kristus.
