The Lord Jesus came to our world full of mercy, life, and light, ready to save those who should come unto Him. But He can save no one against his will. God does not force the conscience; He does not torture the body that He may compel men to compliance with His law. All this work is after the order of Satan.... SPCCSR 6.1
The Lord has made it apparent that He proffers to the sinner the privilege of cooperating with God. He gives light, and furnishes evidence of the truth.—The Youth’s Instructor, August 17, 1893; reprinted in Sons and Daughters of God, 182. SPCCSR 6.2
