Sabbath School Presentation 26th May 2018

Lesson 8 for
May 26, 2018

“But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that

shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.” (Proverbs 4:18)



The plan of salvation has been revealed to

mankind in a progressive way, like the


daybreak.


Each phase in that revelation is “the

present truth” for that moment (2 Peter

1:12). The Message of the Three Angels in

Revelation 14:6-11 is the present truth for

the End Time.


Let’s study the message of the first angel

(v. 6-7)




1. The everlasting Gospel


2. To all the Earth


3. Fear God and give glory to Him



4. The hour of His judgment


5. Worship the Creator

“Then he said to Jesus, ‘Lord, remember

me when You come into Your kingdom.’”

(Luke 23:42)









God offered the way of salvation from the moment

Adam and Eve sinned (Genesis 3:15). That’s the good

news message, the everlasting gospel.


Everyone who accepts Jesus as his or her personal

Savior will live with Him in paradise, like the thief on

the cross.


We can do nothing to gain our salvation, just repenting

and wanting to be with Jesus. “and the one who comes

to Me I will by no means cast out.” (John 6:37)

Jesus offers salvation to you freely, no matter how big

or small your sins may be.

The everlasting Gospel will be

preached “to every nation, tribe,

tongue, and people” in the End

Time.

Why is it necessary to preach the

Gospel to all the people in the

world?

Because the problem of sin affects

everyone (Romans 3:23), therefore,

everyone needs to know about sin

and their need for a Savior.


That’s the Great Commission Jesus

gave us before ascending to Heaven
(Matthew 28:19). That commission

is even more important today,

because His Coming is near.

“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and

keep His commandments, for this is man’s all.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13)


Fearing God and glorifying Him is related to obeying to His will.





















God knew that People are

Abraham God wants us to Job feared God moved to

feared Him fear Him, so we and moved glorify God
because he don’t sin away from evil because of our

obeyed Him (Exodus 20:20) (Job 1:1) obedience

(Genesis 22:12) (Matthew 5:16)




When we understand that we are sinners, we fear a righteous God. But when

we understand His grace and forgiveness, we are moved to worship and obey

Him. Then we “give unto the Lord the glory due to His name.” (Psalm 29:2)

“When I choose the proper time, I will judge uprightly.” (Psalm 75:2)



According to Daniel 8:14, the pre-

advent judgment began in 1844. We

are living in the hour of His judgment

now.


Read Matthew 12:36, Ecclesiastes
12:14, Romans 2:6 and 1 Corinthians

4:5. Then, How well would I do in the

judgment standing on my own merits?


Our hope in the hour of judgment is

based only in being covered with the
robe of Christ’s righteousness. “There

is therefore now no condemnation to

those who are in Christ Jesus.”

(Romans 8:1)



“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He

saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit.”

(Titus 3:5)

“For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea,

and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the

Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.” (Exodus 20:11)



In addition to the judgment, there’s a command to

worship the Creator. That’s a reference to another

“present truth” that’s been forgotten for a long

time: keeping the Sabbath.

To summarize, the message of the first angel

highlights the everlasting gospel and invites those

who accept it to proclaim the hour of judgment and

to act accordingly by keeping the Ten
Commandments.

















The result of that message is followed by the message of the next two angels

(Revelation 14:8-11). Those messages will make the difference between those
worshipping God and those obeying the “beast.”

“The message proclaimed by the angel flying in the
midst of heaven is the everlasting gospel, the same


gospel that was declared in Eden when God said to
the serpent, ‘I will put enmity between thee and the


woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall
bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel’


(Genesis 3:15). Here was the first promise of a
Saviour who would stand on the field of battle to


contest the power of Satan and prevail against him.
Christ came to our world to represent the character


of God as it is represented in His holy law; for His law
is a transcript of His character. Christ was both the


law and the gospel. The angel that proclaims the
everlasting gospel proclaims the law of God; for the


gospel of salvation brings men to obedience of the
law, whereby their characters are formed after the


divine similitude.”
