The divine mind and hand have preserved through the ages the record of creation in its purity. It is the word of God alone that gives to us an authentic account of the creation of our world. This word is to be the chief study in our schools. In it we may learn what our redemption has cost Him who from the beginning was equal with the Father, and who sacrificed His life that a people might stand before Him redeemed from everything earthly, renewed in the image of God. {CT 13.2}

Det guddommelige sind og den guddommelige hånd har gennem tidsaldrene bevaret skabelsesberetningen i sin renhed. Det er Guds ord alene der giver os en autentisk beregning om vor verdens skabelse. Dette ord skal være hovedstudiet på vore skoler. I dette kan vi lære hvad vor genløsning har kostet for Ham som fra begyndelsen af var lige med Faderen, og som ofrede Sit liv så (14) et folk kan stå for Ham, genløst fra alt jordisk, fornyet i Guds billede.
