Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man has not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
The 4th point of truth pertaining to the sealing process is that Sabbath keeping, in and of itself does not constitute the seal of God, for there are many Sabbath keepers who will be weighed in the balances and found wanting. The seal is actually the Holy Spirit of God, who is to reside permanently in one’s heart, and thereby to empower us to keep the Sabbath together with all of God’s other commandments.
The reason why we emphasize the Sabbath as being critically important to the sealing process in our day is because of the gross imbalances which do exist in Christendom, where grace is often used to render God’s law as of non-effect. Thus, the remnant may at times seem to present a gospel that is off-balanced, or heavily tilted towards the commandments of God.
This does not mean to say that they are ignorant of God’s grace, or of the importance of The Holy Ghost. In fact, when studied carefully, the scriptures teach us that the primary reason for God giving us grace, together with His Holy Spirit, is not merely to speak in tongues; it is first and foremost to empower us to obey God.
Acts 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
