Chapter 19 Charizomai Produces True Obedience Many hold to an understanding of the gospel which is tantamount to the conclusion that forgiveness or pardon means a person is ready for heaven. This understanding is why some unconsciously hold the belief that salvation comes through confession. The idea is that we keep confessing our sins, thus making certain of forgiveness and thereby maintaining a "saved" status. This idea--that mere pardon means eternal salvation--is not the idea presented in the Spirit of Prophecy or the Bible. The first phase of forgiveness, judicial pardon (charizomai), as wonderful as it is, only cancels out our bad deeds-- and is thus a negative act. It involves removing or taking something away. It does not provide what is required to replace that which is taken away, although it is the true motive for obedience. In order to enter heaven, we must also have righteousness! Therefore, we should understand that we need more than mere judicial forgiveness or pardon in order to enter heaven. We need righteousness. While we are "born forgiven," so far as the judicial pardon is concerned, we still need righteousness. This is provided in the second phase of forgiveness, aphiemi, which is also referred to as "justification by faith." In this phase of salvation the righteousness of Christ is imputed and imparted to the believer. The evidence of the experience of justification by faith is revealed in "obedience to all the commandments of God."[1] Genuine obedience is not simply obeying the "rules." It goes much deeper than merely "doing the right thing" and "abstaining from doing the wrong things." The eye of the Lord is upon all the work, all the plans, all the imaginings 130
