Ellen White on Who God Is

“All the light of the past, all the light which shines in the present and reaches forth into the future, as revealed in the Word of God, is for every soul who will receive it. The glory of this light, which is the very glory of the character of Christ, is to be manifested in the individual Christian, in the family, in the church, in the ministry of the Word, and in every institution established by God’s people… By beholding the goodness, the mercy, the justice, and the love of God revealed in the church, the world is to have a representation of His character.”  Ellen White, God’s Amazing Grace, p. 229

“Instead of directing the people to study men’s theories about God, His word or His works, He taught them to behold Him, as manifested in His works, in His word, and by His providences. He brought their minds in contact with the mind of the Infinite.” Ellen White, Lift Him Up, p. 177

“In God’s word is found wisdom unquestionable, inexhaustible–wisdom that originated, not in the finite, but in the infinite mind. But much of that which God has revealed in His word is dark to men, because the jewels of truth are buried beneath the rubbish of human wisdom and tradition. To many the treasures of the word remain hidden, because they have not been searched for with earnest perseverance until the golden precepts were understood. The word must be searched in order to purify and prepare those who receive it to become members of the royal family, children of the heavenly King.” Ellen White, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 6, p. 132
