  1. THE WAY INTOTHE SANCTUARYPART II THE EXCHANGE OF LIFE By Calvin Mariano www.searchshareministry.com

  2. The Sanctuary

  3. The Overview of the way of Salvation

  4. I. Courtyard: Christ’s earthly ministries • Beside the altar (offering of blood, etc.) —Justification (sinner, priest and sacrifice) Entrance into the trial of faith. • Upon the altar (burning; fats, internal organs, body parts, etc.)—Sanctification (priest, sacrifice and the altar).

  5. 3. The cleansing at the laver (the priest passport to the ministry of the altar and the sanctuary; Christ’s baptism and crucifixion)—the way to justification and sanctification.

  6. The sacrifice: Second probation granted • . . . Never can we understand the value of the human soul until we realize the great sacrifice made for the redemption of the soul upon Calvary. Adam’s sin in Eden plunged the human race into hopeless misery. But in the scheme of salvation a way has been provided for all to escape if they comply with the requirements. A second probation has been granted by the sacrifice of the Son of God. We have a battle to fight, but we can come off victor through the merits of Christ’s blood. {CTr 215.2}

  7. The two ways (laver): Christ our priest (westward), Christ our sacrifice (eastward)

  8. 4. The atonement of the altar of burnt offering during the day of atonement—the cleansing from sin is accomplished, God and His people are glorified

  9. II. Sanctuary: Christ’s heavenly ministries: • Holy Place—Sanctification to Perfection (ministration in the altar of burnt offerings and the altar of incense). • Most Holy Place—Perfection and Glorification during the Day of Atonement (Atoning of the 3 places; the most holy place, the altar of incense, and the altar of burnt offerings)

  10. The Two Way Ministries • The ministries from the courtyard into the Sanctuary: • Justification (courtyard) (earnest of salvation, Christ’s sacrifice opened the second probation and the trial of faith) • Sanctification (Holy Place) (trial of faith) • Perfection (Most Holy Place) (completion of the early phase of atonement in the Most Holy Place).

  11. The ministries from the Most Holy Place to the courtyard: Glorification: vindication of God’s character, His law and His people before the whole universe Most Holy place (final phase)—the law and the Saints’ vindicated, God is glorified. Holy place—Saint’s record finally cleared Courtyard—Satan condemned, sin is eradicated, the saints are glorified, and God’s character is vindicated before the whole universe.

  12. Vindication of God’s people • From age to age the Lord has made known the manner of His working. When a crisis has come, He has revealed Himself, and has interposed to hinder the working out of Satan's plans. With nations, with families, and with individuals, He has often permitted matters to come to a crisis, that His interference might become marked. Then He has made manifest that there is a God in Israel who will maintain His law and vindicate His people. {COL 178.2}

  13. The Meaning of the Steps of Salvation • Justification: forgiveness and the exchange of life, the sprouting of the seed, entrance to the trial of faith. • Sanctification: growing the character of Christ; the growing into maturity, going through the trial of faith. • Perfection: the fruition of Sanctification, the fruit of Christ’s righteousness; the fruit, the victory in the trial of faith. • Glorification: the completion of Salvation, the vindication of God’s character ; the harvest, the crowning of righteousness and life.

  14. Vindication of God’s character • Just before us is the closing struggle of the great controversy when, with "all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness," Satan is to work to misrepresent the character of God, that he may "seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.“…

  15. But not so when the great controversy shall be ended. Then, the plan of redemption having been completed, the character of God is revealed to all created intelligences. The precepts of His law are seen to be perfect and immutable. Then sin has made manifest its nature, Satan his character. Then the extermination of sin will vindicate God's love and establish His honor before a universe of beings who delight to do His will, and in whose heart is His law. {DA 764.3}

  16. …If there was ever a people in need of constantly increasing light from heaven, it is the people that, in this time of peril, God has called to be the depositaries of His holy law and to vindicate His character before the world. Those to whom has been committed a trust so sacred must be spiritualized, elevated, vitalized, by the truths they profess to believe. 616 {CCh 345.6}

  17. The Glorification of Christ • The Father gave all honor to His Son, seating Him at His right hand, far above all principalities and powers. He expressed His great joy and delight in receiving the Crucified One, and crowning Him with glory and honor. And all the favors He has shown to His Son in His acceptance of the great atonement, are shown to His people. Those who have united their interests in love with Christ are accepted in the Beloved…

  18. The Glorification of Christ • …They suffered with Christ in His deepest humiliation, and His glorification is of great interest to them, because they are accepted in Him. God loves them as He loves His Son. Christ, Emmanuel, stands between God and the believer, revealing the glory of God to His chosen ones, and covering their defects and transgressions with the garments of His own spotless righteousness. {OHC 53.2}

  19. The Glorification of the Saints • Revelation 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

  20. I. CHRIST’S RIGHTEOUSNESS—THE ATTRACTION • The White Curtains Around The Courtyard—the Purity, And Righteousness Of God In Christ—Ps 51:7; Lam 4:7; Dan 11:35; 12:10; Rev. 15:6;19:8.Revelation 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

  21. Purity of Christ lead us to the Sanctuary for repentance • The purity and holiness of Christ, the spotless righteousness of Him who did no sin, was a perpetual reproach upon all sin in a world of sensuality and sin… Now in Christ he saw God revealed in His true character--a compassionate, merciful Father, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to Him in repentance, and have eternal life. {LHU 28.4}

  22. The True Repentance • No man can originate the repentance which is essential for the saving of the soul. He can no more bring himself to repentance than he can bring about his own conversion. Repentance is born in the heart by beholding the love of Christ, who gave His life to save the sinner. It is the love of God that softens the hardest hearts. {RH, September 3, 1901 par. 7}

  23. COURTYARD GATE, TENT’S DOOR—CHRIST, THE DOOR OF SALVATION • Exodus 27:16 And for the gate of the court shall be an hanging of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework: and their pillars shall be four, and their sockets four.

  24. THE THREECOLOREDDOOR • Exodus 26:36 And thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework.

  25. THE NARROW GATE • Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

  26. Christ—the Door or Gate • John 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep… 9. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. • Note: Christ—the Door or Gate (thura, Greek; door or gate-- same word)

  27. The Three Colors Symbolisms • 1. THE BLUE—GOD'S LAW (Num 15:37) • 2. THE PURPLE---ROYALTY (Jdg 8:26; Mrk 15:17-20) • 3. THE SCARLET—SAVIOUR (Isa 1:8; 2 Kng 3:22; Heb 9:14,15)

  28. Blue--a reminder of obedience • Numbers 15: 37. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 38. Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:

  29. 39. And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:

  30. Purple—a reminder of loyalty • Judges 8:26 And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that were about their camels' necks.

  31. Mark 15:17-20 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his [head], And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing [their] knees worshipped him. And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.

  32. Red—a reminder of sacrifice • Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. • 2 Kings 3:22 And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood:

  33. Hebrew 9:13, 14 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

  34. The Color And The Sinner The conditions of repentance, the entrance into the trial of faith

  35. 1. Repentance from breaking law • THE BLUE—GOD'S LAW (Num 15:37) Broken or transgressed (1Jn 3:4) • 1John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

  36. 2. Repentance from rebellion and mockery against the Creator • THE PURPLE—ROYALTY (Jdg 8:26; Mrk 15:17-20) Mocked Christ’s Lordship. • Mark 15:20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.

  37. 3. Repentance from crucifying the Son of God • THE SCARLET—CRUCIFIED SAVIOUR (Isa 1:8; 2Kng 3:22; Heb 9:14,15) Crucified Christ (Heb 6:6). • 1John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

  38. The Color—Christ’s Ministries Christ’s gift to repentant sinners

  39. 1. Christ, our Righteousness • THE BLUE—GOD'S LAW (Num 15:37) Christ, our obedience and enforcer (Rom. 10:4, Jn 14:15) • Romans 10:4 For Christ [is] the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth..

  40. 2. Christ, our Lord • THE PURPLE---ROYALTY (Jdg 8:26; Mrk 15:17-20) Christ our King (Rev 19:16). • Philippians 2:9-11 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth; And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

  41. 3. Christ, our Saviour • THE SCARLET—SAVIOUR (Isa 1:8; 2 Kings 3:22; Heb 9:14,15) Christ, our High Priest and Sacrifice—the Savior. • Hebrews 2:17, 18 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things [pertaining] to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

  42. Justification • The Lord Jesus is the Maker of the mind which man has debased and enfeebled by sin. The central power of the earth's fallen subjects is a demon. He has set up his throne in the world. Christ proposes the means of recovery through the great work of redemption. "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.“…

  43. …The Lord Jesus, through sacrificing His life upon the cross, purposed by the agency of the Holy Spirit to bring man to see his position as a sinner and surrender his will to God's will. He will sanctify every soul that will receive the gracious gift, and [will] give him power to become a son of God. He takes away the destructive tendencies of the sinful nature and brings the human agency into His service. {18MR 208.2}
