WHY TRUE PURPOSE IS FOUND IN CHRIST

1. The following is a definition of purpose:
A plan to fulfill an outlined pattern of knowledge that gives meaning and fulfillment to one’s existence. A designed plan given to a converted man by God for him to experience and fulfill.
2. The unconverted man is purposeless, he does not have a plan to live or fulfill in his existence. Rom. 3:10,12; Isa. 1: 4,5,11-16; Eccl. 1:2-10; Eccl. 2:11.
3. Adam was first given the Plan of dominion to live in which was our Spiritual self. Gen. 1:26.
4. When Adam sinned he was no longer able to fulfill that Plan, thus all his descendants, being born in his condition was born without a Plan to get purpose from. Rom. 5:17-19; Ps. 51:5; Eph. 2:1-3.
5. Jesus Christ taught that men needed to be born again. Jn. 3: 1-8.
6. The new birth, which is getting your born again self, is being placed into the kingdom of God, which is Righteousness. Jn. 3:3,5; Rom. 14:17.
7. Since Righteousness is found in the Gospel, the Kingdom of God which is that Righteousness, which we are brought into as the new birth, is in the Gospel, thus our born again self is in the Gospel of Christ. Rom. 1:16,17.
The Kingdom of God’s dear Son that we are taken into at the new birth is the Righteousness that is in Christ - the Gospel. Col. 1:13,14; Phil. 3:9; Rom. 1:16,17.
Thus true purpose is found in Jesus Christ the Plan of Salvation. Jn. 14:6; Jn. 1:4; Jn. 4:14; Eph. 1:10-12; Eph. 3:10, 11.

10. Why is true purpose found only in Jesus Christ?
a. Because He is the Creator. Jn. 1:10; Col. 1:16.
b. Because He alone is the Saviour. Acts. 4:10-12; 2 Pet. 1:1; Tit. 2:13,14; Matt. 1:23.
c. Because our Born Again self is created already in Christ. Eph. 2:10; Eph. 3:9,10.
d. Because Christ is the second Adam through whom we get our new self or purpose. 1Cor. 15:22,45-49.
11. Jesus Christ who is the Word makes us alive by His Word - self, thus gives us our Born Again self or purpose. Jn. 1:1,14; Ps. 119:50; Jam. 1:18; 1 Pet. 1:23; 2 Cor. 4:6,7.
12. Our true purpose or true self is revealed in certain tribal characteristics. Rev. 7:4-8.
13. Our Born Again self operates in certain ministerial functions - gifts of the Spirit. Eph. 4:7,8,11,12.
14. Our Born Again Self, operating in these ministerial functions has diversities. 1 Cor. 12:4-11.
15. Summary and chart.
a. Our purpose is the particular wisdom God wants each to be from in the Plan of Salvation. This purpose is the Born Again Self and is revealed in certain tribal traits, in various ministerial functions in different ways.
b. Purpose: Born Again Self.
c. Tribal Traits:
d. Spiritual Gifts: Ministerial functions.
e. Diversity Of Operations:

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

DID ELLEN G. WHITE EVER CALL THE S.D.A. CHURCH BABYLON IN ANY WAY? BY NYRON MEDINA

In the Bible is brought to view the following statement: “And after these things I  saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was  lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying,  Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all  nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the  earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are  waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 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,
