What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Connection between the heavenly sanctuary and the sanctification of the believer"
Answer
The service of Christ in the heavenly sanctuary is directly connected to the sanctification of believers, because it is the only way through which true perfection can be attained. The high priestly service of Jesus truly removes sins and makes those \"who are sanctified\" perfect – in contrast to the earthly service, which could not do this. Moreover, the purification of each individual believer in personal heart experience must precede the purification of the heavenly sanctuary.
The believers are the gracious objects of his priestly service and are to partake in the fullness of his grace through their connection with the heavenly sanctuary.
The service in the sanctuary makes the sanctified perfect
»And that is precisely the purpose of the true priesthood in the true sanctuary. [...] The sacrifice, the priesthood, and the service of Christ in the true sanctuary permanently removes sins, makes those who come to him perfect, and forever completes \"those who are sanctified.\«
The purification of the believer precedes the purification of the sanctuary
»It is evident that transgression must be ended, a cessation of sin made, and reconciliation for all injustice accomplished in the heart experience of each believer in Jesus before the purification of the true sanctuary can be carried out.«
The only way to perfection
»Perfection is the goal of the Christian, and the high priesthood and the service of Christ in the true sanctuary is the only way by which a soul can achieve this true goal in this world.«
Participation in heavenly grace through the priestly service
»Now is the time for believers in Jesus – the blessed objects of his glorious priesthood and wonderful intercession in the true sanctuary – to become participants in the fullness of his heavenly grace and to have in their lives permanently ended transgression, a cessation of sin, and reconciliation for injustice.«
