Eternal-Life Exposited By Scripture

1 John 5:11-12 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. verse 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him ( the revealed truths that He is John 14:6) should not perish, but have everlasting life ( the revealed truths that He is John 14:6). Those who died with this everlasting life God will be raised them up in the first resurrection John 6:40
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth (understandeth) the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

(Note- when we repent and believe we are given life (the truths that Christ is) or we can say the faith of Christ,so we obtain the life, this is to be justified - See Acts 13:38,39 and compare with Rom. 5:18.
Therefore everlasting life -the truths that Christ is; that is needed for salvation.
The Spirit which is life (Rom.8:10) is God and God is eternal, therefore life is eternal. It is wrongly taught in Christendom that eternal life is eternal organic life or we can say the ability of the body to live forever. But this is wrong, the God given ability of the body to live forever is called immortality, the apostle clearly identified the two in 2 Tim 1:10 - But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. IN THE TEXT WE SEE THAT LIFE AND IMMORTALITY ARE DIFFERENT. The definition for life is given by the disciple in John 17:3 - And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. Jesus Christ reveals God - See Jn 1:18, so we can say that LIFE IS A KNOWLEDGE OF GOD AS HE IS REVEALED THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

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,

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 right to heaven. It is the only merit we can claim.
