We need no fanciful teaching regarding the personality of God. What God desires us to know of Him is revealed in His word and His works. The beautiful things of nature reveal His character and His power as Creator. They are His gift to the race, to show His power, and to show that He is a God of love. But no one is authorized to say that God Himself in person is in flower or leaf or tree. These things are God’s handiwork, revealing His love for mankind. {LS 94.2}

Vi har ikke brug for en fantasifuld oplæring om Guds personlighed. Det som Gud ønsker at vi skal kende til ham, er åbenbaret i hans ord og hans gerninger. Naturens smukke ting åbenbarer Hans karakter og Hans kraft som Skaber. De er Hans gaver til slægten, der viser hans magt, og viser at Han er en kærlighedens Gud. Men ingen har ret til at sige at Gud Selv i person er i blomsterne, bladene eller træet. Disse ting er Guds håndværk, der åbenbarer hans kærlighed for menneskeslægten.
