Ellen Gould White
What does Ellen White write about...
Ellen Gould White über: "Ellen White on Romans 8:3"
Answer
Ellen White explains that the fleshly heart cannot be subjected to God's law, which underscores the need for spiritual renewal. Through faith in Christ's merits we become partakers of the divine nature, bringing the heart into harmony with the law. This transformation leads the believer, like Christ, to find joy in doing God's will.
The Transformation of the Fleshly Heart
»Repentance toward God for our failure to keep His law is the first step in the Christian life, while faith in our Lord Jesus Christ claims the merits of His blood for the remission of past sins and makes us partakers of the divine nature. The fleshly heart, which “is not subject to God's law and cannot be,” is made spiritual and, together with Christ, declares: “I rejoice in doing Your will, O my God; yes, Your law is in my heart.”«
»God's claims are the same. The principles of His government are the same. For all proceed from Him, “in whom there is no change, nor a shadow of turning.”«
»A correct faith will manifest itself in godly works and bring the entire life into harmony with God's law. Faith and works must go hand in hand.«
- Fleshly Heart and Law

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
