SALVATION MUST BE MAINTAINED MOMENT BY MOMENT BY CONTINUALLY VALUING THE TRUTH BY FAITH -EVIDENCES OF REVEALED TRUTH CONVINCING THE MIND TO GLORY AND ESTEEM GOD ABOVE EARTHLY PLEASURE IN WHATEVER FORM IT MAY COME.

God only dwells in our mind as Love when we choose to have the Love revealing truth in the mind. This means to maintain God in the mind we must maintain our choice by maintaining a valuing of the truth. This valuing of the truth is obtained initially by God reasoning with man. God then by Divine power roots the truth in the mind as the person's experience when they believe. Hence it is written in Isaiah 1:18
"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
And because the salvation experience must be consciously maintained to be saved in the context of the blotting out of the record of sins in the investigative judgement it is written in Matt.24:13
"But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."
And in Acts 3:19
"Repent ye therefore, and be converted (transformative aspect of salvation), that your sins may be blotted out (forensic aspect in passing in the investigative judgement), when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.

Psalms 1:5
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

This is why baby is not born holy, righteous and with God as its ideal value because it has not reached the age of reason to reason out and know right from wrong, and to make a choice for the right, that God as Love could be valued in their mind to keep God in their mind by valuing Him. This would be manifested if it were possible by long-suffering and
patience when not yet fed.

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...
