Ellen White frequently emphasized that the Bible provides the only reliable account of creation. She taught that "in God's word alone we find an authentic account of creation" (
5T 25.2), making Scripture our essential guide for understanding the origins of our world. In her writings, Ellen White highlighted several key biblical passages about creation. She pointed to the power of God's creative word, noting that "in the creation, 'He spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.' He 'calleth those things which be not as though they were' (
Psalm 33:9;
Romans 4:17); for when He calls them, they are" (
Ed 254.1). This demonstrates the immediate, supernatural power of God's spoken word in bringing the world into existence. She also referenced
Psalm 90:2, which declares God's eternal nature: "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God" (
1SM 248.2).
Additionally, she drew attention to the testimony of creation itself, quoting
Psalm 19:1: "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth His handiwork" (
PP 117).
She further noted that "the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead" (
Romans 1:20, quoted in
PP 117). Ellen White was clear that we must depend on Scripture rather than human speculation for our understanding of origins. She warned that "the sophistry in regard to the world being created in an indefinite period of time is one of Satan's falsehoods" (
3MR 307.3), emphasizing that God speaks to humanity in language they can comprehendabout creation. She stressed that "we are dependent on the Bible for a knowledge of the early history of our world, of the creation of man, and of his fall" (
2MCP 742.2), warning that removing God's Word leaves us to fables and conjectures.The practical importance of studying these biblical accounts is profound. Ellen White taught that "the Bible is the most comprehensive and the most instructive history which men possess" (
5T 25.2), coming fresh from the fountain of eternal truth.Through studying creation in Scripture, we encounter themes that "cannot fail to soften, purify, and ennoble the heart, and, at the same time, to inspire the mind with new strength and vigor" (
5T 25.2). --- 💡 **You might also want to explore:**
