As faithful adventists following the health message, we should then die of natural causes right?

Very true!

Thank you 🙏🏻

Amen, Brother Beacon, Sister Dorine, and Brother Richard!

Repeatedly Christ avoided being drawn into controversy. He knew that His work was to present the word of God in its clarity. When questions were asked of Him, often He required the answer from the one who asked, or He would meet others with a question, too. Wisely He kept planting truth, and thankfully, a scribe was willing to acknowledge the "correct" answer about what was most important in the law. But that man needed to also accept Christ as a personal Savior. So it is with us. A whole-heart surrender to Christ is what we need moment-by-moment. We need a living connection with Christ in order for God's love to flow in and through us to others, manifesting all of the fruits of the Spirit without one missing and gladly obeying God up to the light He has given us.

"The scribe was near to the kingdom of God, in that he recognized deeds of righteousness as more acceptable to God than burnt offerings and sacrifices. But he needed to recognize the divine character of Christ, and through faith in Him receive power to do the works of righteousness. The ritual service was of no value, unless connected with Christ by living faith. Even the moral law fails of its purpose, unless it is understood in its relation to the Saviour. Christ had repeatedly shown that His Father's law contained something deeper than mere authoritative commands. In the law is embodied the same principle that is revealed in the gospel. The law points out man's duty and shows him his guilt. To Christ he must look for pardon and for power to do what the law enjoins." {The Desire of Ages, page 608, paragraph 2}

When we appreciate the pardon and power of Jesus, we experience forgiveness for our past and power for our present to do God's will! What a delight!
