    Sovereign Facts of the Gospel

    The views set forth in Mrs. White’s writings are not presented in the form of a church creed; neither are they given as categorical statements of belief. Instead, they are clear, confident expositions of the very heart of the vital truths set forth in the word of God.AGP 280.2

    Students of the Bible readily discover that it constantly enunciates great fundamental truths for which no argument is made, and for which no source reference is given credit. They are just definitely and positively declared. Note carefully the following statements:AGP 280.3

    “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Genesis 1:1.AGP 280.4

    “God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him.” Genesis 1:27.AGP 280.5

    “By one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men.” Romans 5:12.AGP 280.6

    “God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16.AGP 280.7

    “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” Acts 16:31.AGP 280.8

    “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God.” 2 Timothy 3:16.AGP 281.1

    No more profound example of unqualified, declarative teaching is found anywhere than in the Saviour’s immortal Sermon on the Mount.AGP 281.2

    To such sovereign facts of the gospel are related the thousands of details recorded in the Scriptures. Differences of opinion in the interpretation of minor matters may be allowed; but without the greatest peril, there can be no departure from the plain, positive fundamentals. Were that permitted, the divine plan would be rent in shreds by the foolishness of human reasoning.AGP 281.3

    Wherefore, to all expounders of the Scripture it is declared: “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:20.AGP 281.4

    The Bible is the supreme, infallible revelation of God to all men in all nations, and for all time. By this book all theories, teachings, and doctrines are to be tried. By it all men’s characters are to be weighed, and their destiny decided. Next to the gift of Christ to redeem the human race, the Bible, God’s holy word, is God’s best gift to instruct and guide mankind through the journey of life. Theories, whether of religion, science, or morals, that plainly contradict this divine Book are false. They are not of God. They must, therefore, be rejected.AGP 281.5
