The Science of Salvation Also

Eugene favors the gospel truths of how to gain power in your Christian experience to make it the real thing—not some phony that looks right but denies the power thereof. He has found something substantial that offers eternal life to the sin sick soul seeking hope, life, and purpose to the disciple of Jesus Christ. He teaches that real Christianity is not a clean and immaculate home, car, and clothing but a clean heart cleansed of all that would defile the heart springs of life. There is too much emphasis on the outer life whereas Jesus Christ taught of a clean heart and mind as the core of religion and faith.

The falsehearted and unfaithful disciples of Jesus are presented in Scripture as chaff or refuse of the wheat and is of no use whatsoever to the farmer seeking grain to feed his household. The true wheat is the soul who has a good and obedient heart to obey God and seek His face. Eugene has dug deeply into the core-kingdom truth that is essential to the Christian who would make his calling and election sure (Jude 3). Christians and, more particularly, Seventh-day Adventists “major in minors and minor in majors” when they should major in majors foremost before anything else should be incorporated. Eugene seeks to explain why Christians should seek for God primarily in the Word of God, for God is to be found in the scriptures. For “they are they which testify of me,” said Christ.

Eugene explains why we need to be holy first before we can keep the Ten Commandments holy, just as Ellen G. White said. How do you get holy to keep the Ten Commandments holy in the first place is among the subjects in his book.
