Sunday School Lesson _J GROWING UP IN CHRIST The title of this lesson suggests one of the greatest needs of Christians today. As they pwss from their spiritual immaturity to growth in grace and in the knowledge of Christ, their Lord is pleased and their lives are enriched. PhiUippans3:12-16 . Here we are told the secret of the life of the greatest Christian who ever lived. He informs us that, while he was on a mission of persecution, Christ laid hold on him for a definite purpose, namely, to save his soul, to transform his life, to divert his great ability into right and constructive channels, and to make a great minister and mighty missionary out of him. He yielded , to that loving grasp, gave himself wholeheartedly to if Christian service, and wielded a tremendous influence Afor good. w As the end of his career was approaching, and he was f thinking about his accomplishments, Paul indicated f, that he was not satisfied with what he had done for his Lord, who had done such for him, but wanted to do far ' more for Christ. His ruling passion was to get nearer to Christ, to grow in His grace and knowledge, to be more ' like Him, and to do more and better work for Him. Paul 'informed his readers that he was devoted to a single aim. He said, "This one thing I do." With words and by actions he urged all Christians to have a definite and high aim, and then to concentrate all of life's energies on reaching it. As he ran the race of life, he did not have the time or the inclination to look back or to one side, but he persisted with strenuous and unceasing activity in bearing down upon the goal and winning the prize. With him the most important thing was pleasing the Lord. Paul exhorted the Christians in the church at Philippi j: to be united in their thinking as they aspired to become p spiritually mature (verse 15), and to abide by the same [ rules as they advanced toward Christlikeness (verse ? j 16). Perseverance toward the goal of Christlikeness is ' both challenging and rewarding. I IJohn4:13-21 J- John wanted his readers to now that they were the ob : ' jects of God's wonderful, yea, almost incredible love. (- God's marvelous love has been revealed many ways, f : but never so fully as when He sent Christ to be the pro ? ' pitiation for our sins. Christ expressed His love for us by dying in our stead, in order that we might have life through Him. Having become the recipients of His love, ?fljve should love Him supremely. fly God's love is not passive, but active. To be born of toM krto posess His nature. If one does not love,- it is" clear that he has never known God experimentally. It is very important that we prove our Christian sonship by our genuine love for others. Love enables the Christian to overcome fear. God's love for us precedes and is the cause of our love for Him. Because of His love for us we should love God emely and devotedly. We can reveal our love for by thinking about Him-His will, His Word, and His ty for us. We express our love for Him through telling s about His Son and our Saviour-the beauty of His icter, the sinlessness of His life, the wonder of His ivation, the joy of His fellowship, and the glorious te of His return. Unquestioning and wholehearted obedience to God's commandments is the best evidence of < nit love for Him. If we love God, we will love our fell jw-Christians. A Christ-centered and Spirit-filled life is the supreme expression of love for God. It is also the greatest contribution we can make to the progress of tfM kingdom of God. births > w s and Mrs. Wallace Marshall Knight, Jr. wish to J announce the birth of _ second child, first |i ughter, Holly Elizabeth, Dec. 29, Albemarle >itaL Maternal grand irents are Mr. and Mrs. , Ivey, of Rt. 4,Hert and Paternal grand jarents are Mr. and Mrs Pally Knight, of Rt. 3 Jertford.
