THE GOSPEL AND THE CHURCH. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone...and to those who are of the...faith GaL6: 10

We could not have the best things of life for us and use the leftovers for seed The law of life decreed that the harvest reflect the planting.

Understanding that we are saved by grace should make us humble and more patient and compassionate in how we treat others.

RESTORING THE FALLEN. We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak Rom.15:1 The act of restoration must be done in a spirit of gentleness Gal.6:1

The one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life Gal. 6:8

OPPORTUNITY AND RESPONSIBILITY. THE SPIRIT-LED LIFE OF LOVE IN THE CHURCH. Let us do the work of Him who sends us while it is day, because the night comes when no one can work.

John13: 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.

BEWARE OF TEMPTATION. Gal.6:1 ...But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.

Gal.5: 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.1Cor.10:12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall

Rom.15: 1 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves

WE SOW, GOD MULTIPLIES Rom.15:2 Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up

If the work be of God, He Himself will provide the means for its accomplishment.. The sower multiplies his seed by casting it away. E.G. White

And He who ministers seed to the sower will cause the seed to germinate and bear fruit unto eternal life. E. G. White

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom Luke 6:38

BURDEN BEARING. Matt.7: 12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

Gal.6: 3 If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves.

Finally, God calls us to bear the burdens of others because it is through our actions that God’s comfort is made manifest

Human friendship, in which we bear one another’s burdens, is part of the purpose of God for His people. John R. W. Stott

Galatians 6:2-5 Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, ⁵ for each one should carry their own load.

WHAT ON EARTH AM I HERE FOR? Gal.5: 5 For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope

Gen.15: 6 Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.

Eze.6: 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

Ezek.36: 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.

THE LAW OF CHRIST. Galatians 6:2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

1Cor.9: 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law.

Galatians 5: ¹⁴ For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”^[a

...similar terminology with Gal5:14 suggest that “fulfilling the law of Christ” is another reference to fulfilling the moral law through love

Paul showed earlier in his letter that the moral law was not annulled with the coming of Christ.

Instead, the moral law interpreted by love continues to play an important role in the Christian life

Rom.7:21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me

Matt.11: 28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest…30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

JESUS' JACKET.Gal.2: 20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me

Gal.2: 20..The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Eph.2: 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.

Serve as Christ did. We were created to do good works. Anything we do, big or small, to enhance God’s kingdom, is valuable in His sight. Ralna

Let go and let God. “Jesus is enough for you. Look what He has done for me! ”Ralna Simmonds,

SOWING AND REAPING. Gal.6: 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Paul’s point is that people may ignore God or even flout His commandments, but they cannot outwit God

Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

A modern equivalent is that we are free to choose, but we are not free to choose the consequences of our choice. James D.G. Dunn

We can rejoice that God has forgiven us of our sins and adopted us as His children.

We should capitalize on the opportunities we have now to invest in those things that will yield a heavenly harvest.

NO STRINGS ATTACHED. Salvation is free. This means that there is nothing we can do to obtain righteousness. Lilith Scarlett

Our works do not count in this equation. What counts is Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. Lilith Scarlett, Mandeville, Jamaica

Then we will truly understand that without faith, righteousness is impossible. Lilith Scarlett, Mandeville, Jamaica

What are some of the “faith things” that we do daily? Lilith Scarlett, Mandeville, Jamaica, West Indies

CONCLUSION

It is because men sowed seeds of evil, that lawlessness, crime, and violence prevailed in the antediluvian world.

God gives sufficient light and evidence to enable man to distinguish truth from error. But He does not force man to receive truth. E.G.White

SUMMARY. The indication of God’s presence among His people is in the Christlike spirit manifest within the church. It can be seen in the way forgiveness and restoration are extended to those who err, in how they help each other in trials and in intentional acts of kindness shared not only among themselves but also with unbelievers

Gal.6: 18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.

THE HIGH NOTE. The book of Galatians closes with a challenging call to Spirit-filled living, Christ-centered giving, and love-filled sharing.

THE HIGH NOTE: When we accept Christ’s righteousness, we walk in newness of life. Dwain Esmond

Mat.28:20.And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.Eph5:9for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth

Phil.1:21 For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain.

1Cor13:2 and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing

IN WHICH SANCTUARY DO YOU WORSHIP ?

REMEMBER...THE SANCTUARY REPRESENTS THE RESIDENCE OF GOD, THE COMMUNION WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE WORK OF JESUS FOR THE SALVATION OF THE HUMAN RACE:

1) THE CREATION IS A SANCTUARY OF GOD THE CREATOR, THUS IS THE SABBATH THAT REMINDS US OF THIS, AS WE ADORE GOD

2) JESUS IN THE EARTHLY SANCTUARY AND IN THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY WITH A PLAN AND A SACRIFICE FOR US, AND IN THE PRAYER OF GRACE, AS WE KNOW WHERE WE'RE COMING FROM AND WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH HIS POWER: Justification by Faith

3) JESUS IN OUR HEART FOR REDEMPTION IS A SANCTUARY AS IS OUR BODY, TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, BOTH HONOR GOD IN OUR BEHAVIOR: The work of Sanctification

4) GOD'S HISTORICAL WORK OF SALVATION IS A SANCTUARY IN THE FAITH, FROM THE MIRACLES OF THE PAST UNTIL THE PROPHECY THAT SUSTAINS US FOR A GLORIOUS FUTURE

5) THE CHURCH IS A SANCTUARY AS IN THE ASSEMBLY OF SAINTS IN RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND WITH EACH OTHER

6) THE GOSPEL AS PREACHED TO THE ENTIRE WORLD BY CHRISTIANS IS A SANCTUARY, IN THE FIELD OF MISSION, JESUS IS WITH US UNTIL THE END OF THIS WORLD

7) HEAVEN, THE RESIDENCE OF GOD IS THE SANCTUARY WE'RE GOING TO AS IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD ALREADY IN OUR MIND PERFECTED BY THE POWER OF HIS WORD, JESUS-CHRIST

You should worship in all of these sanctuaries, as they are the same and one, they complete each other, and there is not one without the others

Revival will happen this time, And This Is How:

Friends,

Revival will happen this time, and this is the way: If we ask God for that, and if we ask God to give us His Holy Spirit and pray for each other, even for people we're not comfortable with in the church, and pray for our enemies. This is one of the things that God won't refuse. We don't have to be worried about asking God if this is His will, as it is always His will. Let's do HIs will. As simple as that...

THE THREE ANGELS MESSAGE

The Proclamations of Three Angels

REVELATIONS 14:

6 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people—

7 saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”

8 And another angel followed, saying, “Babylon[f] is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”

9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand,

10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”

12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those[g] who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me,[h] “Write: ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’”“Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them.”

JESUS APPEARS TO JOHN IN REVELATION TO TELL HIM ABOUT THE END

Revelation 10 New King James Version (NKJV)

The Mighty Angel with the Little Book

10 I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. 2 He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, 3 and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices. 4 Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices,[a] I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me,[b] “Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.”

5 The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand[c] to heaven 6 and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, THAT THERE SHOULD BE DELAY NO LONGER, 7 but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

AS JESUS WITH ARCHANGEL GABRIEL APPEARED TO DANIEL AND TOLD HIM ABOUT THE END

JESUS AND THE ARCHANGEL GABRIEL APPEAR WITH POWER TO THE PROPHET DANIEL at the end of his prophetic writings to announce the historic events leading to the end in Daniel 10 to 12

Daniel 10 New King James Version (NKJV)

Vision of the Glorious Man

4 Now on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, that is, the Tigris,[b] 5 I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man clothed in linen, whose waist was girded with gold of Uphaz! 6 His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like torches of fire, his arms and feet like burnished bronze in color, and the sound of his words like the voice of a multitude.

16 And suddenly, one having the likeness of the sons[c] of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke, saying to him who stood before me, “My lord, because of the vision my sorrows have overwhelmed me, and I have retained no strength.

Daniel 12 New King James Version (NKJV)

The times of the end

7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.

8 Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?”

9 And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 10 Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.

11 “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

Jesus leading us

Joshua 5:13–15

The Commander of the Army of the Lord

13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, oa Man stood opposite him pwith His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?” 14 So He said, “No, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” And Joshua qfell on his face to the earth and rworshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?” 15 Then the Commander of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, s“Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy.” And Joshua did so.

SPIRITUAL POWERS

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (NIV)4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have Divine Power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Ephesians 6:12 (NIV) For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

IT'S A SO MUCH NEEDED OUTLINE OF THE SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON

The idea is to stress the biblical answers to the most relevant points, and to stress applications in a very direct way, using the comments of the official sabbath school lesson only and the verses of the Bible. It may be used by teachers as a summary, and by students as an outline, not to replace actual study. It's usually ready by Saturday night eventually. PLEASE SHARE WITH PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE CHURCH TO PROMOTE SABBATH SCHOOL ANNEX. You may share it now in French: www.ese9.blogspot.com

However, sometimes relevant citations from the Ellen White Estates will be posted instead in order to bring more light to the subject of the week. In which case you may visit www.twitter.com/sabbathschool also
