MORE PROOF JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH IS TO BE MADE RIGHTEOUS WITHIN OR SINFREE WITHIN AND IS NOT A CREDITING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS TO AN EXTERNAL ACCOUNT IN HEAVEN

MORE PROOF JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH IS TO BE MADE RIGHTEOUS WITHIN OR SINFREE WITHIN AND IS NOT A CREDITING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS TO AN EXTERNAL ACCOUNT IN HEAVEN
Romans 5:1 tells us" being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." So we have peace with God when we are justified by faith. Now the bible tells us in Rom.8:6-7 "to be carnally minded is death, but to be Spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God neither indeed can be." So here we are told of two types of mind that a person can have, one in sinfulness and is at enmity against God and the other is not at enmity against God.Combining the knowledge given from Rom.5:1 the Spiritual mind that is peace and is not enmity against God in Rom.8:6 is the mind that has peace with God in Rom.5:1. This peace with God as oppose to the enmity with God is something man does not have before being quickened (See Eph.2:1-3 below) or justified by God. Thus it means that justification by faith is what gives a person the spiritual mind which is peace or non-enmity against God or have peace with God.
This shows justification is an internal work of God in making a person sinfree and is not a crediting of righteousness to an account.
Eph.2:1-3
1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins (carnal mind);
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others."

P.S. Please do not take for granted that those who teach falsehood do not give explanation like these, where precept is placed upon precept and line upon line. Letting Scripture explain itself by the grace of God. May you appreciate the truth and live the truth in Jesus Holy name. 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...

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...
