Light Given in Love and Pity
Our gracious heavenly Father sees the deplorable condition of
men who, some knowingly but many ignorantly, are living in viola-
tion of the laws that He has established. And in love and pity to the
race He causes the light to shine upon health reform. He publishes
His law and the penalty that will follow the transgression of it, that
all may learn and be careful to live in harmony with natural law. He
proclaims His law so distinctly and makes it so prominent that it is
like a city set on a hill. All accountable beings can understand it
if they will. Idiots will not be responsible. To make plain natural
law and urge the obedience of it is the work that accompanies the
third angel’s message, to prepare a people for the coming of the
Lord.—
