Rebellion - The Eternal Gospel Church

REBELLION
1902, the principle still applies to disobedient institutions in our day.
The Lord will work to purify His church. I tell you in truth, the
Lord is about to turn and overturn in the institutions called by His
name. Just how soon this refining process will begin I cannot say,
but it will not be long deferred. He whose fan is in His hand will
cleanse His temple of its moral defilement. He will thoroughly purge
His floor. Ibid.
The counsel of the true Witness does not represent those
who are lukewarm as in a hopeless case. There is yet a chance to
remedy their state, and the Laodicean message is full of encouragement.
. . . Purity of heart, purity of motive, may yet characterize
those who are halfhearted and who are striving to serve God and
mammon. They may yet wash their robes of character and make
them white in the blood of the Lamb.
The gold of faith and love, the white raiment of a spotless
character, and the eyesalve, or the power of clear discernment between
good and evil—all these we must obtain before we can hope
to enter the kingdom of God. But these precious treasures will not
drop upon us without some exertion on our part. We must buy—we
must “be zealous and repent” of our lukewarm state. We must be
awake to see our wrongs, to search for our sins, and to put them
away from us. Our High Calling, 351.

Rebellion In True Sabbath Keeping
Ellen G. White, the prophet of God’s remnant church, has consistently
revealed that true Sabbath keeping according to Isaiah 58:13–14
is to be the Seal of the Living God.
If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy
pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of
the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own
ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to
ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage
of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
Isaiah 58:13–14.
Perfect Sabbath Keeping
Perfect Sabbath keeping will be the final test before probation closes
for the world and for every Seventh-day Adventist member.
