Lesson XIII. -_Response to, God's
Love, Phil. - 3:7-14. - Golden Text,
Psalms' 86: 12.
The lessons of the past quarter
have dwelt upon ,the highest subjects
of human thought -God, Christ, the
Holy Spirit, human nature, sin, grace,
repentance, faith, obedience, prayer'
and love. What have we learned of
all these, and what have we made ourl
own permanent possession to enrich
mind and heart? Our opportunity 1
has been great; have we ptfited by
•t�
it
Three great outstanding facts we'
have ,learned: (1) That God is - our,
Father in heaven, loving His children,
'
even the erring and lost ones' with a
father's changeless love; (2)" That
-the gracious love • off: God in Jesus
Christ and through His ,Spirit has
entered into the world to redeem. re
• " generate and save; and (3) That our of
response to God's work of love in h
Jesus Christ is.in `sincere repentance, g
faith, - doing God's will, prayer, and t.
above alt- love, love both to God and m
_ ..1

and so finding not a righteousness of
our own devising, but "the righteous-
ness which is of .God by faith." And
it is (3) seeking to know Christ and,
~even through-sufieringif it be nec-
essary, to rise with Him into the
triumphant life of the Spirit, and to
press forward in the strength and
hope of this new life to the attain-
ment of the "prize of the high calling
of God in Christ .Ieaus,"

Christ first, in followingHim, and
' in seeking to be like Him. Through
Him we come to God. - His presence
with us now is in the reality and
power of the Spirit. We trust in Him
and yield ourselves to His command.
He binds us to Himself by the indis-
soluble bond -of -love: He gives eter-
nal life. He is "abundantly able to
save."
It will be well, therefore, to make
the -lesson centre in Christ,
and _to think -chiefly of- ot-reIation
to Him, our choosing pf Him as Lord
and Master.. renlisting in His ser-
vice, our finding true life in Him.
