Another integrating theme in Ellen White's writings is that of the great
controversy, or struggle, between Christ and Satan. Ellen White emphasizes
repeatedly that the focal point of the great controversy is Satan's aim to
misrepresent the loving character of God--to portray God's law of love as an
arbitrary law of selfishness. God's demonstration of His love in the ongoing
conflict with Satan forms the focus of her five-volume Conflict of the Ages
Series. The foremost demonstration of God's love was the sending of His Son
Jesus Christ, who came not only to die for the human race, but to portray God's
character of love in the face of Satan's accusations.
Thought for the Day
Caste is hateful to God. He ignores everything of this character. In His sight the souls of all men are of equal value. He "hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after Him, and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us." Without distinction of age, or rank, or nationality, or religious privilege, all are invited to come unto Him and live. Desire of Ages, p. 403
