THE THEOLOGY OF SABBATH SCHOOL
A theology of Sabbath School identifies and explains the assumptions undergirding the oldest school in the SDA church. God is the Source of all knowledge undergirds all the functions of the Sabbath School. Paul argues that “by him all things were created…” (Colossians 1: 16). God did not only create all things, He is the only One capable transforming the human heart. God declares in Ezekiel 36:26 “I will give you a new heart and I will put my Spirit in you.” Ellen G. White put it tersely “Christ is the only Source of every right impulse. Christ is the only one who can implant in the heart enmity against sin” (Steps to Christ p. 26). These are the two major Biblical foundations undergirding the Sabbath School. The God who is the Source of all knowledge transform lives through the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit.

The Governing Principle for Inter America Division Sabbath School
