SEE THE GC SDA QUARTERLY QUOTES WITHIN AND CONSIDER IF THAT IS WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES IN THIS POSTS AND OTHERS
IF YOU ARE A MAN OR WOMAN OF GOD PLEASE LET YOUR CONFESSION ON THIS MATTER BE KNOWN AMONG MEN AS IT IS REGISTERED IN THE COURTS OF HEAVEN
AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE WE SHALL SERVE THE LORD AND NOT MAN
The following is taken from the SABBATH SCHOOL BIBLE STUDY GUIDE of the 3rd Quarter of 2010 July, 17th.
“In this lesson we come to the basic theme of Romans: justification by faith. The phrase is a figure based on law. The transgressor of the law comes before a judge and is condemned to death for his transgressions. But a substitute appears and takes the transgressor’s crimes upon himself, thus clearing the criminal, who - by accepting the substitute- stands before the judge not only cleared of his guilt but regarded as never having committed the crimes for which he was first brought into court. And that’s because the substitute – who has a perfect record- offers the pardoned criminal his own perfect law-keeping. Thus, the guilty one stands before the judge as having never transgressed.”
“No one is saying that the person was innocent. On the contrary, his guilt is presumed. The good news is that, despite the guilt, he is pardoned. In the plan of salvation, each of us is the criminal. The substitute, Jesus, has a perfect record, and He stands in the court in our stead, His righteousness accepted in place of our unrighteousness. Hence, we are justified before God, not because of our works but because of Jesus, whose righteousness becomes ours when we accept it “by faith.” Hence the term “justification by faith.” No matter our past, when we accept Jesus we stand before God in His righteousness, the only righteousness that can save us.”
“Talk about good news! In fact, the news can’t get better than that.”
Adult Sabbath School Bible Study Guide 3rd Quarter 2001 Pacific Press Publishing Association, Editor “Clifford Goldstein” July 31st. I QUOTE “The bible does teach that there is going to be a judgment of everyone. The crucial difference, is that those who are in Christ have a Substitute who stands in their stead in the judgment, Someone who already paid the penalty for their sins. That’s why there’s no condemnation for them, either now or in the judgment. Talk about good news! “ September 7th of the same quarterly – “Summary: Though the pre-Advent judgment is a solemn, sacred process, those who follow Christ in penitence and faith, resting and trusting in Him, have nothing to fear. Jesus stands as their Substitute; His righteousness alone assures them of salvation, now and in judgment."
FIRST LET US READ THE SCRIPTURES:2.1 Revelation 20:12 tells us the dead were judged out of the things (records) written in the books according to their works not Christ works instead of ours. I quote “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS."
PROOF TEXT 2.2 Psalms 1:5 is very clear, I quote “Therefore THE UNGODLY SHALL NOT STAND IN THE JUDGMENT, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous." We must be righteous within not Christ in our stead.
PROOF TEXT 2.3 And Matt. 12:36,37 “ But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”
All these text show we must be righteous to pass in the judgement they could never be interpreted to mean Christ would replace us in the judgement that would be unscriptural and absurd.
1John 4:16 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, so are we in this world.
Now does these texts tell us that Jesus would stand in our place instead of us in the judgement.
