Five principles needed for rplation with God
simummommunimmiam
Minister's
study
BY THE REV EREND
CLAIR SAMS,
BIBLE MISSIONARY
CHURCH
In Ezekiel . 33: 14-16 are
found five principles that are
requisites to . a personal
relationship with God. Look
at these verses with me and
let's study ,them together.
You can then use these few
thoughts to search through
the Word of God and confirm
these principles in your
mind.
Notice to begin with, there
needs to be a realization'of
God; "Again when I say untie
the wicked". God says, "I
say unto the wicked", He not
only will make one aware of
His presence, but also of
each person's personal lack.
Heconvicts of sin and
reminds of judgment, "Thou
shalt surely die". What a
serious sobering thought, to
our light-hearted attitudes.
But all is not hopeless by
any means. There is ex-
tended a bright ray of hope.
"If he turn from his sin,.and
do that which is lawful and
right." Found here is a
picture..of repentance. This
sorrow forms itself into a
renunciation of sin and as
about face in life. Repen-
tance brings with it a con-
sciousness of and confession
for sin, as well as, a hearty
renunciation of it. What lift.
and joy comes,.to the person
-No WIlvl 1 repent` ff sm.
Ezekial, tells us that a
truly repentant soul will,
"restore the pledge, give
again that he hath robbed".
What a tremendous witness
'to the powerof God when one
will make restitution of past
wrongs done to others. Not
only is restitution a witness
but can act as a deterrent to
any tending in the future
toward the same crimes
against God or man. One's
conscience can never be
clear if there are broken
pledges and stolen items
unreturned. But again, what
strength end joy attend
completed restora tion.
Righteousness is the next
principle mentioned. The
Prophet said, "do that which
is lawful and right". Now
wouldn't it be a wonderful
world if everyone even at-
tempted toact on this? Well,
this is what God requires. It
means right living,
Godliness in one's daily
conduct, and • to behave
justly. This is simply living
by the law of love and mercy.,
Men are to live right before
the Eternal Judge. But right
living can't be accomplished

growing and expanding, and
meeting with more and more
acceptance in spiteof the
fact that it is only 140 years
old. ,Bahais believe that a
man named Baha'u'llah,
who lived in Asia m the 1800s,
was the most recent
revelation of God: the most)
recent ane .=af
progressive revalations
including such teachers as
• Jesus, Buddha, and
Mohammad.
"Since that time, his
teachings —Mire -reached -the
most remote outposts of
humanity," says .the soft-
spokenMatthart. The
Bahais' focus is to build a
house of worship on each
continent of the world. There
- is -one in Australia, . in
1aada,ernnany, Chicago,
and Panama, and .there are
two more in progress.
Matthart points out that
the buildingsare of secon-
dary, importance. "The
--number one priority. is to.
spread the teaching of
Bahu'u'llaah. What . we are
working against is all kinds
of pF ejudice • and
materialism, especially in
North America."
"But five learned to think
in a different -time space,'"
says Matthart. "I used to
think in terms of 60 or 70
years; but now I think in
terms of 1,000 years."
The Bahais goal is to see
through the birth of "a new
race of matt". A .race that
knows ' not politics, no
national boundries, and no
war. Mattbart . says that
many -.groupshave this as
their goal, but believes that
''the-Ba7rais"'have''the only
successful recipe.
"You don't save the world
by sending them food. The
efforts of good -willed men
-will come -tonlothing unless a-
spiritual • unity is
established...Someday the
threat of war Will pass. That
will release a capacity • to

contact the committee.
,Is church just for
special occasions?
You may think that church is fine for weddings
and funerals. But what about all the Sundays in
between? Why would anyone want to go to
church every week?
Well, quite frankly because there's a lot more to
life than getting married aria buried. Like every-
day problems, for example. We all have them.
But it's a lot easier when we dont have to face
them alone. Especially when you're in touch with
a Personal God who really cares about you.
Why not visit us this Sunday and find out for
yourself.

Miien yourr� r� construction,

AskMario.
He fills out the U1 Record of Employment
perfectly every time
an employee parts company.
When you're in good company, stay in good form.
Mario handles personnel and finance matters for his
brother's construction company. And he knows that one of
his responsibilities is to fill out a UI Record of Employment
form every time an employee has an interruption in
earnings_ He knows that if he doesn't get it right the first
time, he may have to do it again. So Mario took the time to
get the booklet "How to Complete the Record of Employ-
ment" from his nearby Canada Employment Centre.
Leaving in good fort'n.
The Record of Employment is one way we can mike sure no
one gets short-changed and no one gets overpaid. This saves time and money for
everyone involved. Mario found out that the most common mistake is in reporting the
"Insurable Earnings". Insurable earnings are not necessarily the same as payroll
earnings. Because Mario fills out the ROE accurately, ex-employees don't have to come
back to him for changes. And neither do we.
It's just good business to be in good form.
At Unemployment Insurance, we process about 4,000,000 Records of Employment
every year. Last year, employer mistakes in filling out the form cost at least 5125,000,000
in overpayments. Plus the cost of recovering those overpayments and penalizing or
prosecuting. .
We're out to cut down that 5125,000,000. And we're going to do it, together.

Divine assistance.
Redemption is the
assistance that is offered to
everyindividual who will
avail themselves of it. The
author here tells it this way.
"He shall surely live...none
of his sins that he hath
committed shall -be men-
tioned into him : he hath done
that which is lawful and
a,r
right: he shall surely live."
What a picture of God's plan
of salvation. It is a Joy to
know the sins of the past are
removed, not to be even
mentioned a gain.
Oh, how rich and full are
the things of God. What a joy
to study into His great and
glorious wonders. May we
apply these principles m-
dividually.
