Was schreibt Ellen White über...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Is it wrong to enjoy earthly life?"
Antwort
No—these passages do not say that enjoying earthly life is inherently wrong. They affirm that a person can find genuine joy, while warning against self-indulgent pleasure or letting worldly concerns and pleasures crowd out spiritual life. Earthly gifts, they add, should lead to gratitude rather than absorb our love and attention.
Joy Without Worldly Indulgence
»There will be no need of affecting cheerfulness or of your seeking for pleasure in the indulgence of pride and the frivolities of the world. You will have a serenity and happiness in rightdoing that you can never realize in a course of wrong.... He has, in His love, opened a fountain of pleasure and joy for the soul that trusts in Him.«
Earthly Gifts and Gratitude
»The rich gifts He has bestowed upon us were not intended to absorb our thoughts and love so much that we should have nothing to give to God; they are constantly to remind us of Him and to bind us in bonds of love and gratitude to our heavenly Benefactor.«
A Caution About the Pleasures of This Life
»Luke specifies the cares, riches, and pleasures of this life. These are what choke the word, the growing spiritual seed. The soul ceases to draw nourishment from Christ, and spirituality dies out of the heart.«

Warum ich EGW Vision gebaut habe
Hallo, ich bin Stephan Krol. Ich habe diese Ellen-White-Seite ins Leben gerufen, um Menschen einen einfachen und wirkungsvollen Zugang zu den Schriften von Ellen G. White und den adventistischen Pionieren zu ermoeglichen.
EGW Vision hilft dir dabei, Themen, Aussagen und Zitate schneller zu finden, auch dann, wenn viele Quellen in deiner Sprache noch nicht vollstaendig verfuegbar sind. Die Suche arbeitet semantisch, ordnet Inhalte thematisch ein und zeigt passende Treffer moeglichst direkt in deiner Sprache an.
Mein Wunsch ist, dass dieses Werkzeug dem persoenlichen Bibelstudium dient, das Vertrauen in die Originalquellen staerkt und mehr Menschen die Botschaft dieser Schriften klar, verstaendlich und mit Freude entdecken laesst.
