The coming of Christ is near and hasteth greatly. The time in which to labor is short, and men and women are perishing. Said the angel: “Should not the men who have had great light co-operate with Him who sent His Son to the world to give light and salvation to men?” Shall men who have received the knowledge of the truth line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little, show but little appreciation of Him who came to the earth that His divine power might be the heritage of every believing soul? It was thus that the divinity of Christ was to become effectual in the salvation of the race, and the intercession of our great High Priest avail before the throne of God. The plan was devised in heaven. Shall those who have been bought with such a price fail of appreciating the great salvation? {9T 105.1}

Kristi genkomst er nær og kommer hastigt. Tiden til at arbejde er kort og mænd og kvinder går til grunde. Englen sagde: Bør de mennesker, der har fået et stort lys, ikke samarbejde med ham, som sendte sin Søn til verden for at bringe dem lys og frelse?" Skal de, der har taget imod kundskab om sandheden linje på linje, bud på bud, lidt her, lidt der kun vise ringe påskønnelse for ham, der kom til jorden, for at hans guddommelige kraft kunne blive enhver troende sjæls arv? Det var på denne måde Kristi guddom skulle blive virkningsfuld til menneskeslægtens frelse og vor store Ypperstepræsts forbøn til gavn ved Guds trone. Planen blev lagt i himmelen. Skal de, der er blevet købt til den pris, ikke værdsætte denne store frelse?
