Description

BIBLICAL REFERENCES AND QUOTES FROM ELLEN WHITE USED IN THIS VIDEO: INTRODUCTION: “I saw that the holy angels look with wonder upon those who profess to be children of God, yet remain cold and indifferent in His presence.” Testimonies for the Church, Volume 1, chapter 32, page 145 PART 1 - IRREVERENCE: “When we enter the house of God, we should bear in mind that angels are there. We should enter with reverence, remembering that we are in the presence of the Most High.” Testimonies for the Church, Volume 5, chapter 65, page 491 “God is not pleased when His people, whom He has sanctified for Himself, come into His presence in slovenly or inappropriate clothing. The angels of heaven observe every worshipper who enters the house of God.” Messages to Young People, chapter 79, page 351 PART 2 - HYPOCRISY: “There are many who profess to serve God, while relying on their own efforts to obey His law, form right character, and gain salvation. Their hearts are not moved by deep love for Christ, but they seek to fulfill the duties of Christian life as something God requires of them in order to gain Heaven.” Steps to Christ, chapter 5, page 44 “The angels of God, who bring light and glory from the throne of God to sincere worshipers, witness the vain words, vain gestures, and vain acts of formal and hypocritical worshipers.” Testimonies for the Church, Volume 5, chapter 70, page 607 “God does not accept divided obedience. The heart that is divided between God and the world is not wholly His. He will perceive the falsehood. The worldly mind, filled with presumption and hypocrisy, may deceive men, but it cannot deceive God.” Messages to Young People, chapter 21, page 124 PART 3 - NEGLECT: “The angels of God are in the congregation. What record are they making? They are recording the words and deeds of the worshipers. There are people whose minds wander continually. They do not hear the voice of God speaking directly to them through His servant.” Testimonies for the Church, Volume 5, chapter 70, page 608 “I saw that the angels of God record all their words and deeds. Those who profess to have faith in the truth and do not heed the warnings, reproofs, and counsel of God's Word will have to face their careless words and negligence in the judgment.” Testimonies for the Church, Volume 2, chapter 15, page 158 PART 4 - REJECTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: “The Spirit of God, persistently resisted, is finally withdrawn from the sinner, and then there is no power left to subdue the evil passions of the soul, and no protection against the malice and hostility of Satan.” Patriarchs and Prophets, chapter 7, page 69 “He who repeatedly resists the Spirit of God is in grave danger. The impression made by rejection weakens. The next time, he will be less sensitive to the influence of the Holy Spirit. And so it goes on until the impression is entirely eliminated.” Testimonies for the Church, Volume 5, chapter 80, page 634 “When someone rejects the light that God sends them, the angels sadly withdraw from that person. The evil angels rejoice when they see the power they have over them.” Selected Messages, Volume 1, chapter 56, page 407 “I saw that many profess to have their names written in the Book of Life who do not. And those who have their names written there may have them blotted out if they do not heed the warnings and reproofs given them and overcome their faults.” Early Writings, chapter 5, page 37 📚 BOOKS BY ELLEN WHITE CITED: Testimonies for the Church (Volumes 1, 2, 5) Messages to Young People Steps to Christ Patriarchs and Prophets Selected Messages (Volume 1) Early Writings
