03_03 The Everlasting Gospel

Document #03_03 is the Everlasting Gospel. The first part of the 3 Angel’s Messages that was proclaimed, and is being proclaimed, and will be proclaimed, is the true gospel. A false gospel is being preached in almost all of Christianity, which has been, for centuries, leading God’s people that are in all of these denominations into SIN!! (by keeping Sunday holy?) Find out the Bible’s DEFINITION of sin. Look up the words in a good dictionary.
You will be shocked by this document!

Scripture Text: (read first) Rev.14:6,7.

Title: The Everlasting Gospel

Have you ever wondered what the gospel really is?

Let’s talk about the Everlasting Gospel. Here it is in a nutshell: John 3, verses 16,17. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life: for God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.” This is the Everlasting Gospel; the good Jesus wants to share with you, news of the possibility of being saved from our sins so that we can have the promise of eternal life!
But let’s find out how it works. We cannot be saved in our sins, or while we are still indulging in sin: for, Romans 6:23 states, “The wages of sin is death.”

But the verse continues: it says, “But the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord!”
God sets before you life or death. Eternal life, or eternal death!

But maybe you don’t need saving. Perhaps you’ve been a good person almost all your life. You’ve never killed anyone, or stolen anything, or committed adultery. I’m sure there are many people who believe that of themselves. I did. I wasn’t a bad person! I didn’t think I needed religion to save me!

Then I found out that the Bible says I was fooling myself. The Bible says in Romans 3:23 – “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Paraphrased, you might say here, “All have sinned and come short of the character God requires, character like His character; character like the character of Jesus, who refused to sin.”

Is the Bible wrong? Am I a sinner too? Do I need the salvation Jesus offers? What is sin, anyway? Are there a few sins I don’t know I have been committing? Hey, I want to live forever, don’t you? So let’s get this salvation thing straight, now, together.
Where can I find a Biblical definition of sin?
If I look in the back part of most Bibles, I will find a bit of a Concordance: a tool for finding answers on my own. You see, we can find truth for ourselves! Once you begin to study, you will want a complete Concordance, like Cruden’s Concordance, which you can get quite inexpensively, in paperback, for yourself. It’s just like a dictionary, but with each word it tells you every place that word is found in the Bible, starting at Genesis, up through Revelation, so you can look up places that word is used and find out what God says is truth. Look in your Bible at the back. Let’s find the word “sin” and see if we can notice a probable definition of the word. Here’s one that sounds right on target; – “Sin is the transgression…” You see, a part of the verse is quoted in each instance to help us to separate out the verses we want quickly. So, let’s turn to the 1st Letter of John, chapter 3, v.4, and see it in its context. “…for sin is the transgression of the Law.”

What is “transgression?” With such words, get out a good-sized dictionary. Here’s
what mine says; “Transgression” – a violation of a law, command, etc; especially a violation of a divine law – sin.” The word transgression comes from the word “transgress” above it on the same page of the dictionary.

“Transgress” means “to break a law.” So; what is sin? Sin is to break the Law of God.
The Ten Commandments never change. Only they are perfect law. They are the
moral Law of life! They are written in stone (unchangeable) by God’s own finger! See Exodus 31, verse 18.
If everyone who is redeemed is to live forever, can anyone kill? The wages of sin is death. How about stealing? Does it lead to death too? Yes, even in this life, millions have died as a result of trying to steal. The same for adultery, and even false witness, and covetousness – wanting what another has.
*Note carefully what James teaches in James 2:8-12. (read it now).
But my mistake in thinking I wasn’t a sinner was the fact that that is not all of the Ten Commandments. There are five more.
How about, “Honor your father and mother?” We have sure failed that one often,
haven’t we? How about “Have no other gods before me.” – the First Commandment?
Making self of supreme importance breaks this one. That’s where Eve fell. That’s what we’ve all learned so well that we fail to honor our father and our mother.

Or, how about graven images of worship? – the Second Commandment. Have you seen any statues of Mary, that people pray to? Did you know before that God forbids it, on penalty of loss of eternal life? If you pray to any false god, you are really just being deceived by Satan! Mary isn’t a god. She is still in the grave with everybody else. She was a mortal human being, like you and I; and she died and was buried, till the resurrection at the end of time, when Jesus comes back to take His kingdom away from Satan.
How about the Third Commandment? “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.” Most people say that means don’t swear or curse using the name of Jesus. I think it means more than that. If we let the sacrificial death of Jesus be in vain – of no effect for saving us from our sins, we will die eternal death for our sins.

HERE IS HOW THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL WORKS.

The Bible says that the sacrificial death of Jesus covers us for all of our past sins – Romans 3:24,25 – “Being justified freely by His GRACE, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus…for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God.”
By being baptized, we receive this promise. At the same time, the Bible says that the Spirit is given to us to give us power to overcome sin day by day – John 1:12 – “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons [and daughters] of God, even to them that believe on His name.” Here, read Acts 2:36-39.

But this is a partnership. It only works if you daily, minute by minute, put Jesus on the throne of your mind, and refuse to sin, like Jesus Himself did. Jesus says, “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in His throne.” Rev.3:21. This is the good news, that by the Spirit of Jesus in you, you can choose to keep His Commandments, and live the victorious life!
How did Jesus overcome? What do you think? Let’s see it in the record of Scripture. Matthew chapter 4 is about Jesus being directly tempted by Satan in the wilderness after His baptism. How did Jesus overcome? What was His power? “It is Written!”
Complete faith in Bible truth is how to overcome as Jesus overcame! Can we put the two together? – the power of the Spirit and the power of the Word? Turn to John 6:63. This principle is the secret to overcoming sin. John 6, verse 63:
“It is the Spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are life.”

So, the true Gospel is the power to overcome sin, beginning with forgiveness of all past sin at baptism. “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.” Rev.3, verse 5.
(Re-read above paragraph – we can overcome!)
All have sinned – God says so. All would die eternally as the penalty for sin, if Jesus hadn’t paid the price of death for our redemption. We are bought with a terribly high price and at great risk, for our sakes. We cannot let it be in vain, or we will have to receive the wages of sin; death, eternal death.
But we take His name in vain (calling ourselves Christians) if we continue in wilful sin! If you didn’t know that, or if someone has tried to deceive you into believing you can keep on sinning and still be saved, read Romans chapter 6, right now!

God’s people will keep the Commandments. Jesus says so, not once, but twice, in Revelation, as well as in the Gospels:
“Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the Commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Rev.14:12. (Read also John 14:15-18 here.)

“And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the Commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ!” Rev.12:17. (Be sure to read also Mt.19:16-22 here.)

So: have we covered all of the Ten Commandments? We had better be sure. We don’t want to be deceived into breaking any of them, or, even the sacrifice of Jesus could be insufficient to save us. Let’s check. Turn to Exodus 20 in your King James version of the Bible. The 10 Commandments are found in Exodus, the 20th chapter.

Verse 3 is the First Commandment. “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.” Verse 4 is the Second Commandment. “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.” Were you ever told in some way by your church that it was
right to pray to Mary, or even to other “saints?” Have you perhaps been deceived regarding graven images?
Verse 7 is the Third Commandment. “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.” Were you ever told that you don’t have to keep the Ten Commandments of God to be saved?
Think about it. Will anyone sin in the earth made new? God forbid! Sin is to end and never rise the second time. Can we kill in the earth made new? Of course not! At the very least, someone would die, wouldn’t they? Where would be their eternal life? We would self destruct, as it is here.
Can you just go on sinning, and Jesus will cover for you, on into forever? That is taking His name in vain, isn’t it. Rebellion against the Law of God, Satan’s sin, cannot be taken into heaven. It was cast out of heaven, with Satan! Sin must be overcome! Rev.22:14 says, “Blessed are they that do His Commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the City.” Here read Hebrews 10:26-31.

Now: Exodus 20, verse 8, is the Fourth Commandment. Ah! Here’s one we missed! Let’s read it to verse 10. (read).
I guess everyone knows we should go to church on Sunday and worship God. Prayer in church is powerful worship! But it says “keep the Sabbath day holy: In it thou shalt not do any work.”
Did anyone in your church tell you to keep the whole day holy unto God, and not do any work? How many of us wash the car, or cut the grass, or shop on Sunday? [making somebody else work]. Is that work? Is that keeping the whole day holy? Have you been breaking this Commandment, ignorant of the fact that it says not to work on the Sabbath?
Why didn’t someone tell you? Eternal life could be lost by being deceived about any of the Ten Commandments! God holds us responsible to personally study His Law. Why? Is He a tyrant?
No. That is the only way to keep you from being deceived on this central issue of salvation!
Now: let’s read it again and look at it carefully. “Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.” Why? “For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day, wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.” (made it a holy day.)
Let’s think back to Creation for a moment. According to Genesis chapter 1, there is a reason for the limit of each day: (Not midnight, but rather the setting of the sun ends each 24 hour period, and a new day starts with the dark part of each day.) You probably know the reason for the limit of each month – it is the phases of the moon, right? But what is the reason for a seven-day cycle, which we call a week? Hm? That goes all the way back to Genesis chapter 1! In the beginning of the world, God Himself set the number of days in a week. Man has had a seven-day week ever since. And God says to keep the seventh day holy. Actually, it is a day He especially blessed, according to what we read in the Commandment. He set a weekly day that He would especially bless men, women, and children who worship Him, who pray to Him for their salvation from sin. That’s why there is special power in prayer in church!
But why does there seem to be so little of that special power of prayer in our churches? Something is far different from the days of the early church. We could sure use some answers to prayer like we read of in the days of the apostles! Could it be because we are so lax in our keeping of God’s Commandments? We’ve been deceived on a few points regarding them, haven’t we?

Anyway, you have been told in some way by your church that the Sabbath is Sunday, at least, haven’t you?
Now get up and take a look at a regular calendar; a nice big one if you have one. The days of the week are Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and finally, Saturday, the seventh day of the week.
…What’s wrong? Isn’t that what the calendar shows? Oh! Sunday is not the seventh day of the week, is it?? It can’t be the Sabbath unless it is the seventh day of the week, can it? After all, God Himself set the Sabbath at the end of the week. Listen…you will find the first day of the week, which we now call Sunday, follows the Sabbath in the account of the resurrection of Jesus in the gospels! (Read Mt.28:1; Mark 16:1,2; and Luke 23:55,56 and 24:1.)
The Jews still go to church (Synagogue) on Saturday, the seventh day! I grew up near one of their synagogues, so I remember!
Saturday is the true Sabbath! What are we doing going to church on the first day of the week, contrary to the COMMANDMENT of God? Are we being deceived on this point also??
Listen. Satan hates God’s Law. Paraphrased, here, in essence, is the first lie he told, that has caused all mankind to fall into sin: “You won’t surely die for disobeying God: You’ll make yourself a god if you just go ahead and break His Commandment!” Notice, his words are more subtil and deceptive.
You see, if Satan can just get us to keep on breaking God’s Commandments, till it is too late, we will be found to be Satan’s followers, instead of the followers of Jesus! We also will be found to be rebels against the Law of God!

Satan is the one that is worshipped on Sun-day, the Pagan day of worship of the sun as the life-giver! God, the Creator, is the life-giver!

Now turn to Second Thessalonians, chapter 2. Read from verse 1 to verse 14.
(read it now). This day this Scripture will be fulfilled in your ears!

The famous “beast” of Revelation 13: 1-9 (read) is this “man of sin.” It is the fallen, Roman, Papal church, which has led the world to worship on Sunday in place of the Sabbath of the Creator!
The “mark”…of the “beast”…is Sun-day worship, the one blatant disregard of God’s right to our worship as our Creator God! In Rev.13:2, the latter part, “the dragon (Satan) gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.” The “beast” of Rev.13 is further revealed to us by another kind of illustration, in Rev.17. God’s church is illustrated by the symbol of a pure woman in Rev. chapter 12. But by Rev. 17, she has fallen, as history shows, after the rise of the Papacy, in 538 A.D. She is called Great Babylon, a mother of harlots! Her daughters are the churches of Protestant Christendom, which have drunk of the wine of her fornication with Satan! The wine is the false doctrines of the “beast” (the Papacy) the greatest of these being the attempt to change the Law of God!
It is foretold in Daniel chapter 7, verses 25 and 26! (read)

The popes took away the Bible from the people and replaced the Bible with the
Catechism. In the Catechism, they removed the Second Commandment, against
images, and have developed worship of their image, Mary! They split the 10th
Commandment into two to make up 10 again! Also in the Catechism, by their own
written boast, they claim to have changed the Sabbath to Sunday! The “mark” of Papal Rome’s power and authority is her claim to be able to change the very Law of God!
Protestants are receiving her “mark” by accepting the false Sabbath she instituted! All the world is wondering after the “beast,” today! Millions flock to see and listen to her representative, the pope. That “man of sin” is revealed to you this day, from the Word of God!!

Because of this ridiculous worship of the sun, introduced into ancient Babylonian Paganism, by Satan, and sanctified and handed down to us by the Papacy, commanding us to keep Sunday as if it was the Sabbath of the Creator, the greatest warning in the whole New Testament includes the preaching, by the Remnant, of the true Everlasting Gospel! Turn now to Rev.14, verses 6 and 7 (read).

“The hour of His Judgment is come!…worship Him that made heaven and earth and the sea.” Right there is a reference, by the wording used, to the 4th Commandment in Exodus 20:
“For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth.”

Now read verse 8 of Revelation 14, please. Babylon, that Great city of Rome which sits on seven hills (See Rev.17:9,18) which is code-named Babylon, is responsible for causing all nations to accept the wine of her false doctrines.
She is FALLEN!
Now read on; Rev.14:9-11. Here is the warning! (read). Verse 12 is the antidote to the wine of her fornication!

Reformation history reveals that reformation is still in progress. “Sola Scriptura,” “the Bible only,” includes returning to keeping all of God’s Commandments. Rev.18:1-5 reveals that that reform is still in progress! (read)

Come out of her, and out of her daughters, and be a Seventh-day Adventist, waiting and working toward the Second Advent of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus! He is warning you not to receive her “mark,” neither in your forehead, which is your thinking, nor in your hand, which is your working, contrary to the Sabbath Commandment!

Friend, Jesus is coming soon now. The hour of His Judgment, revealed in a time prophecy in Daniel 8 v.14, is already far spent! Will you be on the Lord’s side when He comes??
What should you do? Seek out the Seventh-day Adventist church nearest your home. Study the Bible lessons you can get there. Study to show yourself approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of Truth for yourself.
