EXCERPTS FROM THE BOOKLET IMPUTED AND IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS By Nyron Medina


Justification is God non-imputing the sins of the heart which are idol-values to the penitent believer. (Romans 4:6-8; Ezekiel 36:25).
b. It is also the imputation of the Righteousness of God, the divine Nature to the person. (Jeremiah 23:5,6; Romans 4:3; Romans 3:22).
c. This imputation is God counting Righteousness to the person, and is the imparting or gift of Righteousness to the person. The Righteousness is present in him. (Romans 4:5,11; Psalms 40:10).
d. This salvific act of God really makes the believer sinfree since it is also the new birth. (1 John 3:9; 1 Corinthians 15:34).
e. As he is righteous within as God is righteous, he in fact does works of righteousness. (Psalms 40:10; 1 John 3:7).
f. Daily God imputed/imparted Righteousness, to him that he obeys from the heart that doctrine and remains 
free from sin. (John 17:17; Romans 6:17,18).
g. Since Justification by imputed/imparted Righteousness, the new birth, makes the man sinfeee, he is to keep himself so that he does not fall into sin. (I John 5:18; John 3:5-8; Galatians 3:7-9,14; Galatians 4:6).
h. The justified man (by imputed/imparted Righteousness) does not sin. 1 John 3:5,6,9.
i. But if while justified he does sin, it is the man who builds again the carnal values he destroyed making himself a sinner again. Galatians 2:17,18.
j. Those who have been justified from sin by imputed/imparted Righteousness cannot live in sin any longer. Romans 6:1,2.
g. Since Justification by imputed/imparted Righteousness, the new birth, makes the man sin, he is to keep himself so that he does not fall into sin. (I John 5:18; John 3:5-8; Galatians 3:7-9,14; Galatians 4:6).
d. This salvific act of God really makes the believer sinfree since it is also the new birth. (1 John 3:9; 1 Corinthians 15:34).
47. God sees the above reality as change or conversion or justification (in God’s sight) and need not to pretend as if it is so. Romans 3:20; 2 Corinthians 4:2; Galatians 3:11; Colossians 1:21,22; 1 John 3:22.
48. The chart on the previous shows the nature of Second Sanctification.
49. First Sanctification is separation from sin, or being holified by Justification which is being made righteous. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.
But Second Sanctification is the maintenance of the change, or the gift of Righteousness within by abiding in the Truths of Jesus Christ. 1 John 2:24; John 15:7,10.
It is also the maintenance of the change by doing the works of the Law through Faith. (Hebrews 10:38; 1 John 2:5,6; 1 John 3:24; 1 john 5:4).
So much we can say that First Sanctification or Justification is a subjective change, and that this proves that it is imputed/imparted Righteousness, and this is separation from sin, that the Scriptures reveal Justification to be accomplished by the word of God, which cleans or sanctifies. (Isaiah 53:11; John 15:3; John 17:17).
In Second Sanctification, it is when the believer abides in Christ that he keeps the Law of God. (John 15:4,5; John 14:15).

Disproving the So-called Forensic Gospel

Disproving the So-called Forensic Gospel INTRODUCTION 1. The Bible tells us that any false gospel is a thing cursed by God. Galatians 1:6-9. 2. The false gospel makes us say Lord, Lord, but do not His Will, such people are lost.  Matthew 7:21-23. 3. The false gospel is described as untempered mortar that cannot help. Ezekiel 13:9-16. 4. It also tells a person peace, peace, (which is given by Justification) when there is no peace.  Romans 5:1; Jeremiah 8:10, 11. 5. However, the real Gospel is described as the power or science of God unto salvation  because it makes the believer, live by Faith. Romans 1:16, 17. 6. The Bible clearly explains that the Gospel of God’s Grace teaches denying ungodliness, it  teaches living righteously, it teaches that the purpose of the sacrifice of Christ was to  redeem us from all iniquities, (not in them), and to purify a people who are preoccupied  with performing good works. This is what ...

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES SHOULD BE?

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES  SHOULD BE? We are in the very last days, we are told that the last controversy will be very short. “We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecies are fulfilling. The last great conflict will be short, but terrible. Old controversies will be revived. New controversies will arise. We have a great work to do. Our ministerial work must not cease. The last warning must be given to the world. There is a special power in the presentation of the truth at the present time. How long will it last? Only a little while.” Ellen G. White, Selected Messages bk. 3, pg. 419. And in view of the lateness of time, what should be the inquiry of everyone? We are told: “The inquiry of everyone should be ‘whose am I? To whom do I owe allegiance? Is my heart renewed? Is my soul reformed? Are my sins forgiven? Will they be blotted out when the time of refreshing shall come?” Ibid, pg. 419. We must needs examine ourselves to see if we...

MRS WHITE QUOTES ON THE 1888 MESSAGE REJECTION

1. “The Lord in His great mercy sent a most precious message to His people through Elders Waggoner and Jones.” — TM p. 91. 2. “God gave to His servants a testimony that presented the truth as it is in Jesus, which is the third angel’s message, in clear distinct lines” — TM p. 93. 3. “The message of the gospel of His grace was to be given to the church in clear and distinct lines, that the world should no longer say that Seventh-Day Adventists talk the law, the law, but do not teach or believe Christ. The efficacy of the blood of Christ was to be presented to the people with freshness and power.” — TM p. 92. 4. “This is the very work which the Lord designs that the message He has given His servants, shall perform in the heart and mind of every human agent….God gave to His messengers just what the people needed.” — TM p. 95. 5. “The Lord would have these grand themes studied in our churches, and if every church member shall give entrance to the word of God it will give light and...
