1. Here is an account of the Evangelicals' false justification doctrine of begin justified and yet
remaining in sin.
"Like Paul, every true believer struggles with indwelling sin ... No believer is able to understand why he sins; it is a mystery beyond his reach ... The renewed man condemns himself, and justifies God, even while he confesses and mourns his inability to conform to the divine requisitions ... Every believer is assured of deliverance from indwelling sin through Christ Jesus, but not while living in this body of sin ... Paul looked for deliverance from indwelling sin but not while in the flesh, and neither can we." D. N. Steele, C. C. Thomas, Romans, An
Interpreted Outline, pg. 60,61.
2. The Sabbath is a fruit - sign of Sanctification. Ex. 31:13.
3. It is kept through the whole of its twenty-four hours being involved in keeping the Law, or
being sinless. Isa. 58:13; Isa. 56:2,4,6.
4. Keeping the Law means that we love God. Ex. 20:6; 1 Jn. 5: 3.
5. Justification gives us the spiritual mind. (Rom. 8:6; Rom. 5: 1).
6. When we are Justified the old man of sin is slain and the body of sins is inactivated (passions) so that we are separated from sin. Rom. 6:6,7,11.
7. Thus Justification separates us from sin or sanctifies us initially. (Tit. 3:5-7; 1 Jn. 3:9).
8. Also, It makes us keep the Law of works. Rom. 3:28,30,31.
9. And this is exactly what the keeping of the Sabbath day is all about. Ex. 35:1-3.
10. Thus Justification, by changing us, makes us love God or keep the Law which is the experience of keeping the seventh day Sabbath.
11. Whosoever therefore loves God through Justification will love to keep the Sabbath - day.
(Rom. 3:28,30,31; 1 Jn. 5:3; Ex. 31:13).
12. Thus it is sin that are in their lives that causes Evangelicals to not love sinfreeness , and thus not love to keep the Sabbath, but hate it.
