S a v e d t o serve Upon his acceptance of Jesus Christ as Saviour every believer is con stituted a personal worker. There are some glaring misunderstandings concerning the purpose for which men are saved. In the first place,—men are saved that God may be glorified. His glory is first in all things. The saints are the riches of the glory of His inheritance. Men are saved to serve. No man can be like God who is not a soul-saver. The first picture of God after man’s sin is as a seeking Saviour, coming down to the Garden to seek and save Adam and Eve. The Old Testament is the story of God’s eternal purpose to save souls. The New Testament bears the same testimony. ‘ ‘ The Son of Man is come to seek and save the lost. ■ ’ ■ The life of a believer is the life of Christ, and that life was characterized by ceaseless effort to save the lost. That is the meaning of His walk and work down here in the flesh; the meaning of the cross and of the open tomb. The life of Christ is evangelistic. The first impulse of a born-again one is to save someone else. The testimony of the early church is that they went everywhere on a soul-saving mission. AVere it not for the cold, calculating, critical, censorious condition of the church today, believers would be every where doing the very thing for which they were saved, and for which they are preserved down here.
