The need for salvation from sin and its penalty is universal (Eccl. 7:20; Rom. 3:23; Isa. 64:6; Jer. 17:9, 10; Isa. 53:6; John 3:3). 2. Man is helpless to save himself. God alone can save the sinner (Isa. 55:8; Prov. 16:25; 1 Cor. 1:21- Jas. 2:10; Rom. 3:20). 3. God has provided salvation through the substitu tionary work of Christ (John 3:16; 2 Cor. 5:18, 19- 1 Cor. 15:3, 4; Eph. 2:8, 9). 4. Eternal life, which is the very life of God im parted to believers, is the present possession of the chil dren of God (John 5:24; 1 John 5:12, 13). 5. True faith in the risen, glorified, ascended Christ will result in an outward confession of Him as Lord (Matt. 10:32, 33; Lk. 9:26; Rom. 10:9, 10). 6. True faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is always ac companied by good works (Jas. 2:14-18; Eph. 2:10; Phil 2:13; Titus 3:8). 7. The judgment of Goid awaits unbelievers; but be lievers in the risen, glorified Christ will never come into
judgment for their sins (John 3:18; Heb. 9:27; John 3: * 17; 5:24; Rom. 8:1). a ' \ m 8. God is no longer the Judge, but the Father of all true believers in the risen, glorified Christ (Gal. 3 :26 ; 1 John 3 :1; Rom. 8:14-17). 9. The Word of God is the spiritual food for the children of God (Lk. 4:4'; 1 Pet. 2:1, 2; John 6:63; Psa. 119:11, 105; Isa. 55:10, 11). 10. The joyful life of praise, thanksgiving, and pray er is the atmosphere the child of- God/ should breathe (1 Thess. 5:16-18;¿Heb. 13:15, 16; W e t . 5:7; Eph. 6:18; Phil. 4:5-9). ■11. The walk of faith, which consists of realizing the presence of God, witnessing for the risen, glorified Christ Jesus, and living for Him, is the healthful exercise for the child of God (2 Cor. 5:7; Isa. 41:10; Heb. 13:5, 6 ; 2 .Cor. 2;14; 5:14, 15). 12. The body of the child of God is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and is to be yielded to God for an in strument of righteousness (1 Cor. 6:19, 20; 2 Cor. 4:6, 7; Rom. 6:12, 13). 13. If sins are committed by the child of God, which break fellowship with the Father, provision is made through the advocacy of Christ Jesus, and the indwelling Holy Spirit. Fellowship will be restored upon confession of sins (1 John 2:1, 2; Heb. 7 :25 ; Rom. 5 :10; 1 Cor. 10:13; 1 John 1:9, 10). 14. The second coming of Christ is the comforting, purifying, and blessed hope of the children of God (1 Thess. 4:13-18; Titus 2:11-14; Rom. 8:18-25; 1 John 3:2, 3; Phil. 3:20, 21), 15. When the believers appear before the judgment seat of Christ, they will be rewarded for faithful service (2 Cor. 5:10; Matt. 16:27; 1 Cor. 3:11-14; 1 Pet: 5 :2-4 p Dan. 12:3; Gal. 6:7-10; 1 Cor. 15:58). Ministry of the Printed Page in China As the result-of hearty cooperation on the part of Chinese and foreign friends, the bimonthly magazine, Evangelism, of which Mr. Charles A. Roberts, of the Hunan Bible Institute, is the managing editor, now enjoys a wide circulation in every province of China and in other countries. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts are members of the staff of Biola in China, for whose support the Bible Institute of Los Angeles is reponsible. As, the name implies, the magazine, printed in Chinese, gives prom inence to such subjects as gospel preaching, the winning of men and women to Christ, and the edification of be lievers. There are special departments, such as daily meditations for use in family worship, helps on the Sun day-school lessons, the children’s page, and the importance of the Christian home. Going as it does into the hands of hundreds of Chinese, it is difficult to estimate the good that may be wrought by this, strong, scriptural periodical. Friends of the work in China are asked to pray that God?s own message may, through this medium, find its way to many hearts. ’
