The website 1888 Most Precious Message has posted an article by E. J. Waggoner titled "The Object of the Sabbath." In it Dr. Waggoner makes the following statement:
The Sabbath is the memorial of creation, but redemption is creation. David prayed, "Create in me a clean heart." Psalm 51:1. "If any man is in Christ, he is a new creature." 2 Corinthians 5:17. The gospel "is the power of God unto salvation," (Romans 1:16), and the power of God is seen only in the things that he has made. Verse 29. So the power of the gospel is the power that created the worlds. Therefore, the Sabbath, in commemoration of creation, makes known to man the power of God to save from sin. As it calls to remembrance the power of God as shown in the works of his hands, it reminds us of the words of the apostle: "By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained, that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:8-10
E. J. Waggoner was one of the 1888 Messengers. It is reported that the notes of Dr. Waggoner's presentations at the 1888 Conference were turned into three books. This is one of those three books. It was the first book by the Messengers that I ever read and its power is still felt every time I pick it up.
In this book, Dr. Waggoner points to the Righteousness of Christ as our only hope to make it out of this world. Download the file here.
One of my favorite Authors, E. J. Waggoner had an article entitled "The Sabbath and the Cross" in The Present Truth of July 20, 1893. You can find the full article at 1888 Most Precious Message. In that article, Waggoner states:
(W)e find that the Sabbath was given to man at the close of the creation of the earth, before the fall. It is an institution of Eden. See the second chapter of Genesis. Therefore the keeping of it as it was given, must bring something of Eden into this wicked world.
E. J. Waggoner provides a brief exposition of Hebrews 4:9. What is the rest that remains for the people of God. The document is read by Sherman Haywood Cox II.
Someone contacted me through email asking, "Why do you publish information on A. T. Jones and E. J. Waggoner?" The short answer is, because I love the way that they seek to teach both Gospel and Adventism at the same time. However a little more indepth answer appears below.
This is the first episode of the Lessons on Faith Podcast. In this episode our speaker, Sherman Haywood Cox II, reads the first chapter of the book Lessons on Faith.
This chapter by Elder E. J. Waggoner is entitled "Living by Faith." Many wonder how to live the Christian life. Is the Christian life meant to be one defeat after another? Is it even possible to think about spiritual victory when the foe is so powerful? How can we even live a victorious life?
These and other questions are answered by Elder Waggoner in this podcast.
What is the Sabbath of the Lord and what does it have to do with Salvation? Waggoner begins to tackle these questions in this audio reading. Our Speaker, Sherman Haywood Cox II, reads a selection from E. J. Waggoner.
