The Spirit of God is continually impressing the minds of men to seek for those things which alone will give peace and rest—the higher, holier joys of heaven. Christ, the Lord of life and glory, gave His life to redeem man from Satan’s power. Our Saviour is constantly at work, through influences seen and unseen, to attract the minds of men from the unsatisfying pleasures of this life to the priceless treasure which may be theirs in the immortal future. {4T 580.2}

Guds ånd giver stadig indtryk på menneskenes sind for at søge de ting som alene vil give fred og hvile, himmelens højere og helligere glæder. Kristus, livets og herlighedens herre, gav sit liv for at befri menneskenes fra Satans magt. Vor Frelser arbejder uafbrudt, synligt og usynligt, for at tiltrække menneskenes tanker fra dette livs uhellige fornøjelser, til den uvurderlige rigdom som kan blive deres i den udødelige fremtid.
