What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Where does Ellen G. White write about God's love, especially about God's character, His love revealed in Christ, and His love for sinners?"
Answer
Ellen G. White describes God's love extensively in books such as Steps to Christ, The Acts of the Apostles, as well as in various magazine articles. She emphasizes that God's true character—a perfect unity of mercy, justice, and grace—is revealed on the cross at Golgotha. This incomprehensible love is especially directed toward lost sinners, for whom God gave His Son to redeem them and make them His children again.
God's Character in the Light of the Cross and His Love for a Lost World
»The more we study the divine character in the light of the cross, the more we see mercy, tenderness, and forgiveness merged with fairness and justice, and the clearer we recognize countless evidence of a love that is infinite, and a delicate compassion that surpasses the yearning affection of a mother for her wayward child. ... Through faith in Christ's atoning sacrifice, the sons of Adam can become the sons of God. ... Such love is without parallel. Children of the heavenly King! Precious promise! A topic for deepest contemplation! The incomparable love of God for a world that did not love Him!«
The Revelation of God's Justice and Grace toward Sinners
»When we study the divine character in the light of the cross, we see mercy, tenderness, and forgiveness united with fairness and justice. We see, amid the throne, One who bears the wounds of suffering on His hands, feet, and side, endured to reconcile humanity with God. ... The cloud of retribution, which threatened only misery and despair, reveals in the light reflected from the cross the handwriting of God: Live, sinner, live! You penitent, believing souls, live! I have paid a ransom. In contemplating Christ we linger on the shore of a love that is immeasurable.«
The Infinite Sacrifice as the Perfect Expression of the Father's Love
»No one except the Son of God could accomplish our salvation; for only He, who was at the Father's breast, could proclaim Him. Only He, who knew the height and depth of God's love, could reveal it. Nothing less than the infinite sacrifice that Christ made for fallen humanity could express the Father's love for the lost people. “God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son.” He gave Him not only to live among people, to bear their sins and die as their sacrifice. He gave Him to the fallen race.«
Christ's Incomprehensible Love Softens the Sinner's Heart
»Christ must be revealed to the sinner as the Savior who dies for the sins of the world; and when we behold the Lamb of God on the cross at Golgotha, the mystery of redemption begins to unfold to our mind, and God's goodness leads us to repentance. By dying for sinners, Christ revealed a love that is incomprehensible; and when the sinner looks upon this love, it softens the heart, impresses the mind, and awakens remorse in the soul.«
God's Compassion and Love for People in a State of Sin
»God has declared His love; Jesus Christ is the expression of that love. “In this the love of God toward us is manifested, that God sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is the love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son for reconciliation for our sins.” Oh what love, what infinite love! “When we were still sinners,” the Father pitied and loved us.«
God's Character of Holiness, Goodness, and Love in His Son
»In place of the sinner, the spotless Son of God stepped and received the punishment, and the sinner goes free as long as he accepts and holds onto Christ as his personal Savior. Though guilty, he is regarded as innocent. Christ fulfilled every demand of righteousness. God's character as a God of holiness, a God of goodness, mercy, and love alike was revealed in His Son. On Christ's cross God gave the world a powerful pledge of His righteousness and love.«
