To the same work He has called His people in this generation. To them He has revealed His will, and of them He requires obedience. In the last days of this earth’s history the voice that spoke from Sinai is still saying to men: “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.” Exodus 20:3. Man has set his will against the will of God, but he cannot silence this word of command. The human mind can never fully comprehend its obligation to the higher power, but it cannot evade the obligation. Profound theories and speculations may abound, men may try to set science in opposition to revelation, and thus do away with the law of God; but stronger and still stronger will the Holy Spirit bring before them the command: “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve.” Matthew 4:10. {6T 10.1}

Til den samme gerning har han kaldet sit folk i denne slægt. For dem har han åbenbaret sin vilje og af dem kræver han lydighed. Den røst, der talte fra Sinaj, siger endnu i disse sidste dage til menneskene: »Du må ikke have andre guder end mig!« 2.Mos. 20,3. Menneskene har sat deres veje op imod Guds vilje, men de kan ikke fjerne dette befalende ord. Det menneskelige sind kan aldrig fuldt ud fatte sin forpligtelse over for den højere magt, men det kan ikke unddrage sig forpligtelsen. Dybsindige teorier og spekulationer kan der være nok af og menneskene kan forsøge at stille videnskaben op imod åbenbaringen og derved gøre det af med Guds lov; men med stadig større styrke vil Helligånden foreholde dem befalingen: Du skal tilbede Herren din Gud og tjene ham alene.« Matt. 4,10.
