Follow Jesus in Sabbath keeping.

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. 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...
