WE CHALLENGE YOU ... .
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?”
