Sabbath keeping is to be done by the clean of heart

Sabbath keeping is to be done by the clean of heart - Spiritual Jews Ps.73:1. The physical Jews failed to do this.
If the heart is absent of faith, judgement mercy & love you are not keeping the Sabbath. Sabbath keeping is first holiness within that there be holiness without. Hence Jesus told the Jews cleanse first the inside the cup and the platter that the outside of them will be clean. See Matt.23:26 & Matt.23:23 & Luke 11:42. And in Isaiah chapter 1 God said he hated their feast even the solemn meeting because their heart was sinfully sick (Isaiah 1:5,13) and he desired they come and reason with Him that their sins though they be as scarlet shall be white as snow (Isaiah 1:18).
Isaiah 1:5,13
5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

Heb 3 and 4 shows the physical Jews did not enter into Sabbath keeping rest because they did it not by faith (Heb.4:2) but to the people of God, who are Spiritual Jews is left a Sabbath keeping to be done by the faith of the gospel (Heb.4:6,9).
Heb.4:2
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

Heb.4:6
Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

The gospel with the Sabbath rest is now secondly preached to us to enter therein. Why? Heb. 4:9 tells us: "9 There remaineth therefore a Sabbath keeping (Gk. Sabbatismos) to the people of God."
So dear brethren Sabbath keeping is to be kept by Spiritual Jews those who are of a clean heart - Psalm 73:1.

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 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,

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 right to heaven. It is the only merit we can claim.
