FAITH ESTABLISHES LAW KEEPING

STUDY CAREFULLY
Faith establishes law keeping in a person- Rom.3:31 & James 2:18,20. So Abraham's faith counted unto him by God for righteousness - Rom.4:3 must effect law keeping through righteousness placed in the heart of Abraham and not on an account outside of him. See texts mentioned above quoted below:
Rom.3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
James 2:18,20,12
8 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works (law keeping works is the context of the chapter): shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works (law keeping works).
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Verse 12 gives the context of the works in James 2:18,10. I quote: "So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty."

Rom.4:3
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

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,
