THIS IS THE GOSPEL *
Ttie Christian Life, What*
Is It?
Text: 2 Cor. 5-17; “If any
man be in Christ, he is a
new Creation, all things are
passed away, behold ali
vh.ngs are become new.”
It’s true that a Christian
can be spotted anywhere, by
their dress, their speech, and
their light. Because a Chris
tian is a light, he is an ex
ample in everything, to the
trans-ormlng power of God
in his life. Our text implies
that any one born again, in
to God's family by His spirit
is a new creation, or new
creature. Old desires and
bad habits will leave the
Bible says “a little- Leaven,
Leaveneth the whole Lump.”
The Christ an life is first;
A life of holiness; I Thess.
4-7 the Apostle said , ‘ For
God hath not called us unto
uncleanness, but Unto Holi
ness.” Also, I Cor. 7-1;
“Therefore having rece ved
the promises dearly beloved,
let us cleanse ourselves from
all filtheness of the flesh
and Spirit, perfecting Holi
ress in the fear of God.”
Holiness is more than just
long dresses and long hair. I
believe in that too, but holi
ness is to be pure in heart,
Math. 5-6, It’s _£asy to love
ores friends, but holiness of
"*heart will cauSe one to love
their enemies. It will cause

If everybody in the church
today had this, mv; what a
rebival would break out. Al
so the Christian life is one of
prayer. I T'm. 2-8; £‘l will
therefore that men pray ev
erywhere, lifting up Holy
hands unto God ’ Also in
-18, “Praying always
with all Prayer and suppli
cat:on in the Spirit, and
watching thereunto W'th all
perservance and supplication
(•o-avor) all Points.
Prayer is just as much a
part of the Christian life and
just as necessary for spirit
va’ n.fe, as water or food is
for the physical life The
great amount of backsl'di n g
in the church today can be
traced to
you want more victory and
power to overcome pray
more. Also, the Christian life
is one of se’f den’al. A
Christian cannot love the
things of the worid and still
love God, sav Amen. I Jn.
2-15. “I-ove NOT the world,
or the things that are in the
world. If any man love the
world the love of the Father
is not. in him” Also in Lk.
9-23; "If any man will coma
after me let.h.m take up his
cross naily and follow me.”
In Luke 9-62; “He that put
teth his hand to the p.ow
and lojkcth back, is not fit
for the Kingdom of God.”
In Math. 10-37, “He that
loveth Father or Mother
THE YANCEY RECORD
more than me, is not worthy
of me." Truly the Christian
must abstain from any thing
that would take away from
our spiritual life. This mes
sage is not meant to con
demn anyone, but to b.ess
and to help you live closer
to God. I really believe ac
cording to the many Bible
signs that Jesus is coming
very soon now, and that he
is also getting his people
ready to leave this s'n cur
sed earth for that celestial
city where are you living
today, my friend; have you
thought about what would
happen to you, if the Lord
should come before you make
preparation to meet Him?
But you can be saved ’" right
where you are, by repenting
of your sins and believing on
