What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "The context, background, purpose, and goal of Romans 8:35 and the surrounding verses from an Adventist perspective."
Answer
From an Adventist perspective, Romans 8:35 and the surrounding verses serve to give believers and proclaimers, amid suffering, persecution, and discouragement, unwavering assurance and comfort. The purpose and goal of this passage is to demonstrate that Christ's love is unchanging and that, through His power at work in the heart, no earthly or spiritual power can separate His people from God's love. In all trials and temptations, the followers of Christ are called to emerge as overcomers through Him.
Unchanging Love and Comfort in Every Trial
»Through trials the Lord tests the strength of His children. [...] Christ's love for His children is both strong and tender. It is a love that is stronger than death, for He died for us. [...] A mother's love may change, but Christ's love is unchanging. “For I am certain,” says Paul, “that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities nor powers, neither the present nor the future, neither high nor low, nor any other creature can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” In every trial we have strong comfort.«
More Than Overcomers Through Christ's Power
»Since all power in heaven and on earth is in Christ's hands and this power is available to us—by Christ Himself dwelling in the heart through faith—there is no room to blame God for demanding the impossible from us; for “what is impossible for humans is possible for God.” [...] Therefore we can boldly say: “The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what a person may do to me.” Who then will separate us from Christ's love? Tribulation, fear, persecution, hunger, nakedness, danger, or sword? “No, in all these things we are more than overcomers through the One who loved us.” “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor the present, nor the future, nor high, nor low, nor any other creature can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”«
Steadfastness in Adverse Circumstances and Commitment to the Work
»Can we not stand firm in God, no matter how unpleasant and discouraging our surroundings may be? “What shall we say about this? Is God for us, who can be against us? He, who did not spare His own Son but gave Him for all of us, how then should He not give us everything with Him? Who would sue God’s elect? God is the one who justifies. Who would condemn? Christ is the one who died, and even more, who was raised, who is at the right hand of God and intercedes for us. Who will separate us from Christ's love? Tribulation, fear, persecution, hunger, nakedness, danger, or sword? [...] No, in all these things we are more than overcomers through the One who loved us.”«
Complete Dedication in the Service of Christ Regardless of Persecutions
»If preachers are so interested in the work that they love it as a part of their existence, then they can say: “Who will separate us from Christ's love? Tribulation, fear, persecution, hunger, nakedness, danger, or sword? As it is written: ‘For your sake we shall be killed all day; we are regarded as battle sheep.’ No, in all these things we are more than overcomers through the One who loved us. For I am certain that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor powers, nor authorities, nor the present, nor the future, nor high, nor low, nor any other creature can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”«
