Ellen White teaches that justification by faith is a foundational Christian doctrine. She emphasizes that salvation is not earned by works, but is received through faith in Christ. Here are the key points from her writings: 1. Justification by faith is a central gospel truth that has guided countless people to forgiveness and peace with God. It was the light that transformed Martin Luther and has helped many find the true source of pardon (AA 373.3). 2. Salvation is not achieved by our own good works. Ellen White warns against the idea of trusting in works for salvation, highlighting that it is only through God's mercy and not our merit that we are saved (GC 253.2; COL 397.2). 3. While faith is essential, genuine faith will naturally produce good works. Faith and works are connected—works are the fruit of true faith, not the means of earning salvation (GC 472.1). 4. True faith is not just a claim to God's favor without meeting the conditions He has set. Genuine faith is rooted in the promises and requirements of Scripture (GC 472.2). 5. When a person is justified by faith, they experience peace with God, knowing their sins are forgiven and their hearts are changed (AA 476.2). In summary, Ellen White teaches that we are justified by faith in Christ alone, but that real faith will always be accompanied by a transformed life and good works—not as a way to earn salvation, but as its natural result.
