accept the remedy He offers to us. This brings salvation. The Facts About Christ’s Person John 3:36 The Scripture plainly teaches that Jesus of Nazareth is the eternal Son of God who lived in His pre-natal time with God and to whom God has given all power. The Scripture is plain that we are to trust Him, worship Him, believe in Him, and give Him the au thority over our lives. Believing this to be true is not enough. We must act upon it and really in our hearts and souls make Christ Jesus our own Saviour to save us from our sins and our own Lord to save our lives from failure. We must believe the truth and then act upon it with the heart.. The Facts About Christ’s Work 1 Pet. 2:24 We should believe what the Scriptures say concerning the value of the work of the Saviour at Calvary. We should be lieve that He was made sin for us; that He bore our sins on the cross; that He was wounded and bruised in our stead. We should believe that God laid our iniquity on Him when He was crucified. All of these are facts for the Christian to accept. However, these facts must be applied to one’s self. If He bore my sins, then they are gone. If He was made sin for me, then I am righteous. The appli cation of the truth to the soul brings peace. The Facts About the Results 1 John 5:12 The results of the work of the Saviour when applied to the believing soul are clearly described in the Scriptures. We must believe that the results are certain. If “ Jesus Paid It All,” then we may re joice that the debt is paid. If the Saviour bore our sins, then we may sing because they are gone and blotted out. If we become children of God when we trust Christ Jesus, then we may call God our Father and take our place as children of His. If He was punished instead of us, we may be glad that we wil( never be punished. What we believe is essen tial but how we believe it makes the application and brings the results. August 12, 1951 STEWARDSHIP THAT COUNTS Luke 12:48; 1 Pet. 4:10; Mai. 3:10; Gen. 28:22 Stewardship is an honorable position given by the Lord to each and to all of His children. Stewardship is not con nected with the handling of money only but embraces a much larger sphere and covers a greater scope. We are stewards of the mysteries of God (1 Cor. 4 :1). We are stewards of the manifold grace of God (1 Pet. 4:10). If we are taught precious truths from the Scripture, we

August 5, 1951 BELIEFS THAT MATTER Acts 16:19-31; John 1:12,13; 3:36 What we believe is very important and how we apply it is also important. We may believe that a train will take us to Chicago but never get on board. We may believe that a certain cough medicine will relieve the spasms but never take the medicine. We may believe that a certain food would be helpful and yet never partake of it. So we may be lieve that there is a God and that Christ is God’s Son and that the Bible is true, and yet never accept the Saviour for ourselves nor confess the Lordship of the living Christ in our lives. Believing the facts is not sufficient. We must act upon them and appropriate them. The Facts About One’s Self Rom. 3:10 The love of God is revealed to us in that He has told us plainly what He thinks about us. He knows our charac ter and our conduct. He reveals in His Word His diagnosis of our case. We may believe all that He says about our sins and evils and yet never want Him to apply the remedy to us. There are those who love their sins and do not desire to be rid of them. They know that there is a remedy found in the Saviour, yet they do not want Christ. We must be lieve what God says about us and then
