The Goderich Signal-Star, 1975-06-19, Page 19N • uNLTEia .v.K~Qn to r Sa,lvatlon is the. theme Supreme. From Genesis to - Revelation; Salvation is the outstanding message. The great texts of the Bible are `salvation' texts. God's gredt record 'deeds as at the Red Sea, at Sinai, at the tomb of Lazarus and at Calvary, are Salvation triumphs. Salvation is. not • a solitary busine$s. Salvation is a `knowing' and a `growing' experience,. Two things every Christian needs to know: that he is saved and that he is saved to serve: IN1$TE'S STUDY VICTORIAST, NMILLAR clIARGE BY REV, LEONARD WARR how do you •li)'e•at home?" ' 'That's myMothelr sitting in •. front of yotit Ask her,:'replied • the young woman, .... . The elder woman arose and said, "She lives at home just as 'she talks here!" ' Vital religion blooms with an interest in other people, When Christ indwells and salvation is our life, there is a 'Sincere concern for the , spiritual welfare of others.

' the values and • victories which keep close company -with salvation. "Out on the Western desert of the United States there are millions of grotesque twisted -cactus plants, covered with" sharp dangerous thorns - condemned plants, for men have said, they are worthless; nothing good can come of his words, "As we rose from our 'knees, I could tell by `the fight shining through her tears that the joybells were ringing in her 'heart. {Then she made my heart •ache ' as she spoke the first words of a newly' -born Christian, when she said: '"What about our Daddy?" As ,for `industry for our= selves' Hebrews 6:11-12 points this mark with clear emphasis. Lady, -Taylor of Bournmouthy England tells of the Swedish singer Jenny Lind. Miss Lind them." • • made known her intention 6f • But an experiment after experiment, Luther Burbank succeeded in developing in the cactus .plant a new life which gradually overcame the old natural cactus life and produced ,a_:plant thatls useful instead of harmful. Thus the cactus is no longer `con- derpned'' but being saved for _son useful. - function._ The ° change`is not from without but from within. The thornless 'cactus is- not produced by cutting off the thorns but by the development of the new life which produces not thorns blit fruit. So it is that by accepting Christ as Saviour ' and by following Him and abiding in Him One becomes marvellously transformed and brings forth fruit unto life eternal. This is `salvation.' An artificial flower does not lean toward the sun. But a living plant has an affinity -for - the sunlight and is ever reaching toward the sun. The soul quickened by God's Spirit J sus e of e Nam he , hungers for God's Word, yearns for God's house, remembers. the Sabbath Day to keep it holy; delights in the Saviour's Mission and reverences God's appointments. (Ps. 1:1-3). There Are folk who will,.sing for Christ, work for . Christ, preach and teach for Christ, but it. is 'harder to get folk to LIVE for Christ. A young woman was giving her testimony in a Salvation Army meeting. A man arose at the back of the hall.. "That's all right for talk," he cried, "but retiring :,from the operatic stage, giving as a reason that the pursuit was so engrossing that it hindered her devotion to. higher things. Lady Taylor found her one evening, sitting on the beach, her little Bible on her lap, and renewed the argument iii`€avor of the stage. "You owe your work to the world," she said. "But when that work," said the great singer, gravely, ".'makes me care little for this, (touching the Book) and less for that (looking atthe sunset)• itis time to give it up!" Reader, may I suggest this simple yet all-important good theological analysis::The,`A-B- C' of Salvation? ACCEPT' , - "Befiold I now • isthe accepted time, behold "now is the day of. salvation."

GO, AND SIN NO MORE The self-righteous Pharisees had brought a fallen woman to Jesus and "when they had set her in the midst," they began to ac- cuse her, saying: "Now Moses in the Law commanded us that such should be stoned, but what sayest thou?" (John 8:5). They were using this fallen wo- man to embarrass the Lord into agreeing that this woman should be stoned, or else leaving Himself open to a charge ,of repudiating Moses' Law. At first He made "as though He heard themn • Qtbut, ,, when the ^� Y continued asking, they got what they asked for! Simply answering: "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her;" the Lord turned away, again to let that sentence do its work. They had "set her in the midst." Now He had set them in the midst and, "being *convicted by their 'own conscience," they "went out ;one by one" (Ver. 9). • And there stood the woman alone before Him: a great sinner and a great Savior.
