The Plan of Salvation All we like sheep have gone astray, . (Isa. 53:6) Far from the straight and narrow way; (Matt. 7:14) In paths of sin our feet have trod, (Rom. 5:12) Unmindful of our loving God. (Psa. 10:4) To lead us back He sent His Son, (John 3:16) The Christ of God, the Holy One: (Matt. 16:16) He came His life for us to give, (Isa. 53:5) That we eternally may live. (John 10:28; 17-3) To man He says, Come unto Me, (Matt. 11:28) And I from sin will set you free; (1 John 1:9) I’ll show you in what paths to go, (Psa. 16:11) And wash your soul as white as snow. - (Isa. 1:18) O Saviour, God, to Thee we come— (John 6:37) Man’s only hope, by sin undone! (John 1:29) O clasp our hand in thine, we pray, (Isa. 48:17) Nor let us ever from Thee stray! (Psa. 121:1-8) ' —J.S.W. The Word of God The Word of God is the agency the Spirit uses to effect the new birth in the believer (1 Pet. 1:23). The Word of God cleanses us from our defilements (John 15:3). The Word of God builds up and strengthens the believer (Acts 20:32),. The Word of God lays bare what is in man, and shows him in his true light (Heb. 4:12). The Word of God, and the whole of it, is divinely inspired (2 Tim. 3:16, 17). The Word of God alone will avail in efforts to save lost men (Jer. 23:28, 29). The Word of God will judge the un believer in the last day (John 12:48). —Selected.

The Spirit testifies of Christ (John 15:26). The Spirit is the only source of power in our service and testimony for the Lord Jesus (Acts 1:8). The Spirit is at once the seal, mark ing us as God’s own, and the earnest, giving us the enjoyment of God’s love (2 Cor. 1:22). The Spirit takes hold of our infirm ities and enables us to bear them (Rom. 8:26). —Selected. The Believer's Sins They are removed from him (Psa. 103:12).
