“…Our acts, our words, even our most secret motives, all have their weight in deciding our destiny for weal or woe. Though they may be forgotten by us, they will bear their testimony to justify or condemn, They go before us into judgment. The use of every talent will be scrutinized.” The Spirit of Prophecy pg.331
As I understand it, my deeds and sins and forgotten mis-deads with become the basis of my justification or condemnation and will be reviewed in the Investigative Judgment. As written in several places EGW says that all believes since Adam are undergoing the “searching scrutiny of Christ’s investigative judgment to determine if men are worthy of Eternal life.”
Here is where I am specifically confused. I quote the essence of a Bible verse and you can look it up in context. Why is Jesus reviewing my sins when:
1. The central promise of the New Covenant is that “your sins and iniquities, I will remember their sins and iniquities no more.” Jeremiah 31:34, Hebrews 8:12,10:17
2. Jesus said: “He who believes in me will not come into condemnation (judgment) but is passed from death to life.”
3. Paul wrote: “There is therefore now no condemnation (judgment) to those who are in Christ Jesus…” Romans 8:1 “I give to them eternal life, and they shall not ever (literally) perish.”
4. Writer to the Hebrews, “For by the one offering (of the cross) He has made us perfect forever.” Hebrews 10:14
5. “Paul wrote to Titus , …” not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us.” Titus 3:5
6. Paul wrote in the first two chapter of Ephesians that believers are “seated in the heavenlies, sealed by the Spirit until the day of redemption, blessed us with every spiritual blessing, having obtained the inheritance, we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
If all these things are true, then why should I become an Adventist with its uncertainty and insecurity. EGW used the word “probation” over 1000 times in reference to believers in her writings, but the Bible never uses it once. I John 5:11-12 says that “he that has the Son has eternal life.” Rethinkingadventism.com
