Had God desired to be represented as dwelling personally in the things of nature,—in the flower, the tree, the spire of grass,—would not Christ have spoken of this to His disciples when He was on the earth? But never in the teaching of Christ is God thus spoken of. Christ and the apostles taught clearly the truth of the existence of a personal God. {8T 265.6}

Hvis Gud havde ønsket at blive fremstillet, som om han personligt boede i naturen, i blomsten, træet og det spirende græs, ville Kristus da ikke have omtalt dette for sine disciple, da han var her på jorden? Men Gud bliver aldrig omtalt på denne måde i den undervisning, Kristus gav. Kristus og apostlene fremholdt (266) tydeligt sandheden om en personlig Guds eksistens.
