In Christ’s name our petitions ascend to the Father. He intercedes in our behalf, and the Father lays open all the treasures of His grace for our appropriation, for us to enjoy and impart to others. “Ask in My name,” Christ says. I do not say that I will pray the Father for you; for the Father Himself loveth you. Make use of My name. This will give your prayers efficiency, and the Father will give you the riches of His grace. Wherefore ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” {8T 178.1}

I Kristi navn stiger vore bønner op til Faderen. Han går i forbøn for vort bedste og faderen åbner alle sin nådes rigdomme som bevilges os, for at vi skal nyde dem og dele dem med andre. "Bed i mit navn," siger Kristus. "Jeg siger ikke at jeg vil bede faderen for jer; for faderen selv elsker dig. Gør brug af mit navn. Det vil give jeres bønner virkekraft og Faderen vil give jer sin nådes gaver. Bed derfor og I skal få, så jeres glæde skal være fuldkommen.”
