What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Comfort and hope amid alcohol problems, fear of God's rejection, distress of conscience, and psychological strain; practical help and sobriety"
Answer
The quotations provided address alcohol abuse from an Adventist perspective and emphasize the need for sobriety and being clothed in Christ's riches. They warn of the serious consequences of alcohol consumption, particularly the loss of the soul and fear of God's judgment. At the same time, comfort and hope are offered through the call to repentance, sobriety, and the cleansing of hearts. The texts emphasize that true hope and divine acceptance are possible only through complete repentance and the cleansing of the soul.
Being Clothed in Christ's Riches and Sobriety
»My brother, your righteousness will not be sufficient. You must put on the robe of Christ's righteousness. You must be like Christ. Consider the severe test that Christ endured in the wilderness of temptation on the point of appetite. He was emaciated by that long abstinence on your account and on mine; He fought and conquered Satan, that He might give us vantage ground, bringing us divine strength to conquer appetite and every unholy passion.«
God's Judgment and Responsibility in the Liquor Trade
»In view of what God has done for the world in giving his beloved Son, and commissioning all the heavenly intelligences to minister to the human race, how does Heaven look upon the work of injustice and cruelty that has been perpetrated by man against his fellow-man in originating and preserving the liquor traffic? Do those who are acting a leading part in making men drunkards, realize that they will be held accountable for their deeds, and for not having the mind that was in Christ Jesus?«
The Consequences of Alcohol Abuse and the Need for Repentance
»The drunkard is a practical idolater; for whatever alienates the affections from the Creator, whatever weakens and deadens moral power, usurps his throne, and receives the homage that is due to Him alone.«
