Ellen White spoke strongly against jealousy and envy, describing them as destructive traits with serious spiritual consequences. Here are some key points from her writings: 1. Jealousy and envy are linked to a desire for supremacy and a spirit of discontent. She warns that "many love to be flattered and are jealously watching for slights or neglect," which leads to "envy, strife, emulation." She cites the biblical example of Miriam's envy, stating, "Envy is one of the most satanic traits that can exist in the human heart, and it is one of the most baleful in its effects." (PP 384.3, annotation_text) 2. Ellen White also addresses how jealousy and envy can lead to suspicion and evil surmising, especially among those in positions of responsibility. She notes, "Before your fanatical course you were jealous of those at Battle Creek... Envy and suspicion have been united... Had you esteemed yourself less, you would have had less jealousy and suspicion." (1T 311.2, annotation_text) 3. She observes that jealousy can become more pronounced with age, leading to distrust even of close friends and relatives, and sometimes resulting in tragic outcomes: "Their unrestrained jealousy sometimes burned into a flame because all did not agree with their failing judgment... And some were so controlled by their jealous, covetous feelings as to destroy their own children." (1T 422.2, annotation_text) 4. Ellen White warns that "envy, evil surmisings, jealousies have been working like leaven until the whole lump seemed to be leavened." She urges believers not to let "the enemy sow the seeds of envy, of fretting, of complaining, or of thinking evil one of another," and emphasizes that "a seed of jealousy is ready to spring into life at any moment, and will endeavor to gain the mastery." (12MR 184.2, annotation_text) 5. She counsels to "war against these unenviable traits of character, and not against one another," and to let "the love of Jesus pervade your hearts. Jealousy is all ready to spring into existence at the least provocation. Envy and evil surmising are ready to flourish, ready to grow by being cultivated." (11MR 263.1, annotation_text) In summary, Ellen White consistently taught that jealousy and envy are dangerous, satanic traits that cause division, suspicion, and spiritual harm, and she urged believers to root them out through prayer, humility, and the love of Christ.

Yes, Ellen White indicates that the sin of jealousy can be difficult to confess, especially when it has become a long-standing habit or is accompanied by pride and stubbornness. She writes: - "It will require effort, perseverance, and earnestness to obtain the victory over long-established habits which have become as second nature." (2T 79.2, annotation_text) - "When strong-minded men once set their will against God's will, it is not easy for them to admit that they have erred in judgment. It is very difficult for such men to come fully into the light by honestly confessing their sins; for Satan has great power over the minds of many... Many will not be convinced, because they are not inclined to confess. To resist and reject even one ray of light from Heaven because of pride and stubbornness of heart, makes it easier to refuse light the second time." (7MR 261.3, annotation_text) In summary, jealousy is often hard to confess because it becomes ingrained and is frequently tied to pride, making honest confession and repentance a challenge. However, Ellen White encourages perseverance and earnestness in seeking victory over such sins. Confidence score: 60% References: - White, E. G. (1870).

Ellen White draws a clear relationship between jealousy and pride, often describing them as interconnected traits that lead to spiritual harm. Here are key points from her writings: - She states, "Pride, self-love, selfishness, hatred, envy, and jealousy have beclouded the perceptive powers, and the truth," showing that pride and jealousy are part of a cluster of negative traits that cloud judgment and spiritual perception (2T 605.2, annotation_text). - She explains that "Pride of heart, if cherished, creates envy, evil surmising, and even revenge. There is danger, then, that words or actions may be exaggerated into grievous, intentional offenses," indicating that pride can give rise to jealousy and related feelings (15MR 188.2, annotation_text). - Ellen White also notes that pride leads to self-exaltation and the denouncing of others, which in turn fosters "envy, jealousy, evilspeaking, evil surmising, judging one another," and a spirit of Phariseeism (12MR 17.2, annotation_text). In summary, Ellen White teaches that pride is a root cause that often leads to jealousy. When pride is cherished, it creates an environment where jealousy, envy, and other negative attitudes can flourish, resulting in division, suspicion, and spiritual blindness.

Ellen White teaches that sins emerging from jealousy, especially when fueled by pride, are extremely difficult to confess and repent of—though not strictly "impossible." Here are her key points: - She states that "Pride, self-love, selfishness, hatred, envy, and jealousy have beclouded the perceptive powers, and the truth" (2T 605.2, annotation_text). These traits together cloud spiritual judgment and make repentance difficult. - She warns, "There is nothing so offensive to God or so dangerous to the human soul as pride and self-sufficiency. Of all sins it is the most hopeless, the most incurable" (COL 154.3, annotation_text). Pride, which feeds jealousy, is described as the most hopeless and incurable of sins. - Regarding envy (closely related to jealousy), she writes, "Men often confess and forsake other faults, but there is little to be hoped for from the envious man. Since to envy a person is to admit that he is a superior, pride will not permit any concession. If an attempt be made to convince the envious person of his sin, he becomes even more bitter... and too often he remains incurable" (5T 56.1, annotation_text). - She also notes, "The jealousy revealed by some who claim to be in the truth, plainly reveals that unless their hearts are changed, they will never be overcomers. Unless they respond to the subduing, sanctifying influences of the grace of God, they will never wear the crown of life" (20MR 102.1, annotation_text). - However, she encourages repentance: "May the Lord help you all to repent and confess, and let the love of Jesus pervade your hearts. Jealousy is all ready to spring into existence at the least provocation... War against these unenviable traits of character, and not against one another" (11MR 263.1, annotation_text). In summary, Ellen White teaches that sins emerging from jealousy, especially when fueled by pride, are among the hardest to confess and repent of. Pride makes it nearly impossible for a person to admit jealousy or envy, often rendering the sin "incurable." Yet, she still calls for repentance and the subduing influence of God's grace.

Ellen White makes a clear distinction between the joyful, reverent dancing described in the Bible (such as when the ark was brought to Jerusalem) and "modern dancing" as practiced in her time. She states: - "The music and dancing in joyful praise to God at the removal of the ark had not the faintest resemblance to the dissipation of modern dancing. The one tended to the remembrance of God and exalted His holy name. The other is a device of Satan to cause men to forget God and to dishonor Him." (Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 707.2) She further explains that modern dancing is associated with "folly and midnight reveling," and that "by the frequenters of the ballroom God is not an object of thought and reverence; prayer or the song of praise would be felt to be out of place in their assemblies." (PP 707.2) In summary, Ellen White does not recognize "reverent modern dancing" as a legitimate or acceptable form of worship or Christian expression. She views modern dancing as incompatible with reverence for God and as something that leads people away from sacred things. Reference: - White, E. G. (1890). Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 707.2.

Ellen White did not support women wearing pants in a way that would make their appearance closely resemble men’s, as she believed this blurred the distinction between the sexes. She encouraged modest, healthful, and practical dress, but maintained that women’s clothing should be distinct from men’s.

Here is more detail on the events of Babylon going to Jerusalem, based on Ellen White's writings: - In the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign, "Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem," to besiege the city (2 Kings 25:1). The situation for Judah was hopeless, as the Lord declared through Ezekiel: “Behold, I am against thee... I the Lord have drawn forth My sword out of his sheath... Every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water... I will pour out Mine indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of My wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, and skillful to destroy” (Ezekiel 21:3, 5-7, 31). (PK 452.1) - The Egyptians tried to help Jerusalem, so the Chaldeans (Babylonians) temporarily abandoned their siege to confront the Egyptians. This gave King Zedekiah hope, and he sent a messenger to Jeremiah, asking him to pray for the nation. (PK 452) - Later, the army of Cyrus (the Medo-Persians) came before the walls of Babylon, which was a sign to the Jews that their deliverance from captivity was near. More than a century before, the prophet Isaiah had mentioned Cyrus by name and foretold his role in taking Babylon and preparing the way for the release of the Jewish captives. (PK 549, 551) - The fall of Babylon was prophesied: “Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, The beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, Shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.” (Ed 176.5) - The message would go forth: “Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” (7T 140.1) These passages describe both the initial Babylonian siege and conquest of Jerusalem, as well as the later fall of Babylon and the return of the Jewish exiles. If you need even more specific details about a particular event or time period, please clarify! **References:** - White, E. G. (1917). *Prophets and Kings* (PK), pp. 452, 549, 551. - White, E. G.

Ellen White gives practical counsel on how to celebrate with children in a way that is meaningful and spiritually uplifting: - Do not ignore holidays or special occasions, as this can bring dissatisfaction to children. However, avoid simply copying the world's ways of celebration. Instead, parents should thoughtfully plan wholesome activities to replace worldly amusements, showing children that their happiness and well-being are important (1T 514.2; CT 346.2). - On such occasions, parents and children should feel free from care and work. Parents are encouraged to become children with their children, making the day as pleasant as possible. The whole day can be devoted to recreation, especially outdoor exercise, which is beneficial for health and brings renewed energy and courage for daily duties (1T 515.1). - Little children should be brought close to nature. Let them play freely in the sunlight, explore plants and trees, and learn to see God's wisdom and love in creation. Encourage them to join in songs of praise, fostering joy and gratitude (SpTEd 62.1). In summary: Celebrate with children by planning wholesome, joyful activities—especially outdoors and in nature—while avoiding worldly excess. Make the day special, focus on family togetherness, and use the opportunity to teach gratitude and appreciation for God's blessings. References: - White, E. G. (1885). Testimonies for the Church, vol. 1, pp. 514-515. - White, E. G. (1913). Counsels to Teachers, p. 346. - White, E. G. (1897). Special Testimonies on Education, p. 62.

Ellen White gives clear and practical guidance on how to celebrate the Sabbath with children in a way that is joyful, meaningful, and spiritually uplifting: - Make the Sabbath a delight and the most interesting day of the week for your children. Avoid sinful or forbidden amusements, but do much to exalt the Sabbath in your family (2T 584.2). - Devote time to your children: walk with them in the open air, sit with them in nature, and converse about the works of God. Inspire them with love and reverence by drawing their attention to the beauty in nature. - The Sabbath should be associated in children’s minds with the beauty of natural things. Use the day to acquaint them with God through His works (Ed 251.1). - Attend Sabbath school and worship together, but also use the remaining Sabbath hours for family time. Spend this time with your children, studying God’s word, singing, and enjoying nature together. Do not leave younger children to entertain themselves, as this can lead to restlessness and mischief, making the Sabbath lose its sacred significance (6T 358.1, 359.2). In summary: Celebrate the Sabbath with children by making it a joyful, family-centered day filled with worship, time in nature, spiritual conversation, and togetherness. Help them see the Sabbath as a delight and a special gift from God. References: - Testimonies for the Church, vol. 2, p. 584 - Testimonies for the Church, vol. 6, pp. 358-359 - Education, p. 251

Ellen White's writings do not specifically state that God will take (as in cause the death of) some children to protect them, but she does emphasize that God cares deeply for children and that parents should dedicate their children to God for His protection. Here are some key points from her writings: - Parents are encouraged to pray earnestly for their children, making a "hedge" of prayer and faith around them, trusting that holy angels will guard them from Satan's power (7T 42.4; CG 519.2; Pr 194.4). - Parents are responsible for training their children for God and should be vigilant in protecting them from evil influences (2T 397.3; CG 185.1). - God is described as a "tower of strength" for children who trust in Him, and parents are to do all in their power for their children's welfare (2T 287.1; 3MR 114.4). - There is comfort for bereaved parents in the assurance that Christ loves children and that faithful parents who dedicate their children to God can trust in His care (2MR 147.4). While Ellen White does not directly say that God will take children from this life to protect them, she does teach that God’s angels guard children who are dedicated to Him, and that parents should trust God with their children’s lives and futures. If you are seeking comfort regarding the loss of a child, Ellen White does offer words of hope and assurance that God cares for the little ones and that parents can trust Him, even in sorrow.

Ellen White uses the term "forgetfulness" in several ways, but most often she refers to it as a spiritual and practical problem that can result from negligence, lack of discipline, or inattentiveness. Here are the main points from her writings: 1. **Forgetfulness as Negligence or Sin**: Ellen White states that many people excuse their mistakes by pleading forgetfulness, but she warns that this is not a valid excuse. She writes, "Forgetfulness is sin. It leads to many blunders and to much disorder and many wrongs. Things that should be done ought not to be forgotten. The mind must be tasked; it must be disciplined until it will remember" (3T 12.1; COL 358.4). She emphasizes that forming a habit of negligence and forgetfulness can even endanger one's spiritual readiness. 2. **Forgetfulness in Children and Mental Health**: She describes forgetfulness in children as a sign of mental deficiency or lack of discipline, often linked to inattentiveness, absent-mindedness, and reluctance to engage in active labor. She notes that even simple, oft-repeated directions are forgotten, and knowledge is not retained, which she attributes to a lack of mental and physical discipline (SA 50.1; HL 221; ApM 6.1). 3. **Spiritual Forgetfulness**: Ellen White also warns against spiritual forgetfulness, such as forgetting God's blessings, His works, and His requirements. She points to the Israelites as an example, who forgot God's dealings and thus fell into sin (8T 107, 113). She encourages believers to "call to remembrance" God's goodness and not to let spiritual truths slip from memory. 4. **Forgetfulness as a Choice**: Sometimes, she notes, people choose to forget rather than admit mistakes or wrongs, using forgetfulness as an excuse to avoid confession or responsibility (2T 387.3). 5. **Forgetfulness of Past Wrongs**: In a positive sense, she encourages forgetfulness of "the dark passages" or unpleasant experiences in one's life, advising not to dwell on past hurts or wrongs, as this brings darkness rather than light (3T 97.1). In summary, Ellen White views forgetfulness—especially when it comes to duty, spiritual matters, or responsibility—as a fault to be overcome through discipline and attentiveness. However, she also encourages a kind of forgetfulness regarding past hurts, urging believers to focus on forgiveness and moving forward.

Here are more details about the "sealing time" from Ellen White's writings: - The sealing time is described as a short, solemn period just before the close of probation, when the faithful are marked or "sealed" for God. Ellen White urges believers to keep the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus continually in mind, making their calling and election sure "while the four angels are holding the four winds" (EW 58.2; ExV 46.2). This means now is the time to prepare, as the sealing will soon be over. - The seal of God will not be placed on the impure, ambitious, world-loving, or deceitful. Only those who are "without spot before God—candidates for heaven" will receive the seal (5T 216.2). Preparation involves searching the Scriptures and living a life of purity and faithfulness. - The sealing is compared to impressing a seal on wax: it is not done hastily, but with steady, continuous pressure, symbolizing the steady, consistent influence of Christian character (TSS 116.3; MH 494.3). - During the sealing time, Satan works to distract and cause God's people to waver. However, God is drawing a "covering" over His people to protect them in the coming time of trouble. Every soul who is decided on the truth and pure in heart will be covered with God's protection (EW 43.2; ExV 25.4). - The sealing is closely connected to the work of Christ in the Most Holy Place of the heavenly sanctuary. Jesus will not leave the Most Holy Place until every case is decided. When His work is finished, the seven last plagues will be poured out, and it will be too late to repent (EW 36; 5T 212.4). - The "seal" in Scripture is synonymous with "mark" or "sign" and represents that which confirms, ratifies, or makes stable (4SP 504.3; GC88 690.2). In summary: The sealing time is a brief, urgent period before the close of probation, when God's faithful people are marked for protection in the final crisis. It is a time for earnest preparation, purity, and steadfastness, as the opportunity to receive the seal will soon pass. If you need more specific details about the sealing or its timing, please clarify! References: - White, E. G. (1882). Early Writings (EW), pp. 36, 43, 58. - White, E. G. (1882).

Ellen White indicates that the "shaking" began in her time and was already in progress. She writes, "The mighty shaking has commenced and will go on, and all will be shaken out who are not willing to take a bold and unyielding stand for the truth and to sacrifice for God and His cause" (Early Writings, p. 50.3; Experience and Views, p. 31.4). This suggests that the shaking began during the early Advent movement and continues as God's people are tested by the "straight testimony" to the Laodiceans (see also Testimonies for the Church, vol. 1, p. 181.1; Early Writings, p. 270.2). The shaking is caused by the straight testimony and the call to faithfulness, and it will continue until all who are not firmly rooted in the truth are separated out. The process is ongoing and intensifies as the end approaches. **References:** - Early Writings, pp. 50.3, 270.2 - Experience and Views, p. 31.4 - Testimonies for the Church, vol. 1, p. 181.1

Ellen White’s writings address the question of slaves going to heaven with both compassion and clarity. Here are the key points, with direct references: 1. **Pious Slaves Will Be Saved** Ellen White saw in vision that faithful, believing slaves—those who trusted in God despite their oppression—will be delivered and go to heaven. She writes: > “Then commenced the jubilee, when the land should rest. I saw the pious slave rise in triumph and victory, and shake off the chains that bound him, while his wicked master was in confusion, and knew not what to do; for the wicked could not understand the words of the voice of God.” (Early Writings, 286.1; Life Sketches, 103.1; The Story of Redemption, 410.1; Christian Experience and Teachings, 96.1) 2. **Slaves Kept in Ignorance** However, she also states that God cannot take to heaven the slave who has been kept in total ignorance and degradation, knowing nothing of God or the Bible, fearing only the master’s lash, and not even holding the dignity of a brute. For such, “He permits him to be as if he had not been, while the master must endure the seven last plagues and then come up in the second resurrection and suffer the second, most awful death. Then the justice of God will be satisfied.” (Early Writings, 276.1; 1 Spiritual Gifts, 193.1) 3. **God’s Justice and Compassion** Ellen White is clear that the slave master will be held accountable for the ignorance and sins of the slave whom he has kept in darkness. The colored race are God’s property, and Christ died for all—white and black. (1 Testimonies, 358.1; Testimonies, vol. 1, p. 484.1) 4. **No Caste in Heaven** She affirms that in heaven, there is no caste or racial distinction. All who believe in Christ, regardless of their earthly status or color, are members of the royal family and will walk with Christ in white. (8 Manuscript Releases, 336.2; 4 Manuscript Releases, 34.5) 5. **Heaven’s Welcome for the Faithful** Heaven is for those who have been faithful, regardless of their earthly position. The redeemed will be welcomed, and every sinful tendency will be removed by the blood of Christ. (Steps to Christ, 126.1; The Story of Redemption, 425.2) **Summary:** - Faithful slaves who trusted in God will be saved and go to heaven. - Slaves kept in total ignorance by their masters, knowing nothing of God, will not be resurrected to suffer, but will be as if they had not been; their masters bear the responsibility. - There is no racial or social distinction in heaven; all who accept Christ are heirs of God. **References:** - Early Writings, 276.1, 286.1 - Life Sketches, 103.1 - The Story of Redemption, 410.1, 425.2 - Christian Experience and Teachings, 96.1 - 1 Testimonies, 358.1, 484.1 - 8 Manuscript Releases, 336.2 - Steps to Christ, 126.1 If you need more specific quotations or further explanation, please let me know!

Ellen White’s writings have sometimes been accused of containing contradictions, but her own statements and the context of her ministry provide important perspective: 1. **Human Limitations and Growth in Understanding** Ellen White acknowledged her humanity and the limitations of her language and understanding. She wrote, “She was human, subject to all the infirmities and weaknesses of the race; but she found in Christ a precious Saviour and Helper. He called her to do a most unpopular work, and she responded. He has used her mightily” (LS 460.1). She also admitted, “I am not a grammarian. I will try, if the Lord will help me, at forty-five years old to become a scholar in the science. God will help me. I believe He will” (10MR 65.2). This means her writings reflect both divine messages and her own human expression. 2. **Progressive Revelation and Context** Ellen White’s understanding, like that of the early church, was progressive. She wrote, “We must advance step by step, from light to greater light” (8MR 319). Sometimes, earlier statements were clarified or expanded as new light was given. She cautioned that “an isolated statement should not be used by itself, lest the part be taken for the whole” (CD 5.2). 3. **Misunderstandings and Misuse** She warned that her writings could be misunderstood or misused: “It is not always safe for me to express my own judgment, for sometimes when someone wishes to carry out his own purpose, he will regard any favorable word I may speak as special light from the Lord. I shall be cautious in all my movements” (2MR 151). She also said, “If the Testimonies speak not according to the word of God, reject them. Christ and Belial cannot be united” (5T 691.2). 4. **No Claim to Infallibility** Ellen White never claimed infallibility. She said, “The testimonies I have borne you have in truth been presented to me by the Lord. I am sorry that you have rejected the light given...” (5MR 139). She also called her writings a “lesser light to lead men and women to the greater light” (3SM 30.4). 5. **Critics and Context** She recognized that critics would look for contradictions: “Some are eagerly watching for something to condemn in Brother and Sister White... The testimonies of reproof have checked their vanity and pride; but if they dared, they would go to almost any length in fashion and pride” (3T 312.4). **Summary:** Ellen White’s writings reflect both divine inspiration and human expression. Apparent contradictions often result from changes in understanding, context, or the misuse of isolated statements. She encouraged readers to study her writings as a whole, in harmony with the Bible, and to reject anything not in agreement with Scripture. **References:** - Life Sketches, 460.1 - Manuscript Releases, vol. 10, 65.2; vol. 8, 319; vol. 2, 151 - Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, 691.2; vol. 3, 312.4 - Counsels on Diet and Foods, 5.2 - Selected Messages, book 3, 30.4 - Manuscript Releases, vol. 5, 139 If you have a specific example of a contradiction, I can help you look at the context and explanation in her own words.

Efectivamente, en los escritos de Elena de White se afirma que Dios exige a Su pueblo vencer. Aquí tienes algunos puntos clave basados en sus declaraciones: - Dios prueba la fe y perseverancia de Su pueblo, y espera que confíen en Su poder para vencer. “Dios probará la fe, la perseverancia, la confianza de Su pueblo en Su poder para librarlos... Su fe no fallará porque sus oraciones no sean contestadas inmediatamente. Se asirán de la fortaleza de Dios, como Jacob se asió del Ángel, y el lenguaje de sus almas será: ‘No te dejaré ir, si no me bendices’” (Patriarcas y Profetas, 202.1). - La obediencia a cada palabra de Dios es condición para la victoria. “La obediencia era la lección que el Capitán del ejército del Señor procuraba enseñar... Cuando hay obediencia a la voz de nuestro Líder, Cristo conducirá Sus batallas de maneras que sorprenderán a los mayores poderes de la tierra” (Testimonios para la Iglesia, tomo 6, 140.1). - Dios lleva a Su pueblo “de fuerza en fuerza, de gracia en gracia, de gloria en gloria” y les exige avanzar y vencer, no retroceder (Life Sketches, 430.2). - En la lucha final, “Dios probará la fe, la perseverancia, la confianza de Su pueblo en Su poder para librarlos... Se asirán de la fortaleza de Dios” (Patriarcas y Profetas, 202.1). - “Dios obra poderosamente por un pueblo fiel que obedece Su palabra sin cuestionar ni dudar... Que el pueblo renuncie al yo y al deseo de obrar según sus propios planes, que se someta humildemente a la voluntad divina, y Dios reavivará su fuerza y traerá libertad y victoria a Sus hijos” (Testimonios para la Iglesia, tomo 4, 164.1). En resumen: Dios exige a Su pueblo vencer, pero también les da la fuerza y los medios para hacerlo, siempre que confíen en Él, sean obedientes y perseveren en la fe. ¿Te gustaría una cita específica o contexto adicional?

Ellen White enseña que el pueblo de Dios tiene un papel importante en vindicar (defender y demostrar la justicia) el carácter y la ley de Dios ante el universo. Aquí algunos puntos clave de sus escritos: - Dios ha hecho a su pueblo depositario de su ley y espera que la defiendan y la exalten, aun frente a la oposición: “Dios ha hecho a su pueblo los depositarios de su ley. Deben sostener los reclamos de esa ley pisoteada... El Señor Dios de Israel ha guiado a su pueblo, revelándoles la verdad de origen celestial. Su voz se ha escuchado, y aún se escucha, diciendo: Avanzad de fuerza en fuerza, de gracia en gracia, de gloria en gloria. La obra se fortalece y se amplía, porque el Señor Dios de Israel es la defensa de su pueblo.” (LS 430.2; LP 279.1) - A través de la obediencia y la fidelidad, el pueblo de Dios glorifica su nombre y demuestra ante el mundo y el universo que Dios es justo y verdadero: “Dios entregó a Israel con manifestaciones poderosas de su poder... Los rescató... para que observaran sus estatutos y guardaran sus leyes... y en respuesta a toda su bondad y misericordia... debían exaltar su nombre y hacerlo glorioso en la tierra.” (PP 334.2) - En la historia de Israel, Dios manifestó su poder para confirmar la fe de su pueblo y para que las naciones supieran que Él es el único Dios verdadero: “El honor de Jehová fue vindicado ante los ojos de las naciones circundantes... En su gran necesidad confiaron plenamente en el poder de Dios para salvar, y Él no les falló.” (PK 361.4) - El propósito de Dios es que, por medio de su pueblo, se revele su carácter y se bendiga a toda la humanidad: “Por medio de la nación escogida, Dios había propuesto traer bendición a toda la humanidad.” (PK 17.4) En resumen: El pueblo de Dios vindica a Dios al obedecerle, defender su ley y reflejar su carácter ante el mundo y el universo. Así, muestran que Dios es justo, verdadero y digno de confianza. ¿Te gustaría una cita específica o contexto adicional? Referencias: - White, E. G. (1915).
