This is the message of the Bible with regard to man and abundant proof is before us in the world today of man's estrangement from God through sin. So that no matter who we are, the Bible comes to us with this message that we are sinners in the sight of God. The Bible, howeve does not leave us there. Secondly, the Bible h s, a message with relation ftp Jesus Christ. God's plait whereby sinful man might be hrnught back into fellowship with God the Father is through His. Son, the Lord Jesus -Christ. So the Bible unfolds the Plan of God's Salvation. The Bible tells us that "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." So 2000 years ago Jesus Christ came into the world to bring us back to God. 2 After the crucifixion and burial of Jesus, the apostles returned to their various occupations a' much discouraged and disillusioned group of men.

REREAN 1111111.1 SOCIETY CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60633 WILL GOOD WORKS "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission•" (Hebrews 9:22). The apostle's • argument in the above passage is that since Israel's ceremoni..al law was typical of things to come, its constant shed- ding of blood pointed to the neces- sity of Christ's sacrificial death for the remission of sins. Certainly the Bible teaches that "Christ died for our sins" (I Corinthians 15:3). Those who seek instead to make themselves acceptable to God by good works should consider the following: Our Lord never committed one sin. He always did those things which pleased the Father. His min- istry was filled with acts of mercy and kindness. He healed the sick, cleansed ,the leper, made the blind to see, the deaf to hear and the lame to leap for joy. He preached the gospel to the poor, deliverance to the captives, and healed the brokenhearted.

Indeed, had He done all these good works and then gone to heaven without dying in our stead, He would have left us i.n a deeper con- demnation than before, for His ho,Ly, spotless life could only emphasize our sin and guilt by contrast, And if all His good works could not avail to erase even one sin from the black record of human behavior, how utterly preposterous for the sinner to hope to erase or cancel his sins by his own "good works"' Thus, in contrast, the Bible presents Christ's death as the price of our redemption: "We have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, ac- cording to the riches of His grace" (Ephesians "Being justified freely by (God's) grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus" (Romans 3:24). to what had happened in- dicated they felt all hope was gone. Their frustration filled them with consternation, because it was %perfectly evident to them that they had embraced a false hope. But then came the news of the Resurrection and the appearing of Jesus and they were brought together again. A new hope and a new zeal laid hold upon them as the light of a Clew day began to dawn. That message of the death and Resurrection of Christ was the message of Salvation to Sinful men. Listen to what the Bible says, "He became sin for us, He who knew no sin, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." "He became the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only -but for the sins of the whole world." Your salvation and mine through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is made known to us through the pages of the Bible - God's Holy Word. Thirdly, the Bible has a message with relation to the future. He died that we might be forgiven. He died to make us good That we might go at last to heaven Saved by His precious Blood. Further the Bible tells us that the day is coming when Christ shall set up His Kingdom, or as the hymn says, • "Jesus shall reign where ere the sun." One day in the plan of God there shall be no more sorrow nor sighing, no more tears or pain, no more sin or despair, for the former things shall have passed away. Christ shall have come and those who have believed and received the message of the Bible; namely, that Christ is Saviour and Redeemer, shall reign with Him forever and ever. What is your attitude towards the Bible? Has it brought to you the Salvation through Jesus Christ? "The Word of the Lord endureth forever."
