All who love God will show that they bear His sign by keeping His commandments. They are the restorers of paths to dwell in. The Lord says: “If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on My holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, ... then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth.” Verses 13, 14. Thus genuine medical missionary work is bound up inseparably with the keeping of God’s commandments, of which the Sabbath is especially mentioned, since it is the great memorial of God’s creative work. Its observance is bound up with the work of restoring the moral image of God in man. This is the ministry which God’s people are to carry forward at this time. This ministry, rightly performed, will bring rich blessings to the church. {6T 265.2}

Alle, som elsker Gud, vil vise, at de bærer hans tegn, ved at holde hans befalinger. De er genskabere af farbare veje. Herren siger: »Varer du din fod på sabbatten, så du ej driver handel på min helligdag, kalder du sabbatten en fryd, (266) ..... da skal du frydes over Herren; jeg lader dig færdes over landets høje.« Es. 58,12-14. Således er sandt sundhedsmissionsarbejde uadskilleligt knyttet til overholdelsen af Guds befalinger, hvoraf sabbatten specielt omtales, fordi den er det særskilte minde om Guds skabermagt. Dens helligholdelse hører sammen med den gerning at genoprette Guds moralske billede i mennesket. Dette er den tjeneste, Guds folk skal udrette i denne tid. Udført på den rette måde vil denne tjeneste bringe menigheden rige velsignelser.
