Christ Triumphant

Christ Triumphant - A Devotional by E.G. White All Revelation in Scripture Comes from Jesus Christ Today's Text: 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 The Message:      The whole Bible is a revelation, for all revelation to men comes through Christ and all centers in Him. God has spoken unto us by His Son, whose we are by creation and by redemption. Christ came to John, exiled on the isle of Patmos, to give him the truth for these last days, to show him that which must shortly come to pass. Jesus Christ is the great trustee of divine revelation. It is through Him that we have a knowledge of what we are to look for in the...

Christ Triumphant - A Devotional by E.G. White The Death Decree Against God's People Today's Text: And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day. Esther 3:13 The Message:      Satan will excite the indignation of apostate Christendom against the humble remnant who conscientiously refuse to accept false customs and traditions.  Blinded by the prince of darkness, popular religionists will see only as he see, and feel as he feels. They will determine as he determines, and oppress as he has oppressed. Liberty of conscience, which has cost this nation so great a sacrifice, will no longer be respected. The church and the world will unite, and the world will lend to the church po...

Christ Triumphant - A Devotional by E.G. White The Holy Spirit Helps Discern Truth From Error Today's Text: For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance. 1 Thessalonians 1:5 The Message:       It is the truth as it is in Jesus that quickens the conscience and transforms the mind, for it is accompanied to the heart by the Holy Spirit. Without the enlightenment of the Spirit of God, we shall not be able to discern truth from error, and shall fall under the masterful temptations and deceptions that Satan will bring upon the world. We are near the close of the controversy between the Prince of light and the prince of darkness, and soon the delusions of the enemy will try our faith, of what sort it is.  Satan will work miracles in the sight of t...

Christ Triumphant - A Devotional by E.G. White Not Only Believe, But Do the Will of the Father Today's Text: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 7:21 The Message:      Holiness means perfect obedience to God's law-"Thou shalt" and "Thou shalt not." Those who pay no heed to this law, except to tear it down by their unsanctified actions, are in rebellion against God and cannot possibly be holy. Not only do they break the law themselves, but by their transgression they teach others to break it; and unless they repent, heavy will be their punishment.        Christ declared, " Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil...

Christ Triumphant - A Devotional by E.G. White Take Care In Receiving "New Light" Today's Text: We have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:16 The Message:      We are to pray for divine enlightenment, and at the same time we should be careful about receiving everything termed new light.  We must beware, lest, under cover of searching for new truth, we allow Satan to divert our minds from Christ and the special truths for this time. I have been shown that it is the device of the enemy to divert minds to some obscure or unimportant point, something that is not fully revealed or is not essential to salvation....       We must let the principles of the third angel's message stand out clear and distin...
