Ellen G. White’s writings strongly affirm the divinity of Christ. She describes Christ as the full embodiment of God, the perfect revelation of God to humanity, and the one in whom divinity and humanity were united for the purpose of salvation. Here are some key statements from her works:
1. "In Christ was the embodiment of God himself. The plan and execution of man's salvation is a demonstration of divine wisdom and power mysterious to finite minds. The unfathomable love of God for the human race, in giving his Son to die for them, was made manifest." (
3SP 186.1)
2. "Divinity from within flashes through humanity, and meets the glory coming from above. Arising from His prostrate position, Christ stands in godlike majesty. The soul agony is gone. His countenance now shines 'as the sun,' and His garments are 'white as the light.'" (
DA 421.1)
3. "Christ, the Light of the world, veiled the dazzling splendor of His divinity and came to live as a man among men, that they might, without being consumed, become acquainted with their Creator. No man has seen God at any time except as He is revealed through Christ." (
8T 265.2;
MH 419.1)
4. "Jesus Christ is revealed as the Fullness of the Godhead, the infinitely merciful Saviour of sinners, the Sun of Righteousness, the merciful High Priest, the Healer of all human maladies and diseases, the tender, compassionate Friend, the constant, ever-present and helpful Companion, the Prince of the House of David, the Shield of His people, the Prince of Peace, the Coming King, the Everlasting Father, the culmination and fruition of the desires and hopes of all the ages." (
DA 17.7)
5. "Christ clothed His divinity with humanity and lived a life of prayer and self-denial, and of daily battle with temptation, that He might help those who today are assailed by temptation. He is our efficiency and power." (
9T 279.1)
6. "Oh, wondrous love of Christ, stooping to heal the guilty and the afflicted! Divinity sorrowing over and soothing the ills of suffering humanity! Oh, marvelous power thus displayed to the children of men!" (
DA 269.4;
2SP 298.2)
7. "Look, O look to Jesus and live! You cannot but be charmed with the matchless attractions of the Son of God. Christ was God manifest in the flesh, the mystery hidden for ages, and in our acceptance or rejection of the Saviour of the world are involved eternal interests." (
CE 76.1)
8. "Christ is the perfect revelation of God. Let those who desire to know God, study the work and teaching of Christ. To those who receive Him and believe on Him, He gives power to become the sons of God." (
LS 94.3)
9. "Christ revealed all of God that sinful human beings could bear without being destroyed. He is the divine Teacher, the Enlightener." (
8T 266.1)
These statements emphasize that Christ was fully divine, the embodiment of God, and the perfect revelation of God to humanity. He veiled His divinity with humanity so that He could dwell among men and accomplish the work of salvation. If you need more specific aspects or further explanation, please let me know!
