In the face of persecution and death, the truth for that time was spread far and near. The word of God was carried to the people; all classes, high and low, rich and poor, learned and ignorant, studied it eagerly, and those who received the light became in their turn its messengers. In those days the truth was brought home to the people through the press. Luther’s pen was a power, and his writings, scattered broadcast, stirred the world. The same agencies are at our command, with facilities multiplied a hundredfold. Bibles, publications in many languages, setting forth the truth for this time, are at our hand and can be swiftly carried to all the world. We are to give the last warning of God to men, and what should be our earnestness in studying the Bible, and our zeal in spreading the light! {6T 403.2}

Vor holdning over for de civile myndigheder

Det er vor opgave at ophøje Guds lov og gøre den stor. Sandheden i Guds hellige ord skal åbenbares. Vi skal fremholde skriften som rettesnoren for vor vandel. I al beskedenhed, med en taktfuld ånd og i Guds kærlighed skal vi gøre det klart for menneskene, at Gud Herren har skabt himmelen og jorden og at den syvende dag er Herrens sabbat.
