1888 Message Study : 1888 Message Study Committee Mission Statement

Righteousness by Faith in Christ

1888 Message Study Committee, a group of believers dedicated to the message of Christ our Righteousness.

Let me tell you that the Lord will work in this last work in a manner very much out of the common order of things, and in a way that will be contrary to any human planning. There will be those among us who will always want to control the work of God, to dictate even what movements shall be made when the work goes forward under the direction of the angel who joins the third angel in the message to be given to the world. God will use ways and means by which it will be seen that He is taking the reins in His own hands. The workers will be surprised by the simple means that He will use to bring about and perfect His work of righteousness. Last Day Events 203.3

1888 Message Study Committee Mission Statement

Moved by a heart appreciation for our Father’s saving work through Jesus Christ our Lord, this committee was formed for the following purposes:

1. To study the everlasting gospel in the context of Revelation 14 and 18 as revealed in the following sources:

A. Scripture.

B. The testimony of Ellen G. White.

C. The special message the Lord sent the church from 1888 to approximately 1896 through A.T.Jones and E.J.Waggoner.

2. To share this gospel of the agape of Christ, in this time of the cleansing of the sanctuary, as the essential motivation for repentance, revival, reformation, and service.

3. To support the mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church through cooperating with its evangelistic outreach, personal soul-winning, holding seminars and conferences, producing publications, and the use of other media.

4. To promote unity in the Seventh-day Adventist Church by fostering loyalty to the church and its fundamental beliefs, financially supporting the church through tithes and offerings*, praying for and encouraging the leadership of the church at all levels, and participating in local church activities.
