SUBJECTIVE JUSTIFICATION

SUBJECTIVE JUSTIFICATION
12. The following scripture shows Justification to be a subjective change. Num. 6:24-27. 
i. The word “bless” is the blessing of Justification by Faith or the gift of the Spirit in the heart. (Num. 6:24, 27; Gal. 3:7-9, 14; Gal. 4:6).
ii. “The Lord make His face to shine upon thee” is conviction given by the Holy Spirit. 
(Num. 6:25; 2 Cor. 4:6; Jn. 4:26; Jn. 15:26).
iii. The words that says the Lord “give thee peace”, means the carnal mind is replaced 
by the spiritual mind through Justification by Faith. (Num. 6:26; Rom. 8:6; Rom. 5:1).
iv. Even the words “be gracious unto thee” (grant thee charism) means Justification by 
Grace. (Num. 6:25; Rom. 3:24).

13. Justification is again shown to be a subjective change. Deut. 6:4-6.
i. We can only love the Lord with the heart by keeping the law of God, but the law 
could only be kept when we are first justified. (Deut. 6:4, 5; 1 Jn. 4:20, 21; 1 Jn. 5:2, 
3; Ex. 20:6; Rom. 3:28-31). 
ii. The claim that the “words . . . shall be in thine heart” can only be when we are 
justified by the knowledge of Christ. (Deut. 6:6; Isa. 53:11).

14. Justification is seen to be subjective in that to keep the commandments of God one has to 
first be justified, because he that doeth Righteousness is righteous. (Deut. 8:5, 6; Rom. 3:28-
31; 1 Jn. 3:7).

15. Justification is seen to be subjective in that circumcision is a symbol of a change of heart as 
Justification. (Deut. 10:16; Col. 2:11, 13; Rom. 4:11).

16. Justification is seen to be subjective in that to love God one must be born of God by the 
word, which justifies. (Deut. 11:1, 22; 1 Jn. 4:7; Jam. 1:18; Isa. 53:11).

17. Justification is seen to be subjective because to keep the commandments of God, which is 
to love God, one first has to be justified by faith. (Deut. 13:4; 1 Jn. 5:3; Rom. 3:28-31).

18. Justification is seen to be subjective in all these texts. Deut. 30:6, 8,14,19,20. 
i. Circumcision of the mind to cause love to God is the old spirit or experience being 
replaced with a new experience (that causes love to God), this happens in those who 
are justified, of course of which physical circumcision is a symbol. (Deut. 30:6; Col. 
2:11-13; Rom. 2:28, 29; Rom. 4:11). 
ii. We can only do God’s commandments; when we are justified, thus we are changed. 
(Deut. 30:8; Rom. 3:28-31; 1 Jn. 3:7). 
iii. The word in our hearts, make us do the law because the word, in justifying us, 
makes us subjectively righteous. (Deut. 30:14; Isa. 53:11; 1 Jn. 3:7). 
iv. To choose the gift of life that one can love God will cause God to give eternal life 
within through the Justification of life, which is being spiritually minded. (Deut. 
30:19, 20; Rom. 6:23; Rom. 5:18; 1 Jn. 3:15; Rom. 8:6).

19. Justification is seen to be subjective in that, for the words of the law, even the words of life to be set unto (in) the heart, it must come by getting the spiritual mind through the 
Justification of life. (Deut. 32:46,47; Jn. 6:63; Rom. 8:2,4,6; Rom. 5:1,18).

20. Justification is seen to be subjective in that to become a spiritual Jew is to be circumcised in the heart in the experience, getting a pure heart, and circumcision represents Justification by Faith. (Ester 8:17; Deut. 30:6; Ps. 73:1; Rom. 2:28, 29; Rom. 4:11).
21. Justification is seen to be subjective in that God ordains or sets peace for us by giving unto 
us the spiritual mind through Justification by Faith. (Isa. 26:12; Rom. 8:6; Rom. 5:1).

22. Justification is seen to be subjective in that, to be justified by knowledge from Christ is to 
awake to Righteousness or awake to God in the knowledge in the mind which God has 
shined there, this means we are new in our thinking or have a new man renewed by this 
knowledge that has caused us to be begotten. (Isa. 53:11; 1 Cor. 15:34; Rom. 1:28; 2 Cor. 
4:6, 7; Col. 3:10; Jam. 1:18).

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. The efficacy of the blood of Christ was to be presented to the people with freshness and power.” — TM p. 92. 4. “This is the very work which the Lord designs that the message He has given His servants, shall perform in the heart and mind of every human agent….God gave to His messengers just what the people needed.” — TM p. 95. 5. “The Lord would have these grand themes studied in our churches, and if every church member shall give entrance to the word of God it will give light and...

Summary Conclusion on the Righteousness of God

It is true to say that the Righteousness of God is the Law of God proper, it is equally true to say that it is Christ’s perfect obedience to the Law, for Christ is God, and all His historical obedience was righteousness. To claim that all God’s salvific administration towards sinful humanity is the Righteousness of God is to be on target, for so also do the scriptures speak. But what is the Righteousness of God that is imputed to us? What is the Righteousness of God that is given to us in Justification and is our salvation? It is none of the Righteousness of God we have referred to above. What we are looking for is a Righteousness of God that is without the Law, that is, a Righteousness of God that is APART FROM the Law of works, a Righteousness of God that is DIFFERENT to the Ten Commandments, this is the Righteousness of God that we are given in Faith for our Justification and salvation. The scriptures of the First and Second Witnesses speak of this unique Righteousness whi...
