Our unique 1888 message teaches just what the Bible says, “God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved” (John 3:17). Our evangelistic message is that Christ has reversed “the result of one [Adam’s] misdeed [which] was condemnation for all people, so the result of one righteous act [the cross] is acquittal and life for all” (Rom. 5:18, Revised English Bible).

From the creation week, only the Sabbath remains untouched by sin, and its observance is to keep in mind the creative power of God. But creative power is the power of the Gospel, so that which celebrates creation also celebrates redemption. ... The power that saves men is but the power that created the heavens and the earth. He imparts His grace by the same mysterious and mighty power by which He created the earth.

  We commence a new cycle of thirteen lessons on the study of God. The “Godhead” is a Good News Bible teaching (Rom. 1:20, Col. 2:9). The 1888 message focuses our attention upon the one nature of the three persons of the Godhead as agape (1 John 4:8). The knowledge that we have of God is by His initiative of revelation. Agape is the source of faith which is given to every man (Gal. 5:6). So we have the capacity to know with the mind and believe with the heart there is one God composed of three beings (John 10:38).
