To Satisfactorily Answer These TWO QUESTIONS! Statistics show that 75% of the populace of Oregon do not regularly attend church. That, of course, is three out of every four residents. One cannot but wonder why, and to this grou-' we particularly direct the follow ing Bible questions, challenging you to satisfactorily answer them in your mind: QUESTION No. 1— “What More Can I Do?” This question is based on Isaiah 5:4 and is God’s challenge to the world. What more could He do for us than that He’s aireadv done? God created he world perfect in the first place ard placed sinless human beings in it created in His own image. (Gen 1 & 2). It was God’s inten tion that this state of perfection should always exist in this world. However, he gave man some thing else. A priceless gift. Free dom of choice. In doing so God took a calculated risk, the risk of rebellion. But His great divine nature of love could not coerce man to serve Him. What a su preme manifestation of love it was to give man, the being He bad created, the privilege of obey ing or disobeying as he chose. Genesis 3 tells how man abused the power of choice and blund ered his way right out of the Garden of Eden into a world of suffering and death. God had warned man that whereas obedi ence would result in eternal life, disobedience would bring the curse of death (Gen 2:17). But man. of his own free will, chose to disobey God and all of the suffering, sorrow and sin in the world today is a result of out own free choice. Even though man has rejected God, God has not rejected man. Of course, He could not allow man to live on forever in his sinful state, so He removed him from the source of everlasting life, the tree of life in the Gar den of Eden, and sent him out of the garden to eke out his ex istence from the soil of the earth (Gen. 3:22-24). God, in his love for even fall en, sinful man, made a provision for man to regain, if he chose, the lost paradise. But it was no easy thing for God, the Father, to do so, for it entailed sending H s only begotten Son into the worM to die the vicarious death for our sins (John 3:16). “All Heaven was emptied, all treasure in one; God gave us His all, when Ke gave us His Son. In Christ is redemption, sal vation for you; Accept Him just now; what more could He do?” What MORE Could God do than this? He emptied all the treasurer of heaven at once for us. He gave His most piecious gift. His own begotten Son. He kept nothing back. He gave us His all. He paicl the price of our salvation and all that wc have to do. if we wish to live in the paradise of the future, is to accept Jesus as our Savior from sin, by faith allowing His robe of righteousness to cover our rags of sin (Isa. 1:18). This is the science of salva tion. It is God’s greatest gift. This is the matchless love ot God for a world that loves Him not. QUESTION NO. 2— “How Shall We Escape If We Neglect So Great Salvation?’* (Heb. 2:3). Here is the great unanswera ble question. There is no possi ble way to escape the judgments of God and receive the gift ot eternal life except by accepting j Christ as your Savior from sin. 'See Rom. 6:23 and Acts 4:12'. No matter how good a life \ou try to live, the Bible stater r* cifically in the texts listed i'bove that the only way ANY CNE can be saved is by accept ing Christ. He alone paid the I ^tce for our redemption. And yet He is able and willing t) save ANY ONE that will come into the Father by Him (Heb. 1 ,25). Seventh-Day Adventists knov from their study of the Scrip tures that the day« in which we Eve are the days just prior to i h e second coming of Christ. (Study all of Matt. 24). He’s com ing soon to put an end to strife and bloodshed, to suffering and sin. But when He comes again, He comes to reward each indi- v ’dual according to his works 'Rev. 22:11,12) and the wages of sin is death, whereas, the gift of God to those who have accept ed Christ is eternal life (Rom 623). Therefore if we desire to es cape the wages of sin, we cannot p fiord any longer to NEGLECT the great salvation that God of- P r> today. Some day soon the door of mercy and grace will be shut once and for all and then it v ill be too late to turn to Christ (Amos 8:11,12). “In Christ is redemption, sal- vat’on for you; Accept Him just i -w What more could He do?” Seventh-Day Adventist Church BROOKINGS OREGON The World's Best Climate Violet Jaggers Tells Of Thrills That Were Hers On Reaver Girls State Jaunt “I was honored when I was selected to help represent this por tion of Oregon at Beaver Girls State, and thankful, too, for the opportunity which was made possible by Unit No. 138 of American Legion Auxiliary.
