(Romans 3:19-28) Hugh Miller said, "The gospel istiie fulfillment of all hopes, the perfection of all philosophy, the in terpreter of all revelations, and a key to all the seeming contradictions of truth in the physical and moral world." The Gospel is the good news of what God has done for man in Jesus Christ. A large portion of the Bible is given to answering one question: "How can a man be rightly related to God?" There are few issues, if any, more misunderstood than this one. LAW, ROMANS 3:19-20 The law speaks to both Jews (those under the law) and Gentiles. The message of the law is that all of the world is guilty before God. It is'not easy to admit that we are sinners. This is especially true if we are striving under the law to meet the demands of God. Is one still counted a sinner who does the best he can? Let us hear what the Bible says "Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin."

"" ..- , nrniimi.iir.ini.iininiin.. h..i W r i ' ' bunday school Lesson guilt and penalty of sin, but to make man aware of his sin. "The law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith" (Galatians 3:24). The plain word Of God is that no living man will ever be justified by trying to do what the law demands. ' GRACE, ROMANS 3:21-24 This passage speaks about the "righteousness of God" ibeing manifested (made clear) apart from the law. Both the law and the prophets of the Old Testament bore witness to the fact that God's righteousness could never come through the law. An imperfect man could never satisfy the demands of a holy and perfect God. Verse 22 states clearly that the righteousness of God is by faith in Jesus Christ. "By faith of Jesus Christ" is also translated "by faith in Jesus Christ." "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God" means that all have missed the mark set for them by God. Verse 24 states that we are "justified freely by His grace through the redemp Church St PH. 426-5464 The Ferqulmtni Weekly, Hertford, N. C Thunday, October 4, 1973-Paga 3 H ' tion that is in Christ Jesus." Since it is impossible to achieve salvation (right standing with God) ' by human effort, God offers it to man freely by His grace, man could never pay for his redemption. What price would he offer? If man could achieve his salvation then why did Jesus die? GOSPEL, ROMANS 3:25-28 The good news from heaven is that God Himself has made the way. He has made the sacrifice of His own ' Son. God now . declares every man righteous who trusts Jesus for salvation. Man's sins are buried in the sea of God's forgetfulness when he brings them to the Lamb of God who , takes away the sin of the world! Question of the week: "What does "Messiah" mean in John 4:25? Answer: The term "Messiah" in Old Testament Jewish thought was the designation of the God-appointed king of the end of time. . literallv the end of time. It literally means "the anointed one." Greek word for "the anointed one." STELLA'S WE BUY AND SELL -ANTIQUES- ; CALL 264-2923 U.S. 17 NORTH f W.M. MORGAN FURNITURE COMPANY - .' "SEARCH FOR TRUTH By Lorry Swaim . '' ELIMINATING ANXIETY Dear Mr. Swaim, my life - seems to be filled with ten sion and anxiety. I really ' have tried to avoid worry, but so far, unsuccessfully. Is there a cure for anxiety? It would seem that we have less to worry about than previous generations, yet, we . have more worry. Though we have it easier than our fore fathers, we have more uneasi ness. We have less real cause for anxiety than our prede cessors, yet, we are inwardly more anxious. Why? Most modern anxiety is not directed toward the real, valid, justifiable fears such as eternity, death, and the judge ment of God. Our generation has passed these off as "old hat," and manufactured fears of its own synthetic brand of anxiety. This generation is dying, not from external pres sures, but from internal com bustion. Most people today are not really afraid to die, but are afraid to live. Modern man has too often fled to his ivory tower and there sur ounded by his luxuries and gadgets and false sense of se curity, he hides from reality, from his conscience, from God; but even in his ivory tower he is haunted by the feeling that he is not the man he ought to be, that he is not living the life he ought to live, and that "life is more than meat, body more than raiment." f 4 j
