There are three types of perfections.

There are three types of perfections. 1 DIVINITY PERFECTION; that is perfection as being God or divine. 2 BODILY PERFECTION; this is receiving a new glorified body at the second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth 3.SINFREE PERFECTION; that is being free from sinning, so that no sin remains active in the converted person. We are not called to be God for this is impossible (Ezekiel 28:2,9; Isaiah 40: 15-17) When we are told to be perfect as heavenly Father, the context is perfection in Righteousness, exceeding the Pharisees and scribes. This is sinfree perfection. Matthew 5:20, 48 We are not called to bodily perfection now, but we are promised by God that we will receive a new body, one with holy flesh at the coming of Jesus Christ to the earth again. (1 Corinthians 15:42-44,53; 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17), . However, we are told to be sinfreely perfect right now while on the earth. Titus 2:11-14, 1Jn 2:1. Sinfree perfection that is freedom from the presence of sin within the life is given NOW in this life.john 8:34, 32,36, Rom 6:6,7 Perfect obedience to the Law of God is what is to be done now in this life. This is sinfree perfection James 2:8-12 Amen

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.

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 r...
