What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Is lack of faith in our new identity the cause of sin?"
Answer
The provided documents do not directly address whether lack of faith in our "new identity" is the cause of sin. However, they offer related insights: Quote 1 states that "the real cause of doubt and skepticism, in most cases, is the love of sin"—suggesting the opposite relationship, that sin causes doubt rather than doubt causing sin. Quote 2 affirms that "whatever is not of faith is sin," indicating a connection between faith and sin, but without specifically mentioning "new identity." The other quotes emphasize that unbelief separates from Christ and that faith brings strength to resist temptation, but they do not explicitly answer your specific question about new identity as the cause of sin.
The documents would need to explicitly connect the concept of "new identity in Christ" with the cause of sin to fully answer your question, which they do not do.
The Real Cause of Doubt
»Disguise it as they may, the real cause of doubt and skepticism, in most cases, is the love of sin. The teachings and restrictions of God's word are not welcome to the proud, sin-loving heart, and those who are unwilling to obey its requirements are ready to doubt its authority.«
Whatever Is Not of Faith Is Sin
»As God's word declares that without faith it is impossible to please Him, and whatever is not of faith is sin, it may not be inappropriate, at this time, to look a little into the nature of faith.«
Unbelief Separates from Christ
»In order to fight successfully the battle against sin, you must keep close to Jesus. Do not talk unbelief; you have no excuse for doing this. Christ has made a complete sacrifice for you, that you might stand before God complete in Him. God is not pleased with our lack of faith. Unbelief always separates the soul from Christ.«
Nothing Mars Peace Like Sinful Unbelief
»This, said the angel, "is because of falling under temptation. Nothing mars the peace of the soul like sinful unbelief.«

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.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
