Passing down through the centuries, we find that there came a time when God’s law must once more be unmistakably revealed as the standard of obedience. Christ came to vindicate the sacred claims of the law. He came to live a life of obedience to its requirements and thus prove the falsity of the charge made by Satan that it is impossible for man to keep the law of God. As a man He met temptation and overcame in the strength given Him from God. As He went about doing good, healing all who were afflicted by Satan, He made plain to men the character of God’s law and the nature of His service. His life testifies that it is possible for us also to obey the law of God. {8T 207.3}

Ned igennem århundrederne finder vi at der kom et tidspunkt hvor Guds lov endnu engang måtte åbenbares umiskendeligt som lydighedens norm. Kristus kom for at hævde lovens hellige påbud. Han kom for at leve et lydigt liv mod dens krav og derved bevise den falske (208) anklage Satan kom med, at det er umuligt for mennesker at holde Guds lov. Som menneske mødte han fristelser og overvandt ved den styrke han fik fra Gud. Idet han gik omkring og gjorde godt, helbredte alle som var plaget af Satan, gjorde han Guds lovs karakter og sin tjenestes art tydelig for mennesker. Hans liv bekræfter at det også er muligt for os at adlyde Guds lov.
