What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "You ask whether people who have fallen away from God still pray to Jesus for reconciliation, worry about what he thinks of them, grieve for their son, and hate themselves."
Answer
The provided documents do not directly answer the question of whether people who have “fallen away” from God should still pray to Jesus for reconciliation or hate themselves. However, they show that God strives for mercy and that genuine remorse and repentance are necessary to find reconciliation and salvation through Christ.
The quotations also address repentance before God, forgiveness through the blood of Christ, and comfort in grieving a loss.
Repentance and Reconciliation through Christ
»It is only through Christ that we can be brought into harmony with God and holiness; but how are we to come to Christ? Many ask the same question as the crowd on the Day of Pentecost, when they were convicted of their sin and cried out, “What shall we do?” The first word of Peter’s answer was, “Repent.” Repentance includes sorrow for sin and a turning away from it.«
The Need for Repentance and the Mercy of God
»Deep humiliation and repentance before God are accepted by God. The blood of Christ can atone for these sins. You have fallen, bitterly fallen. A guilty conscience plagues you. The matter rests with you. You want your own way, and you must rend your heart before God and surrender yourself to His mercy with a broken spirit, sinful and defiled. Your attempts to save yourself, if continued, will lead to your certain ruin.«
Comfort in Grief
»All the words of comfort that can be given to me will not mean much. The fire of the furnace is kindled until our dross is consumed and we come out of the furnace of suffering as gold. “The Lord gave, and the Lord took away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” The cloud of mercy hovers over you and will break over your head, even in the darkest hour. Mary, dear precious child, is at rest. She was the companion of your sorrows and disappointed hopes.«

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.
