DOUBLE WIDE mm III -."V BASE PRICE SiihdayS mf choolLesson STRUGGLE" AND GROWTH r - ' Can a person be saved by grace through faith in Thrist, or must he also perform some ritual and do some works? The Bible teaches that Christ alone can save. ; .;. .; ,'.'..-. , ';;:;",; Acts 11:11-18 ;:';:v Upon hearing that the Gentiles had received the . Word of God through the instrumentality of Peter in the house of Cornelius, the prejudices of the leaders of the church and the Jewish Christians in Jerusalem were stirred greatly. It is hardly conceivable that such glorious tidings should have given rise to dissatisfac ; tion, but they did. When Peter returned to Jerusalem to explain what had taken place, there was a com plaint that he visited the uncircumcised and ate with them.' Appreciating the perplexity of the leaders in the church at Jerusalem, Peter recited the events which had brought them so much disquietude. He did not conceal from' them the fact that when he went into the house of Cornelius, the Gentile, he found himself in a very delicate situation. Had he consulted his personal inclinations and prejudices, he certainly would not have gone there, but he had no choice in the matter in asmuch as he was controlled by the inescapable will of God. As Peter was speaking to those who were assembled in the house of Cornelius, God vindicated the proclamation of his message by sending the Holy Spirit to convict his listeners and to open their hearts for the reception of the Gospel of Christ. Believing the message of the Lord delivered by Peter, and accepting Christ as their personal Saviour, they were happily saved.. ;.- ' . When the Jewish leaders in the church at Jerusalem heard Peter's explanation, they did not have any fur ther complaint" He made it clear to them that the vi sion and the command which he had received from God had convinced him that all restrictions differen tiating Jews and Gentiles regarding the way of salva tion were abolished and that the gospel of Christ is to be preached to all men. These Jewish Christians glorified God when they came to see and understand that the gospel of Christ was meant to be taken to all. It was not easy for Peter and the other Jews to overcome their race prejudice and be willing for Gentiles to share in all the riches of Christ's wonderful salvation, but they did so through God's enabling grace. We should remember always that when the Holy Spirit directs us to do something that God's grace is sufficient to enable us to do it. Galatians 2:11-16 When Peter arrived in Antioch Jews and Gentiles were eating together without any discrimination. Ere long a deputation of Jewish Christians arrived from Jerusalem, perhaps on a mission of investigation, and they were shocked when they discovered that Jewish Christians were eating with Gentile Christians. Im mediately Peter ceased eating with the Gentile Chris tians because of his feat of what others might think, say, or do. Others, including Barnabas, followed the example of Peter. Without hesitation Paul publicly, kindly, lovingly, and firmly rebuked Peter for his in consistency in a sacrificing principle for expediency. And Paul was justified in doing so. CARD OF THANKS We would like to express our appreciation for (he lovely cards, flowers, viiiH, phone colls, food ana every acf of kindness shown us at the death of our sister. Sylvia Winslow. '. I (Edwin) want to express my gratitude for your continued rememberonce of me during my five years of Illness We will remain forever grateful. Edwin & Mary White For Your Information Dear friends; During an "active lifetime the accum ulation of funds for later years and for one's descendants can be an inter esting pursuit. A time comes, how ever,, when attention should be Y focused on a plan to wisely distribute ones assets prior to and at time of death. Professional assistance should be sought for such financial planning. Respectfully, la; SWINDELL FUNERAL I4CME HERTFORD, N.C. Knowing that the works of men and their obser vance of the law did not have anything to do with their justification before God, Paul declared that justifica tion is available only by grace through faith in Christ. : "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for . righteousness" (Romans 4:5). Works are the fruit of salvation, but never the fountain of it We are saved in order to serve, but we do not serve in order to be saved. One is never justified in the sight of God by works. 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should ' . walk in them" (Ephesians 2:8-10). : The Sunday School Lesson is sent in each week by Clear Creek Baptist School in Pineville, Ky. and is written by Dr. H.C. Chiles.
