VERY IMPORTANTVERY IMPORTANT

A terrible doom awaits the sinner, and

therefore it is necessary that we know what

sin is, in order that we may escape from its

power. John says, "Whosoever committeth sin

transgresseth also the law; for sin is the

transgression of the law." Here we have thetrue definition of sin; it is "the transgression

of the law."


3/38



How often the sinner is urged to leave his

sins, and come to Jesus; but has the

messenger who would lead him to Christ

clearly pointed out the way? Has he clearly

pointed out the fact that "sin is the

transgression of the law," and that he mustrepent, and forsake the breaking of God's

commandments?


4/38



Christ will come to consume the false

prophet, to sweep away the hosts of

apostasy, to take vengeance on them that

know not God, and that obey not the gospel

of God; and it is of the highest importance to

each one of us that we know the conditionsby which we shall escape the sinner's doom.


5/38



It is of the greatest moment that we

understand the nature of our fall and the

consequences of transgression. Man's

conscience has become hardened by sin, and

his understanding darkened by transgression,

and his judgment has become confused as towhat is sin.


6/38



He has become benumbed by the influence

of iniquity, and it is essential that his

conscience be aroused to understand that sin

is the transgression of God's holy law. He who

does not obey the commandments of God is

a sinner in the sight of God.

NOW A RECAP!NOW A RECAP!

A terrible doom awaits the sinner, and

therefore it is necessary that we know

what sin is, in order that we may

escape from its power.

It is of the greatest moment that we

understand the nature of our fall and

the consequences of transgression.

Romans 3:9 -12 we have before proved both

Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under [rule of]

sin;

As it is written, 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.


17/38

COL.189.001

Romans 3:9 -12 there is none that seeketh after

God.

It was taught by the Jews that before God's

love is extended to the sinner, he must firstrepent. In their view, repentance is a work by

which men earn the favor of Heaven. And it

was this thought that led the Pharisees to

exclaim in astonishment and anger. This manreceiveth sinners. According to their ideas He

should permit none to approach Him but those

who had repented.


18/38

COL.189.001


God.

But in the parable of the lost sheep, Christ

teaches that salvation does not come through

our seeking after God but through God'sseeking after us. "There is none that

understandeth, there is none that seeketh after

God. They are all gone out of the way." Rom.3:11, 12. We do not repent in order thatWe do not repent in order that

God may love usGod may love us, but He reveals to us His

love in order that we may repent.

"As it is written, There is none righteous, no,

there is none that seeketh after God. They areall gone out of the way, they are together

become unprofitable; there is none that doeth

the state of things existing in the world and the

church to-day.

Psalms 14: 2 - 3 The LORD looked down fromheaven upon the children of men, to see if

there were any that did understand, and seek

God.They are all gone aside, they are all together

Romans 3:9 -12

there is none that seeketh after God.

And what has brought about this terrible

condition?--It is the making void of the law

of God.

Making Void of the Law of God

Romans 3:13 -17

Their throat is an open sepulchre; with theirtongues they have used

deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways:

And the way of peace have they not known:

Making Void of the Law of God

Romans 3:18 -19

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Now we know that what things soever the lawsaith, it saith to them who are under the

[condemnation of the] law: that every mouth

may be stopped, and all the world may

become guilty before God.

Christs Object Lessons, 311

The white robe of innocence was worn byour first parents when they were placed by

God in holy Eden. They lived in perfect

conformity to the will of God. All the strength

of their affections was given to their heavenly

Father. A beautiful soft light, the light of God,

enshrouded the holy pair. This robe of light

was a symbol of their spiritual garments ofheavenly innocence. Had they remained true

to God it would ever have continued to

enshroud them.

THE WHITE ROBE OF INNOCENCE

Christs Object Lessons, 311

But when sin entered, they severed their

connection with God, and the light that had

encircled them departed. Naked andashamed, they tried to supply the place of the

heavenly garments by sewing together fig

leaves for a covering..

THIS BLEND WOULD PRESERVE MANSLIFE THROUGHOUT ETERNITY

The signs of His second coming are clearly

pointed out in prophecy. When He came to theworld the first time, divinity and humanity

were blended. This is our only hope. The Son

of man is fully qualified to be the originator of

a humanity that will blend with divinity by

partaking of the divine nature.
