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.)

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.
