CHANGE IS IMPORTTANT IN CHRISTIANITY

1. Man is in a terrible corrupt state. Isa. 1:5,6; Rom. 3:10-19.
2. His mind is the problem. Gen. 6:5; Pr. 23:7; Jer. 17:9.
3. He cannot please God in his state. Rom. 8:6-8.
4. Man cannot be saved in his present sinful state. Matt. 18:3; Lk. 13:3.
5. He must become a new person. Gal. 6:15.
6. Change from the old to the new man is therefore the important thing in true Bible religion in both Old Testament (First Witness) and New Testament (Second Witness).
a. Changed into another man. 1 Sam. 10:6,7,9.
b. Circumcised to love God with the Word within. Deut. 30:6,14.
c. A right spirit renewed within. Ps. 51:5-7,10.
d. A new heart and new spirit in place of the old. Eze. 11: 19,20; Eze. 36:25-27.
e. Inner cleansing first in place of the old. Matt. 23:25,26.
f. Born again new in place of the old. Jn. 3:3-8; 1 Pet. 1: 22,23; 1 Pet. 3:4.
g. New man in place of the old. Eph. 2:11-16; Eph. 4:17-25.
h. New creature (creation). 2 Cor. 5:14,15,17.
i. New man in place of the old. Rom. 6:3-8; Rom. 12:2.
7. Thus it is clearly seen that change from the old to the new is necessary in Christianity. Gal. 2:18-20; Gal. 5:16-25.
THE END

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 are

And I heard another voice  from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her  sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:1-4. Of this Scripture  we are told that it speaks about the Church, fallen because of sins. “In amazement  they [the people] hear the testimony that Babylon is the church,
