WHAT IT MEANS TO PREACH AND ACCEPT CHRIST AS SAVIOUR

1. We must indeed preach Christ: Acts 5:42; Acts 8:5; Rom. 16:25.
2. Christ was a historical person: Acts 10:36-42; 1 Tim. 6:13.
3. But we are not to preach how He looked in His physical features, they were not comely: Isa.
53:2.
4. To preach Christ we must take into consideration the following points.
a. Christ is the Saviour: Jn. 4:42; Acts 5:30, 31.
b. To preach Christ is to preach the knowledge that He is: 2 Pet. 3:18.
c. Christ is the Truth: Jn. 14:6.
d. To preach Christ is to preach the character of Christ which is the doctrine that Christ is: 2
Jn. 9, 10.
e. To preach Christ is to preach the gospel of Christ: Rom. 1:16; Rom. 15:19; 1 Cor. 9:12,
18; 2 Cor. 2:12.
f. This is the gospel about Christ Himself (It is about who He was/the Incarnation, and
what He did - the sacrificial crucifixion): 1 Cor. 1:23; (2 Cor. 4:5; 1 Cor. 1:18).
5. Thus to preach about Christ is not to preach about His physical being, it is to preach the Truths of
Christ or of His salvific Character: Acts 5:42; Acts 17:3; (Gal. 1:23; Gal. 2: 16); Tit. 1:3.
6. It logically follows, that to accept Christ therefore is to accept or believe the Gospel of Christ, or the
Truths of Christ's Character - the Plan of Salvation: 1 Jn. 5:9-11.
7. To accept Christ as Saviour means accepting the Truths that He is to change our way of sin into that
of obedience to the Law: (Rom. 10:8-10; Heb. 10:39: 1 Jn. 5:1-3).
8. It is only when we believe (or accept) this Gospel for a change of heart that we are justified: (Jn.
8:24; Acts 13:38, 39).

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...

DID ELLEN G. WHITE EVER CALL THE S.D.A. CHURCH BABYLON IN ANY WAY? BY NYRON MEDINA

In the Bible is brought to view the following statement: “And after these things I  saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was  lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying,  Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all  nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the  earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are  waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice  from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her  sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:1-4. Of this Scripture  we are told that it speaks about the Church, fallen because of sins. “In amazement  they [the people...

IMPUTED AND IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS EXPLAINED By Nyron Medina

IMPUTED AND IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS  EXPLAINED By Nyron Medina Statement of the case 1. Imputed and imparted righteousness are usually seen as different things in apostate  theology; they are presented as happening either successively or at the very same time,  but they are presented as two different salvific functions.  “In this most illuminating paragraph, the writer traces two distinct phases in the process  of our salvation—two complementary aspects of the plan of redemption—which are in a  certain sense successive, but at the same time simultaneous; two different operations of  the same righteousness of Christ, which alone can satisfy the demands of divine justice  and make saints of us. Let us analyze in outline form these two phases:  A. THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST BY WHICH WE ARE JUSTIFIED.  1. It is imputed to us, which is, credited, granted freely without our earning it.  2. It provides our r...
