O HAVE A BLESSED AND SANCTIFIED SABBATH ALL PEOPLE OF GOD

O HAVE A BLESSED AND SANCTIFIED SABBATH ALL PEOPLE OF GOD
Evangelicals, come let us reason together Jesus says, though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow. Give yourself a chance and follow Jesus in Sabbath keeping.
The fourth commandment clearly show forth the Sabbath is for all men. The reason is given of why to keep the Sabbath is therein. It tells us to keep the Sabbath for in six days Yahweh made the heaven and earth the sea and all that in them is, and rested on the Seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it. This knowledge shows we owe it to God (who is Love) to worship Him and give glory, honor and service to Him in all we do, since it is He who created us and all we enjoy. Thus how could the Sabbath knowledge be only for the Jews when the reason given for Sabbath keeping pertains to all men. In fact our own elders in heaven worship God based on that same knowledge reason given in the fourth commandment of Exodus 20:8-11, I quote Revelation 4:10-11 as regards our elders in heaven:
"10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."
This is why Jesus said in Mark 2:27 the Sabbath was made for man"
Thus indeed there remaineth a Sabbath keeping for man as we are told in Hebrews 4: 9-10. I quote:
"9 There remaineth therefore a Sabbath keeping (Greek - Sabbatismos translated rest in the kjv) to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his."

The people of God to whom remaineth a Sabbath keeping is us, remember what Paul said in quoting Hosea in Rom.9:25, I quote:
"As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved."
Paul later in verse 30-31 shows clearly it is us gentiles or non-Jews that Paul speaks of as the people of God, I quote:
"30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness."

Thus we are the people of God to whom there remaineth a Sabbath keeping.
To the Evangelicals I explain these things in the Love of God to you that your experience in heart would be that of those who are sanctified and made holy by the Lord (Ezek.20:12), and whose inner sanctified state would be manifested in the keeping of the commandments of God as a delight (Isaiah 58:13).

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.

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...
