Biblical explanation
Paul writes: "Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Jesus also taught His disciples: "Men ought always to pray, and not to faint." Luke 18:1 Daniel had established times of prayer: "He kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed." Daniel 6:10 The biblical pattern therefore includes both regular intentional prayer and an ongoing attitude of dependence upon God.
Key takeaway
The great controversy reveals God's character as Christ ministers as our High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary. The dead await the resurrection, Christ's return will be visible and personal, and prophecy calls believers to faithful mission rather than date-setting or fear.
