A Comparison of Three Contrasting Views

Chapter 26

Sanctuary Truth

a. No concept whatever of the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary as a work parallel to, or consistent with, righteousness by faith. "Have no knowledge of the way into the most Holy, and they cannot be benefited by the intercession of Jesus there" (EW, p. 261).

b. Most of our people have no concept at all of the cleansing of the sanctuary as a work vital to genuine righteousness by faith, or closely related to it. Reluctance to preach sanctuary truth for fear of identification with "offshoots" or so-called "perfectionism."

c. It is truly impossible to understand the kind of righteousness by faith that will prepare a people for the coming the Lord apart from a clear grasp of the sanctuary truth in its final phase. Otherwise both "doctrines" are sterile.
