What did you think of the Lesson Study this week? Personally I thought it had some trouble. Great topic. But the author did seem to struggle. I think he was trying to appease both sides of Adventism. However .... I did appreciate Tuesday's Lesson on Salvation especially this part: The means of salvation is Christ's blood (1 John 1:7; 5"6.8); that is His atoning sacrifice (1 John 2:2,4:10). The Cross is not mentioned in 1 John directly. However,, blood and atoning sacrifice point to the Cross. It is not the example of Jesus that saves us, as important as that is. It is His death. And yet, His example calls us to walk as He did (1 John 2:6) This clearly explains the Gospel. What think you?

I was just wondering what is meant here. My first impression is that you are speaking of faith and works. Is that accurate?

By eating His flesh and drinking His blood, Accepting His teachings, we become cleansed inside. I think this is a sanctuary cleansing process.
Jesus made atoning sacrifice throughout His entire life. His entire life as God in the flesh was a sacrifice. And yes,the wages of sin is death. Jesus paid the infinite price for all with His death.

Sorry Redwood I can't help you as far as the lesson goes. But I can keep you company here waiting for someone to answer you. Our SS class does not study the lesson quarterly. But isn't there a statement in the Bible about truth. I'm going to look and find it and see if its what I'm looking for and than let you know.

The statement I am looking for doesn't seem to be in the Bible, I'm now wondering if it was a statement by EGW?
