Devinity of Christ Humanity of Christ
Jesus on Earth was GOD and Man at the same time. As Man He had our Sinful Flesh. In Spirit and Character He was completely Sinless. His Temtation was Two-Fold:
1 He was temted in the Flesh (War between Spirit and Flesh).
2 He was temted to use His divinity. He was fully
dependent upon His Hevenly Father. He had to pray and plead, to believe
the Word of GOD and to be Filled with GOD’s SPIRIT.

2 Cor. 6: 16 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on My Way toward Judaea.
2 Cor. 5: 1 For we know that if our earthly house of this Tabernacle were dissolved, we have a Building of GOD, an House not made with hands, Eternal in the Heavens. 2 For in this we groan,
earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our House which is from Heaven: 3 If so be that being clothed
we shall not be found Naked.
4 For we that are in this Tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but
clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
1 Cor. 6: 19 What? know ye not that your Body is the Temple
of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of
GOD, and ye are not
your own?
1 Cor. 3: 16 Know ye not that ye are the
temple of GOD, and that the Spirit of GOD
dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple
of GOD, him shall GOD destroy;
for the temple of GOD is Holy, which temple ye are.
Lev 26: 11 And I set My Tabernacle among you: and My Soul shall not abhor you. 12 And I will walk among you,
and will be your GOD, and ye shall be My people.

Glorify
GOD in your body, and in your spirit,
which are GOD's.
1 Sam 16: 7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his
stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the
outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the
heart.
Rom 12: 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of GOD, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, Holy, acceptable unto GOD, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be
not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your
mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of
GOD.
Eph.4: 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
Eph. 3: 16 That He would grant you,
according to the riches of His Glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by Faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

When Created, Adam was in the
Image of GOD in Body and Spirit. He was Perfect in all His Faculties (Outward Man) and Perfect in the Spirit of His
Mind (Inward Man)
Unconveerted
Because of the fall, all men
are born with a degenerate body (Outward Man) and a sinful heart (Inward Mand).

course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the
spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and
were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Jer.17: 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and
desperately wicked: who can know it?

Pslm. 14: 1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no GOD. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that
doeth good.
2 The LORD looked down from Heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand,
and seek GOD.
3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is
none that doeth good, no, not one.
Christ on Earth
“Christ became one flesh with us, in order
that we might become one Spirit with
Him.” Desire of Ages page 388. He Possessed Man’s Degenerate
Body, the whole human organism with its weakened powers.
Hbr. 2: 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh
and blood, He(Jesus) also Himself likewise took
part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For verily He
took not on Him the nature of
angels; but He took on Him the seed of Abraham. 17 Wherefore in all things it behoved Him
to be made like unto His brethren,
that He might be a merciful and faithful High
Priest in things pertaining to GOD, to make reconciliation for
the sins of the people.
Rom 1: 3 Concerning His
Son Jesus Christ our LORD, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

through the flesh, GOD sending His
Own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the
flesh:
Hbr. 5: 7 Who in the days of His
flesh, when He had offered up
prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto Him that was able to save Him from death, and was heard in that He feared;
Desire of
Ages page 49,117; Seventday Bible Comentary page

of the Father which hath sent Me.

Christ Resurrected
Our risen LORD has Glorified, immortal body.
Phil. 3: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be
fashioned like unto His Glorious Body, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things
unto Himself.
Rom 6: 9 Knowing that Christ being Raised
from the Dead dieth no
more; death hath no more dominion over Him.
10 For in that He Died, He Died unto sin once: but in that He Liveth, He Liveth unto GOD.
Converted
A new heart is not entire Holiness of heart.
Hbr. 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of
repentance from dead works, and of faith toward GOD,
2 Cor 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of GOD, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of GOD which is at Corinth, with all the Saints which are in all Achaia:
2 Cor 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let
us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting Holiness in the fear of GOD.
Phil. 3:10 That I may know him, and
the Power of His
Resurrection, and the fellowship of His
Sufferings, being made conformable unto His Death; 11 If by any means I might attain unto the Resurrection of the Dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were
already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which
also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
4T 496; 5T 397; 4T 55, 56
The record of sinremains in converted mind.
Jer. 17: 1 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of
a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their
heart, and upon the horns of your Altars;
Eze. 36: 31 Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your
doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for
your iniquities and for your abominations. DA 302; TM 447; COL 55,160, 161; 3BC 1158
Sealed
The judgment and final atonement provide final
cleansing of the mind.
Lev. 16: 30 For on that day shall the Priest(Jesus) make an atonement for you, to cleanse
you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
Mal.3: 1 Behold, I will send My Messenger, and He(Jesus) shall prepare the way before Me: and the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to His Temple, even
the Messenger of the Covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, He shall come, saith the LORD of Hosts. 2 But who may
abide the day of His Coming? and who shall stand when He Appeareth?
for He is like a Refiner's Fire, and
like Fullers' Soap: 3 And He shall
sit as a Refiner and Purifier of Silver: and He shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as Gold and Silver, that they may Offer unto the LORD an Offering in Righteousness.
Act. 3: 19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins
may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall
come from the presence of the LORD;
Jer.
50: 20 In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be
none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon
them whom I reserve.
Hbr. 10: 1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come,
and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which
they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto Perfect. 2 For
then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers
once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices
there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
Hbr. 10: 14 For by one offering He hath Perfected For Ever them that are Sanctified. 15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a Witness to us: for after that He had
said before, 16 This is the covenant that I
will make with them after those days, saith the LORD, I
will put My Laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 17 And
their sins and iniquities will I
remember no more. 18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more
offering for sin; PP 358, 202; GC 620; 3SG 135
The judgment of the living and latter rain bring complete
state of Holiness. 5T 475; TM 506;
Joel 2: 23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your GOD: for He
hath given you the former rain
moderately, and He will cause to
come down for you the rain, the former
rain, and the latter rain in the
first month.
Changed the Second Advent
At His coming Christ will change the mortal,
corruptible bodies of His Saints to Perfect, Immoral bodys.
Phil. 3: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be
fashioned like unto His Glorious Body, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto Himself.
1 Cor. 15: 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and
this mortal must put on Immortality.
