I ' Lesson for April 8 Lesson subjects and Scripture text* selected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by ' permission. THE BOOK AND THE FAITH LESSON TEXT—Psalm 145:10-17. GOLDEN TEXT—The word of the 'Lord endureth forever.—l Peter 1 25 Christians are the people of one book—the Bible. They read and use other books, but the book is God's Word, and everything else must be in accord with its teaching Tn this blessed Book they find the i only revelation of God’s saving grace Other attributes of God may be found in the book of nature. There we find that God is powerful, orderly, wise, etc., but nowhere in nature is it written that God can sav a man from his sin. We find that only in the Bible, God's written Word as it reveals Jesus Christ the Saviour who is the Living Word. I. The Eternal Glory of God's Kingdom (vv. 10-13). The kingdom of God refers to His reign over all things and beings, but with special reference to those who are willingly subject to Him and eager to live for His glory. Everything in God's creation is to be lifted up in praise of that kingdom. All His works shall praise Him. They reveal Him in part, but even that limited revelation is glorious. The man who cannot see God in nature is indeed a dull clod. The heavens declare His glory and the earth shows forth His handiwork (Ps. 19:1). Greater and more precious in Grid's sight is the praise of His saints. Dumb adoration is aeceptabjfsonly from a dumb creation. We, Hisusaints, arc to speak His praise,, to "bless" Him (v. 10). We are to spread abroad among all men (v. 12.1'the news of God's greatness and goodness. ".His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom," and thus it at once takes its place as so superior to what men call kingdoms as hardly to be mentioned in the same breath. There is no limit to God’s kingdom either in its extent or its duration. How stupid then that some, yes many, foolish men and women set themselves up in rebellion against God That is the height of all folly and leads only to disaster. How wise are those who yield their lives to His control that their little span of I life may find rich meaning in the . One who endures forever. 11. The Abundant Provision of j God’s Mercy (vv. 14-16). We are all completely dependent j on the mercies of God for everything i that we need for life—physical, men-1 tai. and spiritual. Consider the food for the body. God open His bountiful hand and every living creature is provided with the food necessary for its sustenance. How this is accomplished is a mystery and a marvel to us. but God is able to do it. Centuries ago men were fearful that the earth could not produce enough food to keep the increasing population of mankind alive, but God , sees to that even when He has to do I it in spite of man's waste and de- I st ruction. However, life is not just material. There must be a satisfying of man’s spiritual nature. He needs someone to save him from his own sinful weakness, to deliver him from his sorrow and affliction. Who can do this but God? And He does it (see v. 14). How does He do it? Through the ministry of His Holy Word. Therein man finds salvation and satisfaction. The Bible is the light that shines upon his way. It is his comfort in sorrow and his strength in temptation. It exhorts and encourages. convicts and cures. How endless and how overflowing is the mercy of our God. Let us “wait upon" Him, knowing that He ! Is not only mindful of our need, but i eager to do for us more than we \ can ask or think. 111. The Saving Power of God’s Grace (vv. 17-19) The Lord, who "is nigh unto all ! them that call upon him” (v. 18), ; is able to save because He is “right- i ecus in all his ways and holy in l alt his works" (v. 17). Only a just! ap.d holy God can deal with sin. and yet only a merciful God would pro-; vide redemption; but in our God mercy and truth meet (Ps. 115: 1; Ps. 103). He is both “just and the justifier of him that believeth in Jesus’.’ (Rom. 3:26). He it is who is near to all that | “call upon him in truth” (v. 18).; and surely it is such a calling on the Lord which is in mind in Romans JO: 13, where we read that ”w] so 1 ever shall call upon the name of Lord shall be saved." He saves us' by His grace when we call on Him ! in truth. Notice that God’s nearness, His salvation, and His fulfillment of the desires of man are for those who call on Him and who “fear Him’’' tv. 19). This is not a matter of nnagicgl use of a name, or an out-' ward profession of faith. It must . eome from the heart, and when it does.. God responds. 1 go we find God's word to be the ! source of our instruction concerning those things which can make us wise , fnto salvation HI Tim. 3.15). It is the Book of our faith!
