ME: Why do Seventh-Day Adventist Christians worship on the Biblical Sabbath and believe that God means for us to obey all ten of His moral laws, when eternal salvation is obtained only through the grace God gave us in the sacrificial death of Jesus on the cross? More to the sharp point of relevance for our time, why do Seventh-Day Adventist teach from the Bible that the “mark of the beast” is a law that forces the whole world to keep Sunday as the holy day of worship and to not keep the Biblical Sabbath? The answers have to do with God’s last message of warning and love to this Earth before Jesus returns to it- it is the message found in the very center of the book of Revelation. It is the message for our time..
WALTER VEITH: “If I keep the Law, I am acknowledging a higher power than myself; and if I keep it exactly like He said, I am acknowledging His authority. Is that correct? So whose righteousness am I acknowledging? Jesus’…. In actual fact, by keeping the law, if you do it right, you are propagating righteousness by faith. You are acknowledging His superiority in your life. You are acknowledging your dependence on Him, and you come in line with His wishes because you are acknowledging His fullness of understanding. So, the ‘mark of the beast’ message involves ‘righteousness by faith’ and obedience as a consequence. As simple as that.”
