Steps to Christ

White, Ellen G. Steps to Christ. Phoenix, Arizona: Inspiration Books, 1991.

Steps to Christ concentrates on God’s inclusive love for His people and His merciful nature. Ellen White addresses how we can all be saved by grace and how we can become better Christians. She dedicates each chapter to describe ways to get closer to God, following a set of steps that require higher and higher dedication and more understanding of God’s wisdom; Steps that will lead you to God; Steps to Christ.

In my opinion, the most critical points the author presents in Steps to Christ are the ones dealing with Repentance and with Doubt.

How did she learn everything she knows about Jesus?

I would recommend this book to practically anybody but I would especially recommend it to those who are new in the faith and are looking for more detailed materials to read besides the Bible. The new followers of Christ change the way they behave and act towards others through the purifying power of the Holy Spirit and start showing the “loveliness of the character of Christ. We have to help them by reflecting the light that shines to us and help them find Jesus. The more we learn about God, the more it becomes clear to us how impure we are in our actions and our thoughts, and the certainty of having Jesus with us is powerful, for it gives us a feeling of comfort and love that lasts through eternity.

The last chapter of the book, “Rejoicing in the Lord,” is a summary on how us, Christians, should behave towards others.

. Therefore, we should choose to live and grow into Christ, looking up to him as the greatest model of righteousness and depending on him to give us this righteousness in exchange for the burden of our sins that He is carrying. I was wondering, as I was reading, about how She knows so many details about everything. It states that God wants to be shown to us through Nature and His works and they are all there to remind us of his love. We need it to show our commitment to Him and how thankful we are for all the blessings that we receive. When transgression takes place, man now being apart from God and in sin, there is a need to find a bridge or a way of communication to “reclaim the lost, and bring them back to the Father’s house.
