My friend, the righteousness of Christ must be impressed upon all that will receive the seal of God. The message that was given to the church in 1888 was Christ our righteousness. While this message was accepted outwardly by the leadership of the church, in practice they followed the law; in essence they followed their own wisdom over the wisdom of God in Christ Jesus.
The impress of Christ upon the character can only be perfected if He is living within the heart. While the law is holy, and righteous, and good, it has no power to transform the life. "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." (Romans 8:3, 4).
Today the church has lost its anchor, it has lost sight of the righteousness of Christ. Since the introduction and eventual acceptance of the trinity into the church, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God has been forsaken for a counterfeit Christ called "God the Son", who is not truly the Son of God, but only a metaphor, meaning not literally true. In forsaking Christ the church was left without the righteousness of God give to us through His Son. Thus the people have looked unto the righteousness of the law to fill its place. But sadly the righteousness of the law cannot transform their hearts, thus they struggle with the sinful desires of the heart, while like the Jews of old, they present the outward show of good works.
This terrible condition is revealed to us by the Faithful and True Witness of God in the message to the the Laodicean Church. "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:" (Revelation 3:15-17).
The remedy for their condition reveals the reason for being in this condition. "I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see." (Revelation 3:18). They need white raiment because they do not have the righteousness of Christ.
My friend, if we are to receive the seal of God in the trials of the last days we must have the righteousness of Christ. This cannot be obtained by the law. We must have the Spirit of Christ living within our hearts. The trinity is a false representation of God and as such has blinded the minds of the people. They cannot see their wretchedness because the trinity has the outward appearance of God, but in reality is not.
It is time for us to heed the warning from the Faithful and True Witness of God. "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." (Revelation 3:19, 20). Wont you look away from the false god of the trinity unto the One true God through his Son Jesus Christ today?
God bless,
