God saw that a clearer revelation than nature was needed to portray both His personality and His character. He sent His Son into the world to reveal, so far as could be endured by human sight, the nature and the attributes of the invisible God. {8T 265.5}

Gud så, at det var nødvendigt med en åbenbaring, der var tydeligere end naturen, for at skildre såvel hans personlighed som hans karakter. Han sendte sin Søn til verden for at åbenbare den usynlige Guds natur og egenskaber indtil grænsen for, hvad menneskets syn kunne tåle.
