What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "The Family – God’s Masterpiece?"
Answer
The literal description of the family as “God’s masterpiece” is not found in the quotations provided. Ellen White does, however, express the related idea that God Himself established family relationships and that the family is meant to be a blessing to humanity. She holds that earthly families should reflect the heavenly family. This idea connects God’s purpose with a practical calling: Family life should be characterized by love, compassion, and care.
God Himself established the family
»God Himself established family relationships. His Word is the only safe guide in the upbringing of children.«
The family is intended to be a blessing
»The family tie is the closest, most tender and sacred of any on earth. It was designed to be a blessing to mankind. And it is a blessing wherever the marriage covenant is entered into intelligently, in the fear of God, and with due consideration for its responsibilities.«
A picture of the heavenly family
»The Lord desires the families of earth to be symbols of the family in heaven. And when earthly families are properly governed, the same sanctification of the Spirit will be brought into the church.«
Love and care in family life
»He looks with pleasure upon family relationships where sacred, unselfish love reigns. The family on earth should be a reflection of the family in heaven. A home made beautiful by love, sympathy, and tenderness is a place that angels love to visit and where God is glorified.«

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.
