Something bigger than the worship on the day Pentecost happened in 1888 and there was minimal reception and maximum rejection. Does that mean that nobody heard it and therefore it never happened? Ellen White pled with “men” to “give up their spirit of resistance to the Holy Spirit, ... The Holy Spirit has been insulted, and light has been rejected” (The Ellen G. White 1888 Materials, p. 1494, Feb. 6, 1896).
"There is not a point that needs to be dwelt upon more earnestly, repeated more frequently, or established more firmly in the minds of all, than the impossibility of fallen man meriting anything by his own best good works. Salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ alone." Ellen G. White
Therefore, my brethren, justification by faith forever, without any works of any law of any kind whatever, —this is the only ground of hope of salvation. A. T. Jones

Lesson 6: “Expounding the Faith”
We must pause a moment and look at that word agape. It’s the Greek word for love, but it is an entirely different idea than we know naturally. The love we have by nature loves people who are nice; God’s agape loves people who are mean and bad. Our love depends on the beauty or value of the person whom we love; God’s love creates value or goodness in the one whom He loves. There’s where our hope lies! ~ Robert J. Wieland

Lesson 4: “Justified by Faith”
"Christ took upon His sinless nature mankind’s sinful nature, and at the cross crucified that nature. Just as all humanity were in Adam when he fell, just so all humanity were in Christ when He died the equivalent of the second death on the cross of Calvary. Therefore, without performing any legal trickery God is able legally to declare the sinner righteous." Ann Walper

All of human life both in the past, present, and future exists because it is justified by the cross. Calvary justifies the existence of all life.
