HOW THE SPIRIT CAUSES YOU TO BE FREE FROM SIN

How the Spirit causes sinfreeness in you by the the reveal truths- the faith.
Now when The Spirit dwell in you it is God dwelling in you.
1 John 4:12,13. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

Now we have evidence of the Spirit in us by Him functioning to give the reveal truths of Jesus to our mind as we meditate on the truth.
John 16:13-14
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he shall shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

John 14:26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

1 Cor.2:12,16 kjv
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God 16 For “who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ. Note again by the Spirit we have the mind of Christ or the revealed truths of Christ.

Jesus function is to reveal the Divine nature Love that we may dwell in Love who is God.
John 1:18 kjv
No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

John 17:6kjv
I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word (reveal truths).

John 17:26 kjv
And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

Thus the truths revealed by the Spirit (Reveal Truth = Faith) is the revelation of Christ or is the revelation of the Divine character that we may have an abiding experience of the Divine Nature - Love.
In this way the Spirit causes law keeping as the person abiding in the Divine nature Love do no ill to his neighbor (Rom.13:10). Furthermore the truths of Christ within the gospel cast down all false gods in the imaginatiion so that God alone is seen to be God (2Cor.10:4,5).
Rom.13:10
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

2 Cor.10:4-5
4 (For the weapons of our warfare (the gospel) are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

The reveal truths of the Holy Spirit is called faith, that faith Rom.1:16-17 explains as the power of God unto salavtion in the gospel. Romans 1:16-17 explains the power of salvation in the gospel is due to the Righteousness of God revealed out the Faith (Faith = the reveal truths of Christ). This is synonomous with the Divine Nature Love mentioned in the earlier part of this study. Romans 1:17 goes further to tell us the just/holy shall live by faith, which means the just or holy live holy by the faith - the reveal truths.
These thoughts also harmonize with 1 John 5:4, Rom.3:31, Psalms 119:11, John 8:32-34, James 2:18
1 John 5:4 kjv
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith (the reveal truths).

Rom.3:31 kjv
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Psalms 119:11 kjv
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

John 8:32-34 kjv
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

James 1:18 kjv 
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

Please pay careful attention to how the proper exegesis of the scripture allows for a multitude of scriptural thought connections. This is because it is the same God explaining Himself through Holy men of the bible in "sundry times and in divers manners" (Heb.1:1) showing Himself to be Love that we may dwell in Hiim who is Love when we believe the truth.

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...

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...

EGW QUOTE ON SINFUL NATURE

We are told that Jesus had our “sinful nature.” “He took upon Him our sinful nature.” Ellen G. White, Signs of the Times, 7/30/02. “In him was no guile nor sinfulness,….yet He took upon Him our sinful nature.” Ibid. From what we have just read, we see that the term “sinful nature” for Mrs. White does not mean that the person has sin for she says that Jesus was sinfree. But what does sinful nature mean that the person? A. It means human nature affected by sin not infected with  sin. B. It means human nature weakened by sin, but not resided by sin. C. This is the Mind, Emotions/Passions, Flesh and Experience weakened by sin, but not necessarily indwelt by sin. D. It is quite true that man’s sinful nature, a nature weakened by sin, in the average sinner may have sin in it. So sinful nature for the sinner in sin is a nature weakened by sin, but the man has sin in this nature. E. This means the man has sin in his Mind, Passions/Emotions, Experience, and sin in his flesh is sin in his Mi...
