God’s warning of mercy

The Lord requires His people to use their reason, and not lay it aside for impressions. His work will be intelligible
to all His children. His teaching will be such as will commend itself to the understanding of intelligent minds. It is
calculated to elevate the mind. God's power is not manifested upon every occasion. Man's necessity is God's
opportunity. . 1T 230.2

Deuteronomy 8:19 KJV

[19] And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and
worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.

Revelation 5:13-14 KJV

[13] And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea,
and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon
the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. [14] And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty
elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.

1 John 2:22-25 KJV

[22] Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the
Son. [23] Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath
the Father also. [24] Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye
have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. [25] And
this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

John 17:3 KJV

[3] And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

John 17:20-21 KJV

[20] Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; [21] That they
all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may
believe that thou hast sent me.

Matthew 10:32-33 KJV

[32] Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in
heaven. [33] But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 10:40 KJV

[40] He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
Revelation 3:5 KJV
[5] He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the
book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

1 John 4:12-15 KJV

[12] No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in
us. [13] Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. [14] And we
have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. [15] Whosoever shall
confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

1 John 5:1 KJV

[1] Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth
him also that is begotten of him.

1 John 5:5-7 KJV

[5] Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? [6] This is he that
came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that
beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. [7] For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the
Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Note- See below passage relating to the above verse

The personality of the Father and the Son, also the unity that exists between Them, are presented in the
seventeenth chapter of John, in the prayer of Christ for His disciples:
“Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on Me through their word; that they all may
be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us: that the world may believe that
Thou hast sent Me.” John 17:20, 21.
The unity that exists between Christ and His disciples does not destroy the personality of either. They are one in
purpose, in mind, in character, but not in person. It is thus that God and Christ are one. . MH 421.7-MH 422.1

Let the brightest example the world has yet seen be your example, rather than the greatest and most learned
men of the age, who know not God, nor Jesus Christ whom he has sent. The Father and the Son alone are to be
exalted. . YI July 7, 1898, par. 2

Matthew 3:1-3 KJV

[1] In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, [2] And saying, Repent ye: for
the kingdom of heaven is at hand. [3] For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice
of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

John 1:19-23 KJV

[19] And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art
thou? [20] And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. [21] And they asked him, What
then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. [22] Then said they
unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? [23] He
said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet
Esaias.

Isaiah 40:3 KJV

[3] The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a
highway for our God.

As we partake of the divine nature, hereditary and cultivated tendencies to wrong are cut away from the
character, and we are made a living power for good. Ever learning of the divine Teacher, daily partaking of His

one with Christ as Christ is one with God. Then we sit together with Christ in heavenly places. The mind rests

The Sovereign of the universe was not alone in His work of beneficence. He had an associate—a co-worker who
could appreciate His purposes, and could share His joy in giving happiness to created beings. “In the beginning
was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.”
John 1:1, 2. Christ, the Word, the only begotten of God, was one with the eternal Father—one in nature, in
character, in purpose—the only being that could enter into all the counsels and purposes of God. “His name shall
be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6. His
“goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” Micah 5:2. And the Son of God declares concerning
Himself: “The Lord possessed Me in the beginning of His way, before His works of old. I was set up from
everlasting.... When He appointed the foundations of the earth: then I was by Him, as one brought up with Him:
and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him.” Proverbs 8:22-30.
The Father wrought by His Son in the creation of all heavenly beings. “By Him were all things created, ... whether
they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him.”
Colossians 1:16. Angels are God's ministers, radiant with the light ever flowing from His presence and speeding
on rapid wing to execute His will. But the Son, the anointed of God, the “express image of His person,” “the
brightness of His glory,” “upholding all things by the word of His power,” holds supremacy over them all. Hebrews
1:3. “A glorious high throne from the beginning,” was the place of His sanctuary (Jeremiah 17:12); “a scepter of
righteousness,” the scepter of His kingdom. Hebrews 1:8. “Honor and majesty are before Him: strength and
beauty are in His sanctuary.” Psalm 96:6. Mercy and truth go before His face. Psalm 89:14. . PP 34.1-PP 34.2

The King of the universe summoned the heavenly hosts before Him, that in their presence He might set forth the
true position of His Son and show the relation He sustained to all created beings. The Son of God shared the
Father's throne, and the glory of the eternal, self-existent One encircled both. About the throne gathered the holy
angels, a vast, unnumbered throng—“ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands” (Revelation
5:11.), the most exalted angels, as ministers and subjects, rejoicing in the light that fell upon them from the
presence of the Deity. Before the assembled inhabitants of heaven the King declared that none but Christ, the
Only Begotten of God, could fully enter into His purposes, and to Him it was committed to execute the mighty
counsels of His will. The Son of God had wrought the Father's will in the creation of all the hosts of heaven; and
to Him, as well as to God, their homage and allegiance were due. Christ was still to exercise divine power, in the
creation of the earth and its inhabitants. But in all this He would not seek power or exaltation for Himself contrary
to God's plan, but would exalt the Father's glory and execute His purposes of beneficence and love. . PP 36.2

The great Creator assembled the heavenly host, that He might in the presence of all the angels confer special
honor upon His Son. The Son was seated on the throne with the Father, and the heavenly throng of holy angels
was gathered around them. The Father then made known that it was ordained by Himself that Christ, His Son,
should be equal with Himself; so that wherever was the presence of His Son, it was as His own presence. The
word of the Son was to be obeyed as readily as the word of the Father. His Son He had invested with authority to
command the heavenly host. Especially was His Son to work in union with Himself in the anticipated creation of
the earth and every living thing that should exist upon the earth. His Son would carry out His will and His
purposes but would do nothing of Himself alone. The Father's will would be fulfilled in Him. . SR 13.2 (The story
of redemption)

“Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to
make intercession for them.” Hebrews 7:25. *Though the ministration was to be removed from the earthly to the
heavenly temple; though the sanctuary and our great high priest would be invisible to human sight, yet the
disciples were to suffer no loss thereby.*

*They would realize no break in their communion, and no diminution of power because of the Saviour's
absence.*

*While Jesus ministers in the sanctuary above, He is still by His Spirit the minister of the church on earth*. He is
withdrawn from the eye of sense, but His parting promise is fulfilled, “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end

with His church*. . DA 166.1-DA 166.2

He was the brightness of the Father's glory, the express image of His person. MM 19.1 (Medical Ministry)

Christ was God essentially, and in the highest sense. He was with God from all eternity, God over all, blessed
forevermore. . RH April 5, 1906, par. 6

I and my Father are one.” The words of Christ were full of deep meaning as he put forth the claim that he and the
Father were of one substance, possessing the same attributes.. ST November 27, 1893, par. 5 (The Signs of the
Times)

The Son of God was next in authority to the great Lawgiver. He knew that His life alone could be sufficient to
ransom fallen man. He was of as much more value than man as His noble, spotless character, and exalted office
as commander of all the heavenly host were above the work of man. He was in the express image of His Father,
not in features alone, but in perfection of character. . LHU 24.2 (Lift Him Up)

He permitted him to leave the bosom of his love, the adoration of the angels, to suffer shame, insult, humiliation,
hatred, and death. RH February 28, 1888, par. 2

This Saviour was the brightness of His Father's glory and the express image of His person. He possessed divine
majesty, perfection, and excellence. He was equal with God. “It pleased the Father that in him should all fulness
dwell” (Colossians 1:19).... . AG 160.2 (God’s Amazing Grace)

God is the Father of Christ; Christ is the Son of God. To Christ has been given an exalted position. He has been
made equal with the Father. All the counsels of God are opened to His Son. . CCh 76.5 (counsels for the church)
From eternity there was a complete unity between the Father and the Son. They were two, yet little short of being
identical; two in individuality, yet one in spirit, and heart, and character.. YI December 16, 1897, par. 5

Every one who transgresses the laws of health will surely be visited with God's displeasure. Oh, how much of the
Holy Spirit we might have day by day, if we would walk circumspectly, denying self, and practicing the virtues of
Christ's character. . TSDF 79.9

Christ volunteered to lay aside His royal robe and kingly crown, and come to this earth to show to human beings
what they may be in cooperation with God. He came to shine amidst the darkness, to dispel the darkness by the
brightness of His presence....
The Father and the Son in consultation decided that Christ must come to the world as a babe, and live the life
that human beings must live from childhood to manhood, bearing the trials that they must bear, and at the same
time living a sinless life, that men might see in Him an example of what they can become, and that He might
know by experience how to help them in their struggles with sin. He was tried as man is tried, tempted as man is
tempted. The life that He lived in this world, men can live, through His power and under His instruction.... . RC

Christ came to the earth, taking humanity and standing as man's representative, to show in the controversy with
Satan that man, as God created him, connected with the Father and the Son, could obey every divine
requirement. Speaking through His servant He declares, “His commandments are not grievous” (1 John 5:3). It
was sin that separated man from his God, and it is sin that maintains this separation. . 1SM 253.4

No Destruction of Personality—Christ is one with the Father, but Christ and God are two distinct personages.
Read the prayer of Christ in the seventeenth chapter of John, and you will find this point clearly brought out. How
earnestly the Saviour prayed that His disciples might be one with Him as He is one with the Father. But the unity
that is to exist between Christ and His followers does not destroy the personality of either. They are to be one
with Him as He is one with the Father (The Review and Herald, June 1, 1905). . 5BC 1148.2

And the years of eternity, as they roll, will bring richer and still more glorious revelations of God and of Christ. TA
299.1

The Sovereign of the universe was not alone in His work of beneficence. He had an associate—a co-worker who
could appreciate His purposes, and could share His joy in giving happiness to created beings. “In the beginning
was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.”
John 1:1, 2. Christ, the Word, the only begotten of God, was one with the eternal Father—one in nature, in
character, in purpose—the only being that could enter into all the counsels and purposes of God. “His name shall
be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6. His
“goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” Micah 5:2. And the Son of God declares concerning
Himself: “The Lord possessed Me in the beginning of His way, before His works of old. I was set up from
everlasting.... When He appointed the foundations of the earth: then I was by Him, as one brought up with Him:
and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him.” Proverbs 8:22-30.
The Father wrought by His Son in the creation of all heavenly beings. “By Him were all things created, ... whether
they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him.”
Colossians 1:16. Angels are God's ministers, radiant with the light ever flowing from His presence and speeding
on rapid wing to execute His will. But the Son, the anointed of God, the “express image of His person,” “the
brightness of His glory,” “upholding all things by the word of His power,” holds supremacy over them all. Hebrews
1:3. “A glorious high throne from the beginning,” was the place of His sanctuary (Jeremiah 17:12); “a scepter of
righteousness,” the scepter of His kingdom. Hebrews 1:8. “Honor and majesty are before Him: strength and
beauty are in His sanctuary.” Psalm 96:6. Mercy and truth go before His face. Psalm 89:14. . PP 34.1-PP 34.2

But the Son of God, who had in unison with the Father created man, could make an atonement for man
acceptable to God.... . TA 60.5

7. Giving Glory to God—To give glory to God is to reveal His character in our own, and thus make Him known.
And in whatever way we make known the athe Son, we glorify God (Manuscript 16, 1890). . 7BC 979.4

God and Christ and the heavenly host were John's companions on the Isle of Patmos. 7BC 954.6

In the beginning the Father and the Son had rested upon the Sabbath after Their work of creation. DA 769.2

Heaven and earth will unite in praise, as “from one Sabbath to another” (Isaiah 66:23) the nations of the saved
shall bow in joyful worship to God and the Lamb. DA 769.2

We shall be judged according to the light we have had, according to the privileges we have been granted,
according to the opportunity we have had to hear and understand the word of God. These privileges have been
given us through an infinite cost to the Father and the Son. The plan of redemption has been devised and carried
out so far through the sacrifice of all heaven, and the gift of the Holy Spirit has been provided, that the divine may
unite with the human, and man be elevated in moral and spiritual worth.. YI June 15, 1893, par. 1

From eternity there was a complete unity between the Father and the Son. They were two, yet little short of being
identical; two in individuality, yet one in spirit, and heart, and character.. YI December 16, 1897, par. 5

And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.” “And he
went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them.” “And Jesus increased in wisdom and
stature, and in favor with God and man.” Let the brightest example the world has yet seen be your example,
rather than the greatest and most learned men of the age, who know not God, nor Jesus Christ whom he has
sent. The Father and the Son alone are to be exalted.. YI July 7, 1898, par. 2

John 5:23-24 KJV

[23] That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son
honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. [24] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and
believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from
death unto life.

Christ the Word, the Only Begotten of God, was one with the eternal Father,—one in nature, in character, and in
purpose,—the only being in all the universe that could enter into all the counsels and purposes of God. By Christ
the Father wrought in the creation of all heavenly beings. “By Him were all things created, that are in heaven, ...
whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers” (Colossians 1:16); and to Christ, equally with
the Father, all heaven gave allegiance. . GC 493.1

I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.” Y:22. The people of God
are privileged to hold open communion with the Father and the Son. “Now we see through a glass, darkly.” 1
Corinthians 13:12. We behold the image of God reflected, as in a mirror, in the works of nature and in His
dealings with men; but then we shall see Him face to face, without a dimming veil between. We shall stand in His
presence and behold the glory of His countenance. . GC 676.4

Having engaged in the work, the amazing work of our redemption, Christ determined in council with His Father to
spare nothing, however costly, to withhold nothing however highly it might be estimated, that would rescue the
poor sinner. He would give all heaven to this work of salvation, of restoring the moral image of God in man.... To
be a child of God is to be one with Christ in God, and to put forth our hands in earnest, self-sacrificing love to
strengthen and bless the souls that are perishing in their sins. OFC 34.1

Notwithstanding this special direction of God, some did go out to gather manna on the seventh day, but they
found none; and the Lord said unto Moses, “How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?” That
there might be no mistake in the matter, the Father and the Son descended upon Mount Sinai, and there the
precepts of His law were spoken in awful grandeur in the hearing of all Israel.—Manuscript 3, 1885. . CTr 109.6

Adam and Eve assured the angels that they should never transgress the express command of God, for it was
their highest pleasure to do His will. The angels united with Adam and Eve in holy strains of harmonious music,
and as their songs pealed forth from blissful Eden, Satan heard the sound of their strains of joyful adoration to the
Father and Son. And as Satan heard it his envy, hatred, and malignity increased, and he expressed his anxiety to
his followers to incite them (Adam and Eve) to disobedience and at once bring down the wrath of God upon them
and change their songs of praise to hatred and curses to their Maker (The Story of Redemption, 24-31). . LHU
20.7-LHU 20.8

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.... So God created man in his own image, in the
image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Genesis 1:26, 27.
After the earth was created, and the beasts upon it, the Father and Son carried out their purpose, which was
designed before the fall of Satan, to make man in their own image. They had wrought together in the creation of
the earth and every living thing upon it. And now God said to His Son, “Let us make man in our image.” 13 .
TMK 13.1-TMK 13.2

With what intense interest the whole universe watched the conflict that was to decide the position of Adam and
Eve. How attentively the angels listened to the words of Satan, the originator of sin, as he ... sought to make of
none effect the law of God through his deceptive reasoning! How anxiously they waited to see if the holy pair
would be deluded by the tempter, and yield to his arts! They asked themselves, Will the holy pair transfer their
faith and love from the Father and Son to Satan? Will they accept his falsehoods as truth? 17 . TMK 14.5

6. Mildest Test Given—With what intense interest the whole universe watched the conflict that was to decide the
position of Adam and Eve. How attentively the angels listened to the words of Satan, the originator of sin, as he
placed his own ideas above the commands of God, and sought to make of none effect the law of God through his
deceptive reasoning! How anxiously they waited to see if the holy pair would be deluded by the tempter, and yield
to his arts! They asked themselves, Will the holy pair transfer their faith and love from the Father and Son to
Satan? Will they accept his falsehoods as truth? They knew that they might refrain from taking the fruit, and obey
the positive injunction of God, or they might violate the express command of their Creator. . 1BC 1083.3
Even as Christ was in the world, so are His followers. They are the sons of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; and
the kingdom and dominion belong to them. The world understand not their character and holy calling; they
perceive not their adoption into the family of God. Their union and fellowship with the Father and Son is not
manifest, and while the world behold their humiliation and reproach, it does not appear what they are, or what
they shall be. They are strangers. The world know them not, and appreciate not the motives which actuate them.
—Testimonies for the Church 1:286. . WGD 79.4 (with God at dawn)

The inhabitants of all worlds will be convinced of the justice of the law in the overthrow of rebellion and the
eradication of sin.... The working out of the plan of salvation reveals not only to men but to angels, the character
of God, and through the ages of eternity the malignant character of sin will be understood by the cost to the
Father and the Son of the redemption of a rebel race. In Christ, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world,
all worlds will behold the marks of the curse, and angels as well as men will ascribe honor and glory to the
Redeemer through whom they are all made secure from apostasy. . TA 296.1

2 John 1:9 KJV

[9] Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the
doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

Ephesians 3:9 KJV

[9] And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath
been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

Ephesians 3:14 KJV

[14] For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

The Millennial Judgment

During the thousand years between the first and the second resurrection, the judgment of the wicked takes place.
Daniel declares that when the Ancient of days came, “judgment was given to the saints of the Most High.” At this
time the righteous reign as kings and priests unto God. John in the Revelation says, “I saw thrones, and they sat
upon them, and judgment was given unto them.” “They shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with
him a thousand years.” It is at this time that, as foretold by Paul, “the saints shall judge the world.” In union with
Christ they judge the wicked, comparing their acts with the statute book, the Bible, and deciding every case
according to the deeds done in the body. Satan also and evil angels are judged by Christ and His people.—The
Southern Watchman, March 14, 1905. . TA 287-TA 287.4

The Father and the Son began the mighty, wonderful work they had planned—of creating the world. The earth
came forth from the hand of the Creator astonishingly beautiful. There were mountains and hills and plains,
interspersed with rivers and bodies of water. The earth was not one extensive plain, but the sameness of the
scenery was broken by hills and mountains, not high and ragged as they are now, but regular and beautiful in
shape. The bare, high rocks were never visible on them, but lay beneath the surface, like bones to the earth.
The waters were evenly dispersed. The hills, mountains, and very beautiful plains were adorned with plants and
flowers and tall, majestic trees of every description, which were many times larger and much more beautiful than
trees are today. The air was pure and healthful, and the earth seemed like a noble palace. Angels saw this and
rejoiced at the wonderful, beautiful works of God.
After they created the earth and the animals on it, the Father and Son carried out their intention, planned before
the fall of Satan, to make human beings in their own image. They had worked together in the creation of the earth
and every living thing upon it. And now God said to His Son, “Let us make man in our image.” SH 10-SH 10.3

Revelation 14:7 KJV

[7] Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship
him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

Side note:
(This passage says that to worship the Creator which means to worship the Father and the Son. So simple to
understand who is the creator from the above texts)
Revelation 7:17 KJV
[17] For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of
waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Revelation 15:3 KJV

[3] And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous
are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

Revelation 21:22-23 KJV

[22] And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. [23] And the city
had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the
light thereof.

Revelation 22:1,3 KJV

[1] And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the
Lamb. [3] And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants
shall serve him:

With the Father at Sinai—When they [Israel] came to Sinai, He took occasion to refresh their minds in regard to
His requirements. Christ and the Father, standing side by side upon the mount, with solemn majesty proclaimed
the Ten Commandments.—Historical Sketches, p. 231. (1866).. Ev 616.3

Side NOTE: read the whole chapter of John

———————————

If persons are as deserving of being separated from the church as Satan was of being cast out of heaven, they
will have sympathizers. There is always a class who are more influenced by individuals than they are by the Spirit
of God and sound principles; and, in their unconsecrated state, these are ever ready to take sides with the wrong
and give their pity and sympathy to the very ones who least deserve it. These sympathizers have a powerful
influence with others; things are seen in a perverted light, great harm is done, and many souls are ruined. Satan
in his rebellion took a third part of the angels. They turned from the Father and from His Son, and united with the
instigator of rebellion.. 3T 114.2

Matthew 15:8-9 KJV

[8] This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from
me. [9] But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Romans 10:9-10 KJV

[9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised
him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. [10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the
mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Philippians 2:11 KJV

our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

[Note- Christ is now in Heaven in the form of MAN so how could He come into our hearts?
Read Colossians 1:27 together with Galatians 4:6.
The glorified Christ lives in our hearts through the Holy Spirit.]

Colossians 1:27 KJV

[27] To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is
Christ in you, the hope of glory:

We want the Holy Spirit, which is Jesus Christ. If we commune with God, we shall have strength and grace and
efficiency.
9LtMs, Lt 66, 1894, par. 18

Cumbered with humanity, Christ could not be in every place personally; therefore it was altogether for their
advantage that He should leave them, go to His father, and send the Holy Spirit to be His successor on earth.
The Holy Spirit is Himself divested of the personality of humanity and independent thereof. He would represent
Himself as present in all places by His Holy Spirit, as the Omnipresent. "But the Comforter, which is the Holy
Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall (although unseen by you), This phrase was added by
Ellen White. teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you"
John 14:26. "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the
Comforter will come not unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you" John 16:7. 14MR 23.3

Read Numbers chapter 11:4-25

Numbers 11:17 KJV
[17] And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it
upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.

Numbers 11:25 KJV

[25] And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave
it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did
not cease.

The hour for joyful, happy songs of praise to God and His dear Son had come. Satan had led the heavenly choir.
He had raised the first note, then all the angelic host united with him, and glorious strains of music had
resounded through heaven in honor of God and His dear Son.. TA 46.2

All self-exaltation and self-admiration are the result of ignorance of God and of Jesus Christ, whom He has sent.
How quickly will self-esteem die, and pride be humbled in the dust, when we view the matchless charms of the
character of Christ! The holiness of His character is reflected by all who serve Him in spirit and in truth. . 4BC
1178.5

Hebrews 1:5-6 KJV

[5] For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I
will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? [6] And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the
world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

Christ Is Escorted Into the Father's Presence

There is the throne, and around it the rainbow of promise. There are seraphim and cherubim. The angels circle
round Him, but Christ waves them back. He enters into the presence of His Father. He points to His triumph ...—
those raised with Him, the representatives of the captive dead who shall come forth from their graves when the
trump shall sound. He approaches the Father; and ... says: Father, it is finished. I have done thy will, O my God. I
have completed the work of redemption. If thy justice is satisfied, “I will that they also, whom thou hast given Me,
be with Me where I am.”—The Youth's Instructor, August 11, 1898.
The arms of the Father encircle the Son, and His voice is heard, saying, “Let all the angels worship Him.”—
Selected Messages 1:306.
The angelic throng ... bow in adoration before Him, saying, “Worthy, worthy, is the Lamb that was slain, and lives
again, a triumphant conqueror.”—The Signs of the Times, June 17, 1889.
When Christ passed within the heavenly gates, He was enthroned amidst the adoration of the angels. As soon as
this ceremony was completed, the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples in rich currents, and Christ was
indeed glorified, even with the glory which He had with the Father from all eternity. The Pentecostal outpouring
was Heaven's communication that the Redeemer's inauguration was accomplished. According to His promise He
had sent the Holy Spirit from heaven to His followers, as a token that He had, as Priest and King, received all
authority in heaven and on earth, and was the Anointed One over His people.—The Acts of the Apostles, 38. . TA
222-TA 223.3

……………………………………………………….
Is full obedience to God’s requirements possible?

Christ came to the earth, taking humanity and standing as man’s representative, to show in the controversy with
Satan that man, as God created him, connected with the Father and the Son, could obey every divine
requirement. Speaking through His servant He declares, “His commandments are not grievous.” It was sin that
separated man from his God, and it is sin that maintains this separation. . ST June 9, 1898, par. 6

Christ's Crucifixion
The Son of God was delivered to the people to be crucified.... They laid on Him the heavy cross ... but Jesus
fainted beneath the burden. They then seized ... a man who had not openly professed faith in Christ, yet believed
on Him. They laid on him the cross and he bore it to the fatal spot. Companies of angels were marshaled in the
air above the place.—Spiritual Gifts 1:57.
Who witnessed these scenes? The heavenly universe, God the Father, Satan and his angels.—The Bible Echo,
May 29, 1899. . TA 201-TA 201.6

All who will put away their sins by repentance toward God and faith in Christ are offered pardon. 13. CC 41.5

Jesus was free from all sin and error; there was not a trace of imperfection in His life or character. He maintained
spotless purity under circumstances the most trying. True, He declared, “There is none good but one, that is,
God;” but again, He said, “I and my Father are one.” [Matthew 19:17; John 3:16.] Jesus speaks of Himself, as
well as the Father, as God and claims for Himself perfect righteousness. . 16LtMs, Ms 141, 1901, par. 5

Romans 11:33 KJV

[33] O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments,
and his ways past finding out!

Deuteronomy 29:29 KJV

[29] The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to
our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law

Nature of the HOLY SPIRIT

It is not essential for us to be able to define just what the Holy Spirit is. Christ tells us that the Spirit is the
Comforter, “the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father.” It is plainly declared regarding the Holy Spirit
that, in His work of guiding men into all truth, “He shall not speak of Himself.” John 15:26; 16:13. AA 51.3

The nature of the Holy Spirit is a mystery. Men cannot explain it, because the Lord has not revealed it to them.
Men having fanciful views may bring together passages of Scripture and put a human construction on them, but
the acceptance of these views will not strengthen the church. Regarding such mysteries, which are too deep for
human understanding, silience is golden. AA 52.1

We may have had a measure of the Spirit of God, but by prayer and faith we are continually to seek more of the
Spirit. LDE 187.3

The disciples did not ask for a blessing for themselves. They were weighted with the burden of souls. The gospel
was to be carried to the ends of the earth, and they claimed the endowment of power that Christ had promised.
Then it was that the Holy Spirit was poured out, and thousands were converted in a day. . CCh 98.5

1230. We are to keep advancing heavenward, developing a solid religious character. The measure of the Holy
Spirit we receive will be proportionate to the measure of our desire and faith exercised to get it, and the use we
shall make of the light and knowledge that shall be given us. We shall be entrusted with the Holy Spirit according
to our capacity to receive it and our ability to impart it to others.—The Review and Herald, May 5, 1896. . HL

God has given in His word sufficient evidence of its divine character. The great truths which concern our
redemption are clearly presented. By the aid of the Holy Spirit, which is promised to all who seek it in sincerity,
every man may understand these truths for himself. God has granted to men a strong foundation upon which to
rest their faith.

Yet the finite minds of men are inadequate fully to comprehend the plans and purposes of the Infinite One. We
can never by searching find out God. We must not attempt to lift with presumptuous hand the curtain behind
which He veils His majesty. The apostle exclaims: “How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past
finding out!” Romans 11:33. We can so far comprehend His dealings with us, and the motives by which He is
actuated, that we may discern boundless love and mercy united to infinite power. Our Father in heaven orders
everything in wisdom and righteousness, and we are not to be dissatisfied and distrustful, but to bow in reverent
submission. He will reveal to us as much of His purposes as it is for our good to know, and beyond that we must
trust the Hand that is omnipotent, the Heart that is full of love.

While God has given ample evidence for faith, He will never remove all excuse for unbelief. All who look for
hooks to hang their doubts upon will find them. And those who refuse to accept and obey God's word until every
objection has been removed, and there is no longer an opportunity for doubt, will never come to the light.
Distrust of God is the natural outgrowth of the unrenewed heart, which is at enmity with Him. But faith is inspired
by the Holy Spirit, and it will flourish only as it is cherished. No man can become strong in faith without a
determined effort. Unbelief strengthens as it is encouraged; and if men, instead of dwelling upon the evidences
which God has given to sustain their faith, permit themselves to question and cavil, they will find their doubts
constantly becoming more confirmed. . GC 526.2-GC 527.3
