Ellen Gould White über: "What does Ellen G White say about God's promises and about which she writes"
Answer
Ellen G. White emphasizes in her writings the central importance of God's promises for faith and the lives of believers. She describes the promises as "exceedingly great and precious" and advises against seeking assurance through feelings in the heart, instead urging believers to claim the promises as their own and recognize themselves as their possessors. Many of these promises, such as participation in the divine nature, the resurrection, and eternal life, are closely linked to obedience to God's commandments and the restoration of the true Sabbath.
God's promises as the foundation of faith and means to overcome temptation
»We must learn our Bibles better. ... The precious Bible is God's garden, and His promises are the lilies, roses, and carnations. ... We are not to look into our hearts to find a joyful emotion as proof of our acceptance by heaven, but we must take God's promises and say: "They are mine. The Holy Spirit rests upon me. I receive the light; for the promise is: believe that you will receive what you ask for, and you will receive it." Through faith we reach within the veil and grasp Christians, my strength. I thank God that I have a Redeemer.«
The "exceedingly great and precious" promises and participation in the divine nature
»Through these exceedingly great and precious promises are given to us, that we might become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. ... A healthy Christ is one who has Christ within, the hope of glory. He loves truth, purity, and holiness and will show spiritual vitality by having a love for the Word of God and seeking fellowship with those familiar with the Word, to receive every ray of light God has given, which Christ reveals and makes precious for the soul.«
Promises of resurrection, eternal life, and the restoration of the Sabbath
»How precious it is for those who lose their loved ones in this world to have their faith and hope in God's promises, which open before them the future immortal life! ... A rich promise is given us: "Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter in through the gates into the city." ... The precious promises [of Scripture] apply to those who work for the restoration of the true Sabbath. ... If we live according to His word, every precious promise He has given us will be fulfilled for us.«
