“It would be far more consistent for nations to abolish their statutes, and permit the people to do as they please, than for the Ruler of the universe to annul his law, and leave the world without a standard to condemn the guilty or justify the obedient. Would we know the result of making void the law of God? … The civilized world would become a horde of robbers and assassins; and peace, rest, and happiness would be banished from the earth.” (Great Controversy, pp. 584, 585).
