What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Summarize Chapter 28 from The Great Controversy, "Facing Life's Record," as a concise 30-minute sermon, with Bible verses as evidence for each statement."
Answer
Based on the provided quotes from Ellen Gould White's work "The Great Controversy," Chapter 28, "Facing Life's Record," can be framed as a sermon on the heavenly sanctuary, the investigative judgment, and the end times. Quotes 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, and 10 are directly relevant for this purpose, while the other quotes originate from different works and do not fully meet the specific requirements of this question. The following sermon emphasizes the necessity of preparing for the judgment, as the works of every person are recorded in the heavenly books.
The Unveiling of the Sanctuary and the Judgment: Preparation for Christ's Return
»The book of life contains the names of all who have ever entered into the service of God. Jesus spoke to His disciples: "Rejoice, because your names are written in heaven." Paul speaks of his faithful fellow workers: "whose names are in the book of life.«
»The cleansing of the sanctuary involves a work of investigation—a work of judgment. This work must be completed before Christ comes to redeem His people; for when He comes, His reward is with Him, to give to every man according to his works.«
»And I saw a great white throne, and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.«
»Judgment must begin at the house of God; and if it first begins with us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel?«
»On the morning of October 23, 1879, about two o'clock, the Spirit of the Lord rested upon me, and I saw scenes in the coming judgment. Language fails me to describe adequately the things which passed before me and the effect they had upon me. The great day of the execution of God's judgment seemed to have come. Ten thousand times ten thousand were gathered before a great throne, upon which sat a majestic being. Several books lay before Him, and on the cover of each book, in golden letters resembling a burning flame, were the words: "Ledger of Heaven.«
»One of these volumes, containing the names of those who professed to believe the truth, was then opened. Immediately I lost sight of the countless millions around the throne, and only those who professed to be children of the light and of the truth claimed my attention. As these persons were named one by one, and their good deeds were mentioned, their faces lighted up with a holy joy that radiated in every direction.«
»For six thousand years the great controversy has been in progress; the Son of God and His heavenly angels have been engaged in a conflict with the power of evil to warn, enlighten, and save men. Now all have made their decision; the wicked have fully united with Satan in his warfare against God. The time has come for the vindication of the authority of His downtrodden law.«
