WHAT IS LOVE?

Love is the greatest of the three greats. 1 Cor. 13:13.
The fruit of the Spirit is love. Gal. 5:22.
Everyone that loveth is born of God. 1 Jn. 4:7,8.
God is love in His Divine Nature. 1 Jn. 4:8,16.
Love in the New Testament (S.W.) is never presented as a substitute for the Commandments or Law of God. Love is presented as the SAME as the Law of God or obedience to that Law. Rom. 13:8-10.
Love for God is keeping His Commandments. 1 Jn. 5:2,3.
If we love Jesus (who is God) we will keep His Commandments. Jn. 14:15.
Jesus’ commandments is “love one another” which is the same as keeping the Law of God. Jn. 15:12,10.
In fact, Jesus presented the whole Ten Commandments as love to God and love to man, He never presented Love as a substitute to the Law as some ministers claim, He presented love as the same as the Law. Mk. 12:29-31; Matt. 22:36-40.
But love as the Law is not a New Testament concept only, it in fact came from the Old Testament (F.W.). Observe love to God in the Old Testament. Deut. 6:4-6; Deut. 10:12,13.
Observe love to man in the Old Testament. Lev. 19:18; Deut. 10:19.
The very Ten Commandments in the Old Testament tells us that love for God is keeping the Law. Ex. 20:5,6.

The Old Testament tells us that love for God is keeping the Law of God. Deut. 11:1,22.
Those who say they love God and do not keep His Commandments are plain liars. 1 Jn. 2:3,4.
God dwells only in those who loves or keep the Law. 1 Jn. 4

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.
