What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "What is the relationship between the 1888 Minneapolis General Conference and Selected Messages, Book 1, page 363?"
Answer
The 1888 Minneapolis General Conference served as the historical backdrop for the themes discussed in Selected Messages, Book 1. This specific section of the book, titled "Christ Our Righteousness," focuses on the essential elements of salvation by faith in Christ alone, which were brought into sharp focus during the 1888 meetings. Ellen White’s writings in this volume emphasize that the message of justification by faith was a vital truth that had been largely lost sight of and needed to be prominently restored to the church.
Focus on Salvation by Faith at the Minneapolis Conference
»The Bible studies and discussions at the 1888 Minneapolis General Conference brought into focus the elements of salvation by faith in Christ alone, which was a truth that had been largely lost sight of by many, both ministers and laity. Selected Messages, book 1, in its 51-page section on “Christ Our Righteousness,” sets forth this emphasis in the setting of Minneapolis. How Ellen White rejoiced as the great basic truth of justification by faith was brought prominently to the front at this conference, and as she entered with others into carrying the blessed message to the churches!«
Defining Christ Our Righteousness
»The message of Righteousness by Faith came clearly and fully into the open at the General Conference held at Minneapolis, Minn., in November, 1888. It was made the one great subject of study in the devotional part of the Conference. ... The message was not received alike by all who attended the Conference; in fact, there was serious difference of opinion concerning it among the leaders.«
Confirmation of the Message's Source
»It became necessary for positive assurance to be given that the message of Righteousness and Justification by Faith that came at that time was by the direct leading of God, because of the confusion that had resulted by the opposition raised against it. The statements which follow should remove all question of doubt regarding the source of the message set forth at the Minneapolis Conference.«
