There is a criteria that must be met before the book of remembrance can be written in heaven. The criteria surround those who fear the Lord. This study seeks a biblical understanding as to who are the ones that fear the Lord and reveals the responsibility and work of God's end time people.

Presented by Pastor Chris. A powerful teaching about the TITLES of Jesus Christ.
You will know in this study that JESUS CHRIST is the name of the one true God!
This is a study of Jesus saying that men can be gods. He quotes the Old Testament where it says that certain men were called gods. If a man has authority over you, he becomes an example of a god, and so judges then become gods in this sense even today.

Galatians 3 | Children of Abraham and SarahSteve Thomason
This lecture on Galatians comes from a six-week course on Galatians. The Apostle Paul is frustrated with his friends in Galatia because they are being convinced by a group of people that they must first become Jewish before they can truly follow Jesus. Paul continues his argument in chapter 3 of this letter by recounting the story of Abraham and Sarah. They were justified simply by trusting God's promise, long before circumcision or the Law of Moses was ever part of the equation.

The Christian armour is necessary in this battle against "spiritual" wickedness in high places. As such each of us need to investigate carefully the recommendations made of the Armour that we need to put on.
A very critical look at the reality of the parable expounded by Christ in John 10 of the hireling. Looked at through analysis of history and use of the term a thought provoking study. It will enrich a lead to deeper studies of more passages of scripture.
What has been God's desire from the moment He created us? Did you know that desire has not changed? The coming of Christ to this earth has been a matter of much study yet many fail to grasp the reason for Christ's coming. Christ did not come that we could merely be forgiven; Christ came so we could be restored. God created us for His glory and through the plan of redemption He intends to carry out the original plan.
Chapter 3 of "Bible Basics" a Bible study manual, dealing with how the promises in Eden and to Abraham and David in the Old Testament are the basis for the Christian Gospel in the New Testament. Through baptism into Christ, the promises made to Abraham about salvation in Christ become true for us too.

A study on the doctrine of predestination as found in scripture and its many implications for the end time.
This document seeks to look at the scriptural teaching of predestination and where the completion of the purposes of predestination should be expected to be carried out. Clear pinpoint links between predestination, election, justification, sanctification and glorification presented. Prayerful reading required.
Reading time: Approximately 30 minutes.
Predestination is one of the most widely taught doctrines in Calvinism. The biblical understanding of this passage reveals a much deeper underlying principle and a richer store of information than can be imagined.
God want's to do great things for us. A scripture based study into predestination reveals that God wants to glorify us. Allow the scriptures to open the pathway that God desires to bring us on.
Names of God (Elohim) from the Bible explained with Bible verses, illustration and meaning translated from Hebrew and Greek. The Bible says there is only one God and his name is Jehovah. I have listed as many names I could find and these are just his characteristics and should not be confused as different names - but just titles of one God. Some of these names may apply to all the entities of the HOLY TRINITY and some may not. Write to me at rheydiance@gmail.com in case of any discrepancies. Let the name of God alone be praised forever and ever, amen.

A look at the close ties between the 70 week prophecy and the first four weeks. A demonstration of how the outpouring of the Holy Spirit 50 days after the resurrection was predicted in the sanctuary service and is tied with Jesus' inauguration as high priest in heaven.
A presentation that is based on the parable of the sower in a developmental parallel setting. It admonishes that the correct seed should be watered that our Christian spirituality can grow and that the carnal nature can be crushed. By starving the carnal nature the Spiritual nature will become a plant that is a tree of righteousness,
A bible study spread over two articles, October 3 and 10 of 1893, using the principles of typology and explaining the position one should occupy in relation to the organized body of Seventh-day Adventists at this present hour.
A prayerful read of these two articles is recommended.
A series of articles from the pen of Ellen G. White which was written in 1893 in response to a compilation entitled "the Loud Cry" which claimed that the Seventh-day Adventist church was Babylon and persons needed to separate from the organization.
Many practical lessons are brought forth and a Bible Study is used to show the correct typology that is to be applied to the Seventh-day Adventist church in these last days. The Articles start on July 25, 1893 and run all the way to October 31, 1893. Included is the full set of articles.
Be blessed as you read.
In recent times many have laid claim to the title of being a prophet. This claim requires a look into scripture to reveal whether this is true or not. This presentation seeks to look at several tests that should be applied to claimants of the gift of prophecy and the tests as applied to an individual who actually passed all of them.
The protestants of 1529 grounded their teachings on the fact that anything that didn't agree with scripture it was their task to reject it. This presentation looks at two contrasting views. One advanced by the Catholic church and the other view advance by Seventh-day Adventists. We then compare these views with scripture.
An outline of the study of the sanctuary in scripture form. It has been placed in a print friendly form that can be used as the basis of a Biblical study on the sanctuary.
I have been reading volume six of the Testimonies, and I find in this little book instruction that will help us to meet many perplexing questions. How many have read the article “Evangelistic Work” in this volume? I advise that these directions and warnings and cautions be read to our people at some time when they are gathered together. By far too small a portion of our people are in possession of these books. {Lt292-1907 (September 21, 1907) par. 9}
Popular teaching says that the Sabbath was abolished at when Jesus died on the cross. Is this true? The Bible has clear instructions and identifies whether or not the Sabbath is relevant in our time. In the light of God's glory how does the Sabbath stack up against the other commandments? This Presentation seeks to compare scripture with scripture to obtain a view of what is needed in this end time.
A word document looking at the Sabbath through the concept of glory to better appreciate the importance and modern relevance of the Sabbath debate. An important and testing look it brings clarity to many issues surrounding the Sabbath question.
The sanctuary has deep relations between Christ and the desire He has for His people especially in this end time. A serious look into the importance of studying the sanctuary and the way sanctuary terminology is woven through out the scriptures.
Clearly reveals how a knowledge of the sanctuary affects your lifestyle and the food we eat. A truly enriching and Christ centred and biblical study.
Much sought after James White article. Bible based look at the validity of using Leviticus 26 to expouse the popular 2520 prophecy. James uses the biblical rules coupled with principles of language investigation to "prove all things." His conclusions are revelatory. Copied from the January 26, 1864 Review and Herald articles on egwwritings.org.
To the point. Contains sentences and also short extracts of various paragraphs that contain the message message of what we are to be doing now. Inspired by present truth and present realities; this compilation was assembled in the light that "now is the acceptable time, NOW is the day of salvation."
A compilation of Quotes from the writings of Sister White that manifest the context of various quote with the phrase "now is the time". Reveals the work we ought to be doing now and the preparation needed during this period of time. Sure to be a blessing to earnest seekers for truth.
A study of God's desire for the His people in these last days. Are we willing to be "blameless and harmless" a people of God "without rebuke" let us look at how scripture describes the last generation in earth's history.
The full message of glorification by Faith is clearly seen when we investigate it from the point of view of the Sanctuary. The development of the process of justification, moving through the process of Sanctification and completed through glorification.
The plan of redemption takes on new heights in this bible based presentation.
A inspection of the prophecy of the wise and foolish virgins from the bible's perspective. Prophecy is a light and the sanctuary is the key that unlocks the mystery, Through the use of parallelism, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, some deep truths can be revealed from the scriptures.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

They That Feared the LORD
1. Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard
it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that
thought upon his name. (Malachi 3:16)
According to the text above it is when the people who fear the world speak often one with
another that the book of remembrance is written. This offers some interesting challenges to us.
As it becomes vital for us to understand properly who are the people that fear the Lord thus we
need to know what means to “fear God”.
Parallelism is the literary device in which one passage of writing is explained or made clearer by
a similar passage. The Webster’s dictionary of 1913 defines parallelism on this wise: “Similarity
of construction or meaning of clauses placed side by side, especially clauses expressing the same
sentiment with slight modifications, as is common in Hebrew poetry.” It should be noted that the
greatest wealth of Hebrew poetry that we have available to us is found in the books of Job
through to Songs of Solomon. Poetry is found in almost every book of the bible and interestingly
every author of the bible is of Hebrew background.
Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are
weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept
upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: (Isaiah 28:9-10)
Many persons have stumbled over this passage in trying to determine whether this actually
applies to true scriptural interpretation. The fact is that if we take each book as being
independent of the others then the concept of “line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little
and there a little” fails to hold water.
However the Bible is not a book of independent books. The Bible is a story with interrelated
chapters and books that continue the story from one place to the next. Thus we are told:
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God,” “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will
of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” (2 Timothy 3:16) (2
Peter 1:21)
From this we realize that the best method of understanding what a particular passage of scripture
means we must compare similar phrases with each other in order to get a full understanding of
what a particular phrase means.
Based on Malachi 3:16 we recognize that we need to understand “fear the Lord” as it the persons
that are doing this that will speak often one with another and cause the book of remembrance to
be written.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this
is the whole duty of man. (Ecclesiastes 12:13) The entire duty of many is covered in two duties,
fearing God and keeping His commandments. We know that keeping the commandments is
2. obedience to God’s instructions which are perfectly summarized in the Ten Commandments. But
it is the fear of God that we now need to understand.
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the
faith of Jesus. (Revelation 14:12). Here we have presented that the saints are doing two things
they are found keeping the commandments and also having the faith of Jesus. Here we recognize
that “keep the commandments” matches from the previous verse but “fear God” has been
replaced by “have the faith of Jesus”.
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed,
which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Revelation
12:17). Here we are presented with the entire scope of the duties of the remnant church in two
short phrases. The fact that satan is wroth with them is enough of an indication that these persons
are in fact doing “the whole duty of man”. In comparison with Ecclesiastes 12:13 we recognize
that once more “keep the commandments” matches again but here “fear God” is replaced by
“have the testimony of Jesus Christ”.
After looking at three verses we have found that:
1. To “fear of God” and to “have the faith of Jesus” are the same thing
2. To “fear God” and to “have the testimony of Jesus Christ” are the same thing.
3. It then follows that “the faith of Jesus” is also “the testimony of Jesus Christ”. (We will look at
the concept of the faith of Jesus further but before that let us examine the testimony of Jesus).
“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy
fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the
testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” “Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am
thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this
book: worship God.” (Revelation 19:10) (Revelation 22:9). Note that the brethren who are
referred to as having “the testimony of Jesus” is then referred to as “the prophets”. Plainly those
who have the testimony of Jesus must possess the spirit of prophecy as is identified by
Revelation 19:10; hence, according to Revelation 22:9 all prophets have prophesied about Christ.
Of course this does give a very interesting reading to Malachi 3:16 not that belief of the prophets
is fearing God; not only that belief of the prophets is “the faith of Jesus”. Notice Paul describing
Faith:
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17)
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things
which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (Hebrews 11:3)
Of course the question becomes how do we know that these things happened? By the word of
God.
3. Notice how the word of God is described: For this cause also thank we God without ceasing,
because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word
of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
(1 Thessalonians 2:13)
And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul
also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles,
speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they
that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own
destruction. (2 Peter 3:15-16) (Paul writings are here compared with other scriptures)
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly
furnished unto all good works. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the
prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were
moved by the Holy Ghost. (2 Peter 1:20-21)
Of course the “faith of Christ” is not an ineffective faith:
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even
we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the
works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. (Galatians 2:16)
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that
believe: for there is no difference: (Romans 3:22)
“For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed,
through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.” “Therefore it is of faith, that it might be
by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the
law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all” (Romans 4:13-
16). Here we have the fact that both the faith of Abraham produced righteousness.
Lastly let us look at something related to the “testimony of Jesus”: Search the scriptures; for in
them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (John 5:39). The
scriptures testify of Jesus. Said differently the scriptures are the “testimony of Jesus”. This means
the word of God is the “testimony of Jesus. John 17:17 reveals that through the word we can be
sanctified.
Faith=trust which is complete reliance on a person or thing: “But without faith it is impossible to
please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them
that diligently seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6). This means that without faith, which comes by the
hearing the word of God (which is the testimony of Jesus), we cannot please God. Jesus reveals:
“And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things
that please him.” (John 8:29)
4. “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were
dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou
this?” “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;” “But he answered
and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out
of the mouth of God.” (John 11:25-26) (Ephesians 2:1) (Matthew 4:4).
Then they that feared the LORD [have the faith of Jesus, have the testimony of Jesus (understood
the prophecies) and are alive in christ] spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and
heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and
that thought upon his name. (Malachi 3:16)
