Ul. 4:13 Dan Ia memberitahukan kepadamu perjanjian, yang diperintahkan-Nya kepadamu untuk dilakukan, yakni Kesepuluh Firman dan Ia menuliskannya pada dua loh batu.
Kita tidak dapat membiarkan semangat komersialisme menguasai kita sedemikian rupa sehingga kita akan mengabaikan studi tentang persyaratan Firman Tuhan.
O, jika kita sebagai umat mau mempelajari Kitab Suci sebagaimana mestinya, akan terlihat di antara kita reformasi yang belum pernah kita lihat!
Anak-anak kita akan diajari cara-cara Tuhan, dan musuh jiwa tidak akan dapat mengendalikannya. Dan kita harus dipenuhi dengan energi dan semangat untuk memberi tahu orang lain kebenaran agung yang telah Tuhan ungkapkan kepada kita. {RH 5 September 1907, par. 14}
Ketaatan pada hukum Tuhan adalah syarat keselamatan.
Banyak yang menyatakan bahwa dalam memberikan hidupnya untuk menebus ras, Kristus menghapus hukum Allah. Karena hukum Tuhan tidak dapat dihapuskan, Kristus mati sebagai korban pelanggaran dunia.
“Tuhan begitu mengasihi dunia, sehingga Dia memberikan Anak-Nya yang tunggal, sehingga barangsiapa yang percaya kepadanya tidak binasa, tetapi memiliki hidup yang kekal.”
Kematian Kristus di kayu salib Kalvari adalah bukti terkuat yang dapat diberikan kepada dunia bahwa hukum Allah adalah hukum yang tidak dapat diubah. {RH 5 September 1907, par. 15}
Then follows the solemn warning: “Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons’ sons; specially the day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God in Horeb, ... and he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.” {RH September 5, 1907, par. 13}
We can not afford to allow the spirit of commercialism to take such possession of us that we shall neglect the study of the requirements of God’s Word. O, if we as a people would study the Scriptures as we should, there would be seen among us such a reformation as we have never yet seen! Our children would be taught the ways of the Lord, and the enemy of souls would be unable to gain control of them. And we should be filled with energy and zeal to make known to others the great truths that God has revealed to us. {RH September 5, 1907, par. 14}
Obedience to God’s law is the condition of salvation. Many declare that in giving his life to redeem the race, Christ abolished the law of God. It was because the law of God could not be abolished, that Christ died as the victim of the world’s transgressions. “God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” The death of Christ on the cross of Calvary is the strongest evidence that could be given to the world that the law of God is an immutable law. {RH September 5, 1907, par. 15}
