Daily Devotional, Year 4: January 29

Noble Bereans,

Part 46:

“God’s Law & The United States”

“Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,

and I will give you REST.

Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me;

for I am meek and lowly in heart:

and ye shall find REST unto your souls.

For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”

Matthew 11:28-30…

.

.

.

.

“MANY LESSONS TO LEARN…AND…TO UNLEARN”

.

But while teaching various Bible doctrines, Ellen White also made the following statement…

.

Listen…“We have many lessons to learn,

and many, many to unlearn.

God and Heaven alone are infallible.

Those who think that they will never have to give up a cherished view,

never have occasion to change an opinion, will be disappointed.

As long as we hold to our own ideas and opinions with determined persistency,

we cannot have the unity for which Christ prayed.”

{Christian Experience and Teaching p. 203}

.

Here is a very dramatic statement regarding her teachings, and regarding the stance which any church or denomination should have taken.

“THERE REMAINETH A REST TO THE PEOPLE OF GOD”

.

For our primary example of how God often works, Ellen White spoke of the Sabbath in terms of the letter of the law, as does the Old Testament.

.

And to this very day, most of her adherents cling to this teaching.

.

But as the January 27 devotional (click here) attempted to teach, the Sabbath Rest which remains to the people of God is not merely a one-day-per-week, 24-hour long rest from physical labor, but rather is a spiritual rest which we receive in Jesus.

.

And this 24/7/365 spiritual rest is the true seal of God!

.

And of course, there are a number of articles and devotionals on this website dealing with this.

UNBELIEVERS HAVE NO REST

.

But as Revelation, Chapter 14 prophesies concerning the Mark of the Beast…

…”And they have no rest day nor night,

who worship the beast and his image…

Revelation 14:11

.

Here is revealed that those who worship the Beast and his image have no rest day nor night.

.

And this rest is the same Greek word found in Matthew 11:28-30…

…”Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,

and I will give you REST.

Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me;

for I am meek and lowly in heart:

and ye shall find REST unto your souls.

For My yoke is easy,

and My burden is light.”

.

This is the same rest which is spoken of in Revelation 14:11.

.

It is a spiritual rest which the world cannot and will not receive, until they begin to wholly trust in Christ as their Savior.

SUNDAY: AN ACT OF DEFIANCE

.

And Sunday worship? Well, one can probably conclude that when she spoke of Sunday, it is actually just symbolic of anyone who loves this present, Babylonian, sun-worshiping world, and yet attempts to serve Christ at the same time.

.

It is merely symbolic of any act of rebellion against and rejection of the commandments of God, for the “commandments of men” (“But in vain they do worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” Matthew 15:9) .

.

And let’s face it, living for and loving this present selfish world is the greatest of all acts of rebellion by Mankind against the commandments of God!

.

WHOSE CHARACTER IS WRITTEN ON MY HEART?

.

Therefore, we must not get the idea that merely attending church on either Saturday or Sunday will determine which camp we are in: the Saved or the Lost.

.

But rather, it is just whose name is written in our forehead (our heart): either the character of Christ or the character of Satan; this is what truly determines just who has the true seal of God or who has the true Mark of the Beast!

FINALLY WALKING UPWARD INTO THE HIGHWAYS OF ETERNITY

.

Day by day, you will find yourself walking, like the Disciples, spreading the precious Gospel seed wherever the Spirit leads.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Brooklyn_Museum_-_Study_for_The_Cross_and_the_World......_-_Thomas_Cole.jpg

.

Taking the lovely name of Jesus, with every word spoken.

.

Walking through this sin-darkened world, witnessing to those who take notice that of a truth, Jesus is present within you.

.

Even like faithful Enoch, walking through the highways and byways of life in this world, spreading the Gospel-seed of unpretentious love.

.

Day by day, you will become more and more closed in with God.

.

Moment by moment, your heart will become intertwined with God’s heart, eventually two hearts beating as one heart.

.

And just like Enoch, when the appointed time of sojourning on earth is finally done…you will walk onward…and upward…and into the highways and byways of eternity. (“And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.” Genesis 5:24).
