LEADING SOMEONE TO SEE THE TRUTH

1. A person needs to know what to do to be saved, the Bible says that a person must repent of all their sins and believe the gospel. Mark 1:14,15.
The person needs to confess his sins to God, he needs to admit to God that he has sinned with all the wickedness he have done throughout all his life. Romans 10:9,10. [example Psalms 51:1-17].
Then God will justify the person, this is changing the person’s mind from being carnal to spiritual. (Romans 8:5-8; Romans 5:1).
The person is changed form sin to holiness. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.
Justification is the gift of the Holy Spirit into the heart. (Galatians 3:7-9,14; Galatians 4:6).
When a person is justified they are made to keep the Law of God. Romans 3:28-31.
This is why Christ said that to enter into life a person must keep the Law. Matthew 19:17.
The Law is written in the heart that a person might keep it. Mark 7:21-23; Hebrews 8:10).
The person needs to keep the whole Law because he will be judged by the Law of God. James 2:8-12.
This involves keeping the Sabbath also in Hebrews 4:9 (The word “rest” is a wrong translation. The real Greek word is “Sabbatismos” and it means actually “Sabbath-keeping”). Thus “the people of God” will rest the Seventh-day as God did, keeping the Sabbath. Hebrews 4:3-6,9-11.
Christians are spiritual Jews. Romans 2:28,29.
A spiritual Israelite is one who has a pure heart. Psalms 73:1.
The Sabbath is the only “obedience-sign” of serving the true God, and God’s people will have that sign. Exodus 31:13; Ezekiel 20:12,20.
God’s last day saints will have the Faith of Jesus Christ and keep the Law. Revelation 14:12.
Those who through the truth have kept God’s Law will have the right to enter into the new city and partake of the tree of Life. Revelation 22:14
A person must daily, as much as possible, study the Bible with the words of God it contains for correction. 2 Timothy 3:15-17.
Keeping or hiding the word of God in the heart will cause one to overcome sin. Psalms 119:9,11.
1. The nominal General-Conference S. D. A. Church no longer teach that Justification is a change of heart, but that sin remains alive in the justified person. This is not the Gospel; the S. D. A. Church no longer have the real Gospel, but a counterfeit of it. Hear them:
a. “Again, justification is almost fiction. We are sinners on the inside. Our characters are evil. But in spite of this plain fact, God treats us as though we are perfect on the inside.” Marvin Moore, Conquering the Dragon Within, p. 24.
b. “… I believe that specific behavior is often of less importance than whether my will is surrendered to God’s will. Because if my will is right, my behaviour will be right — even if it’s wrong!” Robert S. Folkenberg, We Still Believe, p. 44.

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...

Summary Conclusion on the Righteousness of God

It is true to say that the Righteousness of God is the Law of God proper, it is equally true to say that it is Christ’s perfect obedience to the Law, for Christ is God, and all His historical obedience was righteousness. To claim that all God’s salvific administration towards sinful humanity is the Righteousness of God is to be on target, for so also do the scriptures speak. But what is the Righteousness of God that is imputed to us? What is the Righteousness of God that is given to us in Justification and is our salvation? It is none of the Righteousness of God we have referred to above. What we are looking for is a Righteousness of God that is without the Law, that is, a Righteousness of God that is APART FROM the Law of works, a Righteousness of God that is DIFFERENT to the Ten Commandments, this is the Righteousness of God that we are given in Faith for our Justification and salvation. The scriptures of the First and Second Witnesses speak of this unique Righteousness whi...
