So the author believes that music is an important thing in the life of the people of God, who until now still many members of the congregation have not understood and give more attention to the music of the church. One proof of why this music is important is the increasing number of paradigms about music that often make many people confused because their understanding and view of music is still very limited. Music plays an important role in the lives of Christians. Music gets the most noble position and role in worship to God. Some of the most sublime phrases ever used to praise God were originally designed in the form of music. The psalmist David wrote "I will praise the name of God by song" (Psalm 69:31). The Seventh-day Adventist Church has a more specific view regarding the use of musical instruments, and this is still a very interesting discussion. The attitude of agreeing and disagreeing among the members of the Church concerning musi both vocal and instrumental, is still a warm conversation among the members of the Church. Ellen G. White writes, "Music is created to serve a sacred purpose, elevating the mind to the pure, the noble, and the exalting, and awakening the soul to worship and thank God." Ellen G.
