What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Responsibility Quote"
Answer
### Responsibility for Health and Body»Everyone has a personal work, an individual responsibility, and a personal accountability to render. It is our own salvation that we must secure, for this is a matter of the individual. The piety and obedience of others will not save us or do the work for us. God has left each of us his work—not the temporal task of planting and harvesting, but the building of His kingdom and the leading of souls to the knowledge of truth as our highest duty.«
### Individual Responsibility in Service to the Neighbor»Obedience to the laws of life must become a personal duty. We must give God an account for our habits and practices. The question we must answer is not, “What will the world say?” but, “How will I treat the dwelling that God has given me?” Whoever subjugates his body and brings all desires under the control of an enlightened conscience fulfills a duty to God and his neighbor.«
### Sharing Responsibility in Leadership»Christ transfers to His followers an individual work—a work that cannot be done through representatives. Service to the sick and poor, as well as proclaiming the gospel to the lost, must not be left to committees or organized charitable agencies. Individual responsibility, individual effort, and personal sacrifice are the requirements of the gospel.«
### Parental Responsibility in Raising Children»Leading men should delegate responsibility to others and allow them to plan and execute so they can gain experience. Give them counsel when needed, but do not take the work away from them because you think they might make mistakes. All our staff must have space to exercise their own judgment and discretion. God has given people talents that they are to use.«
### Responsibility Through Influence»Many parents leave it to the Sabbath school to impart the knowledge they themselves should be passing on regarding responsibility to God. God wants parents to raise and discipline their children, as they shape characters for the present and future life. Sabbath school is a blessing, but it can never take the place of parents.«
»Each soul is surrounded by its own atmosphere—a atmosphere of faith and courage or of dissatisfaction and selfishness. Through this atmosphere, every person we come into contact with is influenced, consciously or unconsciously. This is a responsibility from which we cannot free ourselves. Our words, actions, and even our facial expressions have an impact whose consequences for good or evil no one can measure.«

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.
