Here are key points from Ellen G. White's writings on "santidad" (holiness):
- True sanctification is complete conformity to God's will. It overcomes rebellious thoughts and feelings, and brings a new life that pervades the whole being. Those truly sanctified do not set up their own opinions as the standard of right and wrong, but are humble and careful to comply with God's conditions (
SL 9.1).
- Holiness is not just the absence of unconfessed sin; it is a principle of life that transforms character and controls conduct. Holiness means wholeness for God—total surrender of heart and life to the principles of heaven (
DA 555.6).
- God commands, “Be ye holy; for I am holy,” and without holiness “no man shall see the Lord.” Holiness is agreement with God. The gospel's work is to restore the marred image of God in humanity, and we must cooperate with God in this work (
5T 743.1).
- Sanctification is a daily work. God will not pardon or bless those who knowingly trample on His requirements. Willful sin silences the Spirit and separates the soul from God (SL 92).
- Communion with God, love for Him, and the practice of holiness are pleasant and uplifting. Prayer and Bible study bring the soul into sacred nearness with God, renewing knowledge and true holiness (
ApM 24.1).
- The beauty of holiness should fill the hearts of God's children, and we should seek deeper understanding of heavenly things (
SC 99.3).
- God requires personal surrender and conformity to His image. Only those controlled by His Spirit can truly honor Him (
AA 559.3).
- Holiness of character, like Enoch's, is required for those who will be redeemed at Christ's second coming (
8T 331.3).
