Friday: Further Thought – Reconciliation and Hope

By

Daily Lesson for Friday 27th of February 2026
Further Thought

“We have no righteousness of our own with which to meet the claims of the law of God.

Spectacles on Bible

But Christ has made a way of escape for us. . . . If you give yourself to Him, and accept Him as your Saviour, then, sinful as your life may have been, for His sake you are accounted righteous. Christ’s character stands in place of your character, and you are accepted before God just as if you had not sinned.

“More than this, Christ changes the heart. He abides in your heart by faith. You are to maintain this connection with Christ by faith and the continual surrender of your will to Him; and so long as you do this, He will work in you to will and to do according to His good pleasure. . . .

“So we have nothing in ourselves of which to boast. We have no ground for self-exaltation. Our only ground of hope is in the righteousness of Christ imputed to us, and in that wrought by His Spirit working in and through us.”—Ellen G. White, Steps to Christ, Pages 62, 63.

“The light given me has been very forcible that many would go out from us, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. The Lord desires that every soul who claims to believe the truth shall have an intelligent knowledge of what is truth.”—Ellen G. White, Evangelism, p. 363.

Discussion Questions

  1. Read again the memory text: “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). What does this mean? What does it mean that Christ became sin for us, and how should that help us understand the substitutionary nature of the Cross? Also, what does it mean to be “made the righteousness of God in him”?
  2. Dwell more on the question of “once saved, always saved,” which many Christians believe. Why do we believe that this is a false doctrine? What obvious dangers does it present to someone who believes this? How can we, even while rejecting that doctrine, still have assurance of salvation?
  3. How “grounded and steadfast” (Colossians 1:23, NKJV) in your faith are you? How well do you know what you believe and why you believe it? What can you do to know better what you believe? And why is it so important that you are “grounded and steadfast” in the faith?

“A New Frontier” – February 2026 President’s Video

By



Adventist World Radio’s focus has always been to reach the most difficult places in the world with the gospel message. And while this has often included the remote jungles of Africa, Asia and South America, we cannot forget the steel and concrete jungles that form the cities across Europe and North America. Recently, I traveled to Europe with part of our leadership team to meet with church leaders there and discuss how to effectively reach the people of Europe—and we’re excited by the possibilities! There are currently dozens of radio stations and studios that AWR either owns, has helped to set up, or supports across Europe, including in countries like England, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Sweden, Bosnia, Latvia, Moldova, and more. They have been faithfully transmitting the good news that Jesus is coming soon. But now we want to do more! Watch the video below, where I share our plans to train and equip our churches in Europe to effectively partner with AWR and flood Europe with an evangelism strategy that will reach people through the most popular social media platforms and connect them with local churches. We believe that thousands of Europeans will soon be studying the Bible through a new Global Bible School developed and powered by AWR! Friend, Jesus is coming soon. There is an urgency that can’t be ignored. We believe that if we do our part, as difficult as it may seem, God will do the rest, because His Word shall never return void but will accomplish all His purposes (Isaiah 55:11). Thank you for being a part of our AWR family. Your support is making a difference for eternity. Yours in the Blessed Hope, Jim Howard

I’ve Had it with the Infighting

By

I’ve had it with the infighting. Honestly, if you scroll through Adventist social media these days, you’d think we’ve split into 28,000 fundamental beliefs—one for every opinion. But if you push past the noise, most of us have far more in common than we have dividing us. Whether you lean progressive, conservative, or happily hover […] Source: https://atoday.org/ive-had-it-with-the-infighting/
