From the Spirit of Prophecy we know that the GLORY of the LORD is His CHARACTER:

7 Bible Commentaries 979
To give glory to God is to reveal His character in our own, and thus make Him known. And in whatever way we make know the Father or the Son, we glorify God.

Review and Herald Feb 4, 1890
The LAW spoken from Sinai is a transcript of God’s character.

The glory of Christ is revealed in the LAW, which is a transcript of His character…

The New Testament promise is:
Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

Law is also showing us what is sin and why Jesus had to die:

1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
But the outward keeping of the LAW can’t save us and it has to be written in our hearts.

Patriarchs and Prophets 70
The very fact that Christ bore the penalty of man’s transgression is a mighty argument to all created intelligences that the law is changeless; that God is righteous, merciful, and self-denying; and that infinite justice and mercy unite in the administration of His government.

In our logo there is the BIBLE as the unadulterated source of PLAN OF SALVATION with the message of the CROSS, GOD’S LAW written with His own finger and the flame of HOLY SPIRIT who gives us understanding of HIS WORD.

Revelation 12:1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the MOON under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.

Sabbath as a special point of controversy between Satan and Jesus is highlighted as it is the heart of all 10 Commandments.

Early Writings 32
In the holiest I saw an ark; on the top and sides of it was purest gold. On each end of the ark was a lovely cherub, with its wings spread out over it. Their faces were turned toward each other, and they looked downward. Between the angels was a golden censer. Above the ark, where the angels stood, was an exceeding bright glory, that appeared like a throne where God dwelt. Jesus stood by the ark, and as the saints’ prayers came up to Him, the incense in the censer would smoke, and He would offer up their prayers with the smoke of the incense to His Father. In the ark was the golden pot of manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of stone which folded together like a book. Jesus opened them, and I saw the ten commandments written on them with the finger of God. On one table were four, and on the other six. The four on the first table shone brighter than the other six. But the fourth, the Sabbath commandment, shone above them all; for the Sabbath was set apart to be kept in honor of God’s holy name. The holy Sabbath looked glorious–a halo of glory was all around it. I saw that the Sabbath commandment was not nailed to the cross. If it was, the other nine commandments were; and we are at liberty to break them all, as well as to break the fourth. I saw that God had not changed the Sabbath, for He never changes. But the pope had changed it from the seventh to the first day of the week; for he was to change times and laws.

Two ribbons reflect the water and blood flowing out of Jesus side at the crucifixion – representing
1) His power to justify us by paying out with His own death the penalty for sin
2) and His ability to sanctify us and keep us from falling.

John 19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Jude 24-25 Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
