What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Why were other things also cursed because of Adam’s sin?"
Answer
The earth and the rest of nature were cursed because of Adam’s sin so that they would make the consequences of rebellion against God visible and demonstrate the holiness of His law. The hardships and trials that came with the curse were also intended to educate fallen humanity and help people rise above the effects of sin.
Nature as a witness to the consequences of rebellion
»Under the curse of sin, all nature was to bear witness to humanity of the character and consequences of rebellion against God. […] Thus, in His great mercy, the Lord wanted to show people the holiness of His law and, through their own experience, help them recognize the danger of setting it aside, even in the slightest degree.«
Hardships and trials as education
»The thorn and the thistle—the difficulties and trials that make life one of toil and care—were intended for humanity’s good, as part of the education that was necessary in God’s plan to lift people out of the ruin and degradation brought about by sin.«

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.
