THEFIRSTANGEL'SMESSAGE

"AndIsawanotherangelflyinthemidstofheaven,havingtheeverlastinggospeltopreachuntothemthatdwellonthe
earth,andtoeverynation,andkindred,andtongue,andpeople,sayingwithaloudvoice,FearGod,andgiveglorytoHim; forthehourofHisjudgmentiscome:andworshipHimthatmadeheaven,andearth,andthesea,andthefountainsof waters."Revelation14:67.

TheEverlastingGospelisthe"GoodNews"aboutJesusandtheplanofredemptionandsalvationfromsinthroughfaith
inJesusChristtheconnectinglinkbetweenGodandman(John14:6,Genesis28:1213).Thisgloriousgospeldeclaresthat wecanbefreelyjustifiedbeforeGod(Isaiah45:25,Romans3:28,Galatians2:16,Romans3:24,Titus3:7,1Corinthians 6:11,Romans5:9,3:4,Matthew12:37,Romans2:13,James3:2024),obtaingraceandstrengthtostand(Romans5:15, Ephesians6:1018,Galatians5:1),warringagainstandvictoriouslyovercomingalltemptationsandsins(Romans8:12) untorighteousness(Romans6:16,5:21)andcontinuedsanctificationthroughChristandHisHolySpirit(Jeremiah23:6, Isaiah61:10,1Thessalonians4:34,2Thessalonians2:13)whichstrengthenethus(Philippians4:13).Thisgospelisnot"all faith"or"allgrace"whichshutsoutourefforts,norisit"allworks"whichshutsoutJesus.Itistheunitingofdivinityand humanityGodworkingandusworkingforoursalvation(Phil2:1213,Rev22:14).

Severalquestionsareansweredbythisgospelmessage,suchas:
WhatisthePlanofRedemptionorSalvation?Itisthe"conditional"process(2T691,5T692,3T481,1T440,PP431, 7BC931)wherebyfallenhumanitycanbereconciledbacktoGod(PP331)bytheirworkingparticipationandunionwith God(AA482,6T372,Ev596,DA29697,4T464)inthekeepingofHislaws(1SM218,225,5T515),andinthesubduing ofeverysinintheirlifethroughtheforceoftheirwill(1SM82,DA311,SC15,PP248,MB61,5T513,Matthew11:12, 1BC109596)toreflectGod'srighteousnessandtovindicateHischaracterbeforeallpeoples(PP68).JesusChristmade possiblethisgloriousplanbybeingbornofavirgin,clothingHisdivinitywith,andbecomingonewithhumanity(DA363), takingman'sfallensinfulnatureuponHim(FE408,5T235,DA49,117,4BC1147,1RH140,3RH421,2SOP39),andthen engagingthestrongfoe'stemptationswiththeinwardpullinganddrawingtowardssin,butnevergivingintothis(5T177, 7BC929,Hebrews4:15,3ST264).ThiswasnecessaryinorderforChristtoexperienceandovercomethestrong temptationswithwhichSatantemptsfallenhumanity,andthusChristbrokeSatan'sholduponman(PK586),andprovided humanitywithaperfectexampleandpatternofhowtheycanalsoovercome(Revelation3:21,4T45,86,DA49,SD23, 7BC925,5BC1082,AA531,MH18081).

ChristneveronceusedHisowndivinepowerwhileonearth(4T45,CT27677,DA119,5BC1124),notevenforothers
(angelsdidthemiraclesDA143),butcompletelyworkedwithandrelieduponHisFatherforhelptoovercomethegreat temptationsandtosustainHiminHiswork(DA24,147,67475,Ed80,MYP58).ThusChristhadnoadvantageover humanity,andwecan,byunitingwithGodthroughChristbyfaith,exercisethesamepowerswhichChristhadinorderto liveapurespotlesslifeoutofloveforGod(DA24,664).Christbore,suffered,anddieduponthecruelcross,rosethethird day,andascendedtoheaventoministerasourHighPriestbeforeGodinsecuringforhumanitythechoicetoserveGodor Satan.Thusthe"humanityofChristmeanseverythingtous"(OHC48),becauseifChristdidnottakeonHimourfallen sinfulnature,buthadanunfallennaturelikeAdambeforethefalloroftheangels,thenHecouldnothavesufferedbybeing tempted,andwouldnotknowwhatyouorIaregoingthroughwhenwearetempted.ThusHecouldnotknowhowto succororhelpusoutofthetemptation!ButpraiseGodthisisnotthecase.Christdidhaveourfallensinfulnatureupon Him,andHedidsufferbybeingtempted.ThusHecanhelpusineverytimeofneed(Heb2:10,16,18,5:79,5T177).


Whatissin?"Sinisthetransgressionofthelaw"ofGod,orthetencommandments(1John3:4,2:7,Exodus20:117).

WhatisJustification?JustificationisthegiftfromGodoffullandcompletepardonfrompassedacknowledged, confessed,andforsakensins(Proverbs28:13,1John1:9,1SM391,6BC1071).Justificationismanifestedbythe transformationofcharacter(6BC1071),andisnotgivenorretainedwhiletransgressingGod'slaw(1SM213,366,James 2:24).Itisnot"oncejustified(saved)alwaysjustified(saved)!"

WhatisSanctification?Sanctificationisthecontinualgrowingingrace(7BC947)bydailystudyingGod'sword(1 Corinthians6:11,1Timothy4:5,John17:19)anddailydyingtoselfbyconformingtoGod'swill(4T299).Wemustkeep God'slawtoattainandmaintainsanctification(CH69,GC467,2T472).Thusitmeansperfectlove,perfectobedience, perfectconformitytoGod'swill(Isaiah5:16,1Thessalonians4:34,2Thessalonians2:13,AA565).

Whatdoesitmeanto"fearGod"?TofearGodmeanstolove(Deuteronomy10:12),reverence(Psalms89:7),trust(Psalms 115:11),serve(Joshua24:14,1Samuel12:14,24),hope(Psalms33:1822,147:11),keepHiscommandments(Deuteronomy 31:1213,17:19,5:29,Psalms112:1),anddepartfromevil(Proverbs3:7,16:6,2Chronicles19:7,Exodus20:20,Psalms 34:11,14,Job28:28,Proverbs8:13).

Whatdoesitmeanthat"thehourofHisjudgementiscome"?ThismeansthatthedayofGod'sjudgmenthadarrivedon October22,1844(Ev223,1SM125,5T692).ThosewhohavechosentoserveGodandcontinuedfaithfultoHimwouldbe judgedworthyofeverlastinglife(GC480,4T384),butthosewhochoosetorejectGodandHismeansofsalvation,andto continueinsin,wouldbejudgedunworthyofeverlastinglife(1Peter4:17,Romans2:59,GC48286,EW280).Allour sinsarebeingwrittendownintherecordbooksofheavenforthepurposeofthejudgment(Dan7:911,GC487,COL310), anditstartsfirstwiththedead,andthenwiththeliving(GC436,1SM125).Thejudgmentdoesnotfreeusfromsin,but awakensustotheurgencythattimeisshort,andthatwemustbedeliveredthroughJesusfromsin'sprisonhousebeforewe areindividuallyjudgedandcanstandinthejudgment(GC436),orwewillfaceeternaldestruction(Revelation20:1115).

Whatdoesitmeanto"worshipHim"?ToworshipGodmeansthatwehonor,serveandobeyGodandHimalone(Psalms 96:9,29:2,5:7,1Chronicles16:29,Matthew4:10,John4:2324),thatourspiritualallegianceistoGodandHimaloneand nottoanymanorchurchorgovernmentornationorpower(Acts5:29,Galatians1:10,Psalms118:6,89).
