Hold Fast To The End

“Seeing then that we have a great high priest that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.” Heb. 4”14.

Even that we have faults and commit sins daily yet we have and advocate, Jesus Christ the righteous who presents the scars in His hands and with His blood before the Father to justify and to purify us. Only by the sacrifice done in Gethsemane and upon the cross of Calvary and because we have an High Priest, can we be reconciled with God eternally.

Apostle Paul says in Rom. 3:10-12, “There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”

Humanly, without a Mediator we are not in a condition to present ourselves before the Heavenly Judge. We need the blood and the righteousness of our Saviour, Jesus to be eternally saved.

When we from free will agree to make a covenant with the Lord by the waters of the baptism, we commit ourselves with the church of God to be faithful in all the principles of faith which were established by the apostles and the prophets. They gave testimony and taught all that the Lord Jesus Christ had told them to preach, which is “the present truth”. Although He also gave them a warning that false Christ’s, false prophets and false brethren will arise and accordingly false churches in the time of the end.

We, as the church of God, have no other teachings or doctrines that are different from those taught by our Advent pioneers and our last day’s prophet, Ellen White. “While the Lord brings into the church those who are truly converted, Satan at the same time brings persons who are not converted into its fellowship. While Christ is sowing the good seed, Satan is sowing the tares. There are two opposing influences continually exerted on the members of the church. One influence is working for the purification of the church, and the other for the corrupting of the people of God.” Test. to Min., p. 46.

It is true that it does not matter how pathetic is the condition of some of the members, they may be wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked, yet this Reform Movement continues to be the remnant church, because only this church has the present truth. It does not matter if among the members there are hypocrites, fanatics, licentious and other unconverted who consume the strength and spirit of the body, yet we continue to be the organized remnant, because we are the only ones who have the present truth. And lastly, it is not the holiness of every individual but the truth that distinguishes today the people of God, as it was in the days of ancient Israel who was the remnant people, organized by God, the only nation who had the present truth, regardless or their spiritual weakness.

“God has a church on earth who are lifting up the downtrodden law… There is but one church in the world who are at the present time standing in the breach, and making up the hedge, building up the old waste places…” Test. to Min, p. 50.

International Missionary Society of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church Reform Movement is the only organized church in the world that fulfills the characteristics that God requires in regard to the “present truth”. It teaches the truth of the heavenly sanctuary and of the investigative judgment one hundred percent correct. It makes effective the law of God, the ten commandments, and do not make allowance for the liberty of conscience in the political questions. It teaches that the manna inside the ark of covenant symbolizes the vegetarian diet which prepares us for the diet in the garden of Eden as in the beginning. It is an organized church that represents the order that was established by God by the medium of Aaron’s rod. It teaches the message of justification by faith and also preaches the three angel’s messages among other important messages.

“Although there are evils existing in the church, and will be until the end of the world, the church in these last days is to be the light of the world that is polluted and demoralized by sin. The church, enfeebled and defective, needing to be reproved, warned, and counseled, is the only object upon earth upon which Christ bestows His supreme regard.” Test. to Min., p. 49.

This message is directed to all those who once were our brothers in tribulation. They were members in our church but they left us, because they did not endure the trials with other leading brethren. They thought as some are thinking even now, that the church is founded by negative character. They also believe that the behaviour of the pastors, workers or members are not converted but yet remain in the church. These people have not understood correctly what is the meaning of the present truth. We must do all that is possible that they would return to the bosom of the church and endure the trials that help us to polish our characters.

Apostle Paul says in Philippians 3:2, “Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of concision.”
May the Lord help us to understand this message before it is too late when the time of mercy will be ended.
AMEN.
