In 1898 and 1899, A. T. Jones wrote, in the Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, a series of articles on Faith.
He used a statement by Ellen G. White as the basis for this series and they are well worth the reading and understanding.
Abraham received the promise of an heir and an inheritance, as recorded in Gen. 15:1-5; and verse 6 says, "He believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.” In James 2:21-23 we are informed that the scripture quoted above had its fulfilment when Abraham offered up his son Isaac, about forty years after the events had occurred in connection with which the statement was made.

GOD chose us in Christ “before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love” (Eph. 1:4).
We are in the ongoing process of posting a new series written by A. T. Jones on the Holy Spirit!
These articles are being placed in a 'book' format and can be found under the heading "BOOKS." Each article has an individual PDF download available at the end of each article. When everything is completed, there will also be a single PDF made available containing the entire 'book' on the Holy Spirit.

“He who has died has been freed from sin” (Rom. 6:7).
Are you freed from sin? If not, do you not see exactly where the difficulty lies?
There stands the truth of God, that “he who has died has been freed from sin.” Then if you are not freed from sin, the only cause of it is that you are not dead.
Excerpt: "And thus it is that for the sins which we have actually committed, for the sins that are past,
