Section 5—The Essential Knowledge“The light of the knowledgeof the glory of God in theface of Jesus Christ.”2 Corinthians 4:6.God In NatureBefore the entrance of sin not a cloud rested upon the minds of our first parents to obscure their perception of the character of God. They were perfectly conformed to the will of God. For a covering a beautiful light, the light of God, surrounded them. This clear and perfect light illuminated everything which they approached. {8T 255.1}

(255) Før synden kom ind hvilede der ikke en sky over vore første forældre og kunne ikke formørke deres opfattelse af Guds karakter. De var fuldstændig tilpasset til Guds vilje. Til tildækkelse af dem, omgav et skønt lys, Guds lys dem. Dette klare og fuldkomne lys oplyste alt som de kom hen til.
