JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH IS NOT A DECLARATION

Justification by faith does not mean God considers you or declares you just or righteous simply because you trust in Him to see you as righteous though you are sinful within.No justification is God actually making a penitent sinner pure and righteous within by esteeming or imputing righteousness to the person by the Faith of Jesus which is the revealed truths of Christ (the revealed truths being the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Heb.11:1). Trust is not the substance of the things hoped for, neither is it the evidence of things not seen. No it is the reveal word that is the substance of things hoped for. What is the substance or foundation or the basis upon which you are hoping for heaven?. It is the revealed word or truth that is the basis or substance upon which you hope for heaven, this we see was the substance or basis upon which Abraham looked for a city which hath foundations,whose builder and maker is God (Heb.11:10). That revealed word is revealed by the Holy Spirit when God's word comes to us. And since what the Holy Spirit reveals is actually from Jesus, the faith is referred to as the faith of Jesus. And this is the intelligent faith Sis White tells us of. It is unintelligent to think we are saved by the trusting or believing of Jesus it is we that are to trust or believe what Jesus through the Holy Spirit reveals to us, it is also unreasonable to be just trusting for things that God never give evidence in His word we are to hope for. When the reveal word comes to us - the faith - we are to believe, we are to trust that which is revealed to us by the Holy Spirit, lest we commit the unpardonable sin of grieving the Holy Spirit.)

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.
