The requirements of God may not always be appreciated by his people, and many are unable to understand the dealings of God with them; yet it is not their part to question the purposes of God, but to yield submissive obedience; for God has a purpose in all his requirements, which we may not fully see here, but shall see hereafter. {1SP 317.1}

Guds krav bliver ikke altid påskønnet af hans folk, og mange kan ikke forstå Guds handlemåde med dem; alligevel skal de ikke fra deres side betvivle Guds hensigter, men yde underdanig lydighed; for Gud har en hensigt med alle sine krav, som vi (318) ikke til fulde ser her, men skal kunne se senere.
