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...

IMPUTED AND IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS EXPLAINED By Nyron Medina

IMPUTED AND IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS  EXPLAINED By Nyron Medina Statement of the case 1. Imputed and imparted righteousness are usually seen as different things in apostate  theology; they are presented as happening either successively or at the very same time,  but they are presented as two different salvific functions.  “In this most illuminating paragraph, the writer traces two distinct phases in the process  of our salvation—two complementary aspects of the plan of redemption—which are in a  certain sense successive, but at the same time simultaneous; two different operations of  the same righteousness of Christ, which alone can satisfy the demands of divine justice  and make saints of us. Let us analyze in outline form these two phases:  A. THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST BY WHICH WE ARE JUSTIFIED.  1. It is imputed to us, which is, credited, granted freely without our earning it.  2. It provides our r...

EGW QUOTE ON SINFUL NATURE

We are told that Jesus had our “sinful nature.” “He took upon Him our sinful nature.” Ellen G. White, Signs of the Times, 7/30/02. “In him was no guile nor sinfulness,….yet He took upon Him our sinful nature.” Ibid. From what we have just read, we see that the term “sinful nature” for Mrs. White does not mean that the person has sin for she says that Jesus was sinfree. But what does sinful nature mean that the person? A. It means human nature affected by sin not infected with  sin. B. It means human nature weakened by sin, but not resided by sin. C. This is the Mind, Emotions/Passions, Flesh and Experience weakened by sin, but not necessarily indwelt by sin. D. It is quite true that man’s sinful nature, a nature weakened by sin, in the average sinner may have sin in it. So sinful nature for the sinner in sin is a nature weakened by sin, but the man has sin in this nature. E. This means the man has sin in his Mind, Passions/Emotions, Experience, and sin in his flesh is sin in his Mi...
