Sabbath Reform Explained
For more info read the GC Chapter 26 - A Work of Reform
Generally, there are 3 classes in the Church.
1. Adventists
2. Seventh Day
3. Seventh Day Adventists
Adventists
These are the people who are waiting for the fulfilment of the prophecies but don't keep the Sabbath Day. Even in the SDA Church these are living the life of their own.
But are always praying for the change of their behaviours and love their Master. But are only confused by the false teachers of the Word of God.
When the truth of the Sabbath day surfaces they will come out of their present state and join the Sabbath crusaders. They will be redeemed because of their faith in Jesus.
Seventh Day
These are people in the church who are not bothered by the precepts in the bible. They say I am a seventh day keeper. They know the Sabbath as a true day of worship but they don't keep it holy. They are in the church like that. They profane it as they please.
They are even ready to defend the day. They can't join any other denomination outside the Sabbath keeping. However they behave like any other person outside the church.
These people during tribulation shall be easily taken away from what they believed and join the offenders and are ready to betray their brethren during the time of tribulation. Their lives are not changed. They are in the church because of company and other interests.
Some of these unfortunately, are found in all congregational church gatherings. They can be found among some Church Elders, some notable Christians, and even some Pastors.
They're smoking, drinking alcohol, committing adultery, slundering. There's no sin they cannot commit. There is no fear of God in them.
They're indolent, they have no time for the bible. The only thing they have is fashions and love to be seen in the high places just for a calculated purpose of wanting to be seen.
This is why each one of us is required to read for himself and come closer to Jesus and not focus his eyes on any prominent Christian because once that one is recognised many unrooted Christians take such persons as the example. They say "so and so does this and that, is there any Christian better than him?". They forget that our only example is Jesus and not a person in his or her folly.
Seventh Day Adventists
These are the people who Observe the Sabbath Day of the Lord and are keepers of all the precepts in the bible. They're faithfully waiting for the Lord to come. These are ready to defend their belief in the Lord and are even ready to die for it.
These are always on their knees pleading with the Lord to hasten His coming. They're grieved by the sins being committed in church and outside the church.
Some of them are penury and have no word in the society. They're even regarded as fanatics and deraging
They have no guile on their mouth. They follow the Lamb of God wherever He goes. They have not defiled themselves with women because they're virgins.
When Jesus Christ comes back, these are the ones who will receive Jesus Christ on the clouds of Heaven. They have washed their garments in the Blood of Jesus Christ. They're called firstfruits because of their total dependency on the Lord.
We can't be womanizers and call ourselves waiting for the Lord to come. We can't be haters of our brothers and indifferent in the society and claim to be holy and righteous.
God requires us to be sympathizers with God's people in whatever challenges they face.
They're justified by Faith in JESUS. They're saved by Grace. They don't boast of their own righteousness but the Grace of Him that saved them and strengthens them.
So which side do you belong among these three groups?
