---Satan,
like Joshua with torn clothes due to persecution, Advocate Jesus before the
Graceful Father in the Investigative Judgment.
---Us with
our baggage of sinfulness. Our memory burnt into our conscience as scars. Why
scars? We have given up sin.
---EGW says
Satan knows our sins since he was the R&D of each sin in us.
---He knows
our sins. He knows the damage it caused to others.
---We did the
same, he says to Christ and do you want to save him/her for doing exactly what
we did?
---What is
Christ’s answer: They repented. The begged for forgiveness. They got it. They
converted their lives. They worked together with the Holy Spirit to put behind
them their past history of sin. And was victorious. You, Satan, refused when we
begged for you to do the same. Right?
---Patriarchs and Prophets said the angels
begged for him and the other angels to repent. But they refused.
---God gives
all creatures equal chance. He begs with everyone. But when they refuse and
reject they bear the consequences of their actions in Judgment.
---Ellen
White wraps it up very beautifully:
“’ But while the followers of Christ have sinned, they
have not given themselves to the control of evil. They have put away their
sins, and have sought the Lord in humility and contrition, and the divine
Advocate pleads in their behalf. He who has been most abused by their
ingratitude, who knows their sin, and also their repentance, declares:
‘ “The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan.” I gave My life for these souls. They
are graven upon the palms of My hands.’ ”—Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, pp. 473, 474.
---They put
away their sins. Satan did not and did not want to. That is the major
difference. Case closed.
---So where
are you?
---Before
confession or after confession. Before victory or after victory?
---The case
is individual. Your pastor father cannot help you. Your faithful mother is not
going to help you. You need to make the choice yourselves.
---Can I wait
until I am old and then quickly believe? No, said the pastor to the young
person asking him. He said, how do you know when you will die? It can be
tonight or tomorrow and waiting is too late. Right?
---So when is
the time. Right now. Immediately give your heart to God. Get the heavenly bus
ticket immediately. Solved completely for this moment.
---The longer
you live there will be more time to do more for Christ but get Christ on your
side immediately. Give up self and self-importance. Humble yourself. Right?
Thanks.
