It seems that as long as the primal teaching by the Seventh-day Adventist church is that our salvation can be gone in a moment of weakness after a lifetime of effort, existential fear drowns out love.  I am reminded of a teaching colleague privately offering back in the '60’s, ‘I just hope to meet Jesus after dying between two clean white sheets.’

Fear is a many splendored thing among a great deal of Christianity.  Seventh-day Adventism could well make a name for itself, without having to change its name or abandon Revelation 14, by proclaiming the everlasting gospel that our salvation is not of our selves, and thus utterly reliable as Paul explains in Romans 8 … ‘I am persuaded that … [nothing] shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.’

Imagine that hope loose in the world.  Adventist educator and theologian Fritz Guy imagines it here  https://www.andrews.edu/library/car/cardigital/Periodicals/Spectrum/2005_Vol_33/2_Spring_2005.pdf#page=18
