tlirough conversion and concentration.
We should follow I Timothy 4:12,
being examples in conversation, in lov
ing, in faithfulness, and in i)urit\.
Then, through our own personal re

campus may be created. Religion is
taught. “Life is not an escalator;
it is a stairway.”

Dr. Thompson conqiared Christian
religion wdth our friendships. He said
we like a person for three reasons:
because of wluit he is in himself; be
cause of what he does for us; and be
cause of wdiat we do for him. t)ur
friendship witii Jesus involves these
Same elements. If we like a person
because of wliat he is in himself "C
must know’ him and study him am
he w’itli him constantly in mder to
discover his character traits and lo\
able attributes. If we like him for
W’hat he does for us, we must let him
do something for us, and we mus
do something in return. I his is tvat
of our relationshij) with Jesus. M e
must study the Rible and praj dailj
in order to know' Him and we mus
let Him do something for us. We
must, in return, serve Him with all
our hearts, giving to Him the best
that is in us.
