by last generation demonstration

Just before us is the closing struggle of the great controversy when, with “all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness,” Satan is to work to misrepresent the character of God, that he may “seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.” If there was ever a people in need of constantly increasing light from heaven, it is the people that, in this time of peril, God has called to be the depositaries of His holy law and to 𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 His character before the world. Those to whom has been committed a trust so sacred must be spiritualized, elevated, vitalized, by the truths they profess to believe. {CCh 345.6}

by church

God has a distinct people, a church on earth, second to none, but superior to all in their facilities to teach the truth, to 𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 the law of God. God has divinely appointed agencies--men whom He is leading, who have borne the heat and burden of the day, who are cooperating with heavenly instrumentalities to advance the kingdom of Christ in our world. Let all unite with these chosen agents, and be found at last among those who have the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of God, and have the faith of Jesus. {TM 58.1}

by Jesus

Someone must come to 𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 the character of God, and here is Christ, who stands as the representation of the Father, and He is to work out the salvation of the human race. {1888 126.1}

by praise

Pray, pray earnestly and without ceasing, but do not forget to praise. It becomes every child of God to 𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 His character. You can magnify the Lord; you can show the power of sustaining grace.{5T 317.2}

by extermination of sin

Then the extermination of sin will 𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 God's love and establish His honor before a universe of beings who delight to do His will, and in whose heart is His law. {DA 764.3}

𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗦 Of God’s Law But those who look into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and persevere, being not hearers who forget but doers who act—they will be blessed in their doing. James 1:25, NRSV. {CTr 59.1} CTr 59.1 21.01pts

Every soul of us living upon the face of the earth must have our test and trials. Circumstances will occur in the providence of God when we will be called to vindicate our faith. We shall give decided evidence which side we are on. We shall either be decidedly the 𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗦 of God’s holy law, or on the side of the transgressors. We shall be tested as Noah was tested. Because the corruption was nearly universal in his age, did he then argue that it would not pay for him to stand separate and alone for God’s law? He took his position as God’s nobleman on the side of right because it was right.—Manuscript 86, 1886. {CTr 59.5} CTr 59.5 21.01pts

Crime of every type is increasing in the world, and the earth is defiled under the inhabitants thereof. The eternal plans of God are about to be fulfilled, and the end of all things is at hand. This is a time when those who have a knowledge of the truth of God should be ranging themselves on the side of the blood-stained banner of Prince Emmanuel. They should stand forth as defenders of the faith delivered to the saints. They should make manifest to the world what it is to keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus. They should let their light shine forth in clear, strong rays upon the pathway of those who walk in darkness. The soldiers of Christ should stand shoulder to shoulder, loyal to truth, 𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗦 of the law of Jehovah. {SD 269.2} SD 269.2 21.01pts

June 29, 1893 Words to the Young. My dear young friends, you need to cultivate a more simple, trusting faith. You are keeping too close to the world, and not pressing close enough to the side of Christ. You need to study more closely the life and character of Christ; you need to behold his simplicity, his meekness and lowliness of heart; you need to fall upon the Rock and be broken, that Christ may mold you into his own image. Crime of every type is increasing in the world, and the earth is defiled under the inhabitants thereof. The eternal plans of God are about to be fulfilled, and the end of all things is at hand. This is a time when those who have a knowledge of the truth of God should be ranging themselves on the side of the blood-stained banner of Prince Emmanuel. They should stand forth as defenders of the faith delivered to the saints. They should make manifest to the world what it is to keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus. They should let their light shine forth in clear, strong rays upon the pathway of those who walk in darkness. The soldiers of Christ should stand shoulder to shoulder, loyal to truth, 𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗦 of the law of Jehovah. {YI, June 29, 1893 par. 1} YI, June 29, 1893 par. 1 21.01pts

everyone who obeys vindicates God's law because the accusation of Satan is that the law is unfair, unjust, unnecessary, selfish, unloving, restrictive, not for our happiness: Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 42: “Satan’s rebellion was to be a lesson to the universe through all coming ages—a perpetual testimony to the nature of sin and its terrible results. The working out of Satan's rule, its effects upon both men and angels, would show what must be the fruit of setting aside the divine authority. It would testify that with the existence of God's government and His law is bound up the well-being of all the creatures He has made.” The Great Controversy, p. 498: “It was his policy to perplex the angels with subtle arguments concerning the purposes of God. Everything that was simple he shrouded in mystery, and by artful perversion cast doubt upon the plainest statements of Jehovah.” The Desire of Ages, p. 761: “In the opening of the great controversy, Satan had declared that the law of God could not be obeyed, that justice was inconsistent with mercy, and that, should the law be broken, it would be impossible for the sinner to be pardoned.”
