Pqiff 3> God's Purpose Is God's will to save the only i, factor at work in history? If it is, why is the salvation delayed and incomplete? The answer must be either that God is of two minds in his attitude to ward his people or that other wills, hostile to his, are in oper ation. The biblical witness rejects any suggestion that God is fickle-minded. James sums up: "With (God) there is no varia tion or shadow due to change." (James 1:17) The Scripture is equally emphatic in insisting that the rebellious wills of men, set against God's intention, not only make salvation necessary but also hinder progress toward it. Nevertheless, God's purpose will ultimately be fulfilled. Man will finally be saved in spite of himself. In Roipans 7, Paul describes the situation with precision: "I do not understand my own ac tions. . . . For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do." He con cludes, "Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!" (Verses 15, 19, 25) The Unity of the Bible Ail parts of the Bible con tribute to unfolding the succes sion of God's saving acts for men. In this lies its unity. These acts are not all the same, nor are they described in the same way. They build on one another and grow out of one another. We should not be surprised, therefore, that earlier and later descriptions of these acts may differ. In Acts 13:23 the words "as he promised" provide a vital clue to what makes the history of salvation move. The dynamic of the process is the promise of God. He spoke his word of sal vation into history and into men's hearts. It was no idle or empty saying. This word thrust history forward from the prom ise toward its fulfillment. But the fulfillment became a new promise, which in turn pressed events forward to a new ful fillment. The fulfillment takes place under the control of God and is not necessarily a mirror im age of the promise. Indeed, the meaning of the promise can be understood only in terms of the fulfillment. For example, no one would automatically understand that the promises recorded by "Moses and all the prophets" referred to a carpenter from Nazareth who would die on a ' cross. This idea became clear only when the Scriptures were j read in the light of Christ after his ministry was over. (Luke 24:27) Then it was seen that all the promises of salvation set forth in the Old Testament were marvelously fulfilled in him. (Acts 13:23) What Will We Do About It? What is the difference be tween unity and uniformity? Everyone appears to be inter ested in unity and brotherhood, but much of this praiseworthy emphasis is ruined by the mis taken idea that unity is uni formity and brothers must be Xerox copies of one another. Our study of the unity of the Testaments has shown that they are bound together by a common hope of salvation, moving by varied and some times uncertain roads toward fulfillment. This understanding of unity encourages us to seek unity and brotherhood in family or in society through the hopes we share with others. We seek it also through' the efforts we may make together toward their fulfillment. The theme of promise and fulfillment is not only a prin ciple of biblical unity; it Is a style of life. Some live in mem ories of the past, longing for good old days that never ex isted except in imagination. Others live In the present as in a prison with no way out. By contrast, the biblical style of life is to live as one who has heard a word of promise asd is pressing toward the future in which the fulfillment awaits. Living toward and for the fu ture breaks the handcuffs of the past and opens the doors of ? locked present. This forward looking, forward-living, biblical style of life is graphically de scribed in Hebrews 11:8-12. How can we make the biblical style of life a reality in our lives? God of our fathers, help ns live as those who have heard thy promise and press toward the fulfillment to be found in Jesus Christ. Amen.
