A Close Look at the Messages of Ellen White
By Juan Carlos Viera
Thought for the Day
The law is an expression of the thought of God; when received in Christ, it becomes our thought. It lifts us above the power of natural desires and tendencies, above temptations that lead to sin. God desires us to be happy, and He gave us the precepts of the law that in obeying them we might have joy. Desire of Ages, p. 307
