1 THE ’ TBIBLE I— sw _ 4 iSfoTTpH ißlUullaßl Seto! 1.-- .n. Pdi By LOUBE U. WEWTOW. 0 _0 SCRIPTURE; Acts 2:37-47; Ephesians READING: Ephesians 4:1-6. 11-13. Christian Fellowship Lesson for February 22, 1948 George Washington was a splendid example of Christian fellowship. If you will travel through the older portion of the United

States, particularly | in Virginia, you will I come upon numerI ous instances of | church pews ’ marked as follows, 1 “George Washings ton worshipped in i; this pew on blank I date.” Evidently, it I was his custom to I attend public worI ship in whatever community he spent the Lord’s day.

Dr. Newton

Thus he entered into Christian fellowship, gaining a blessing and rendering a blessing. The lesson passage for Sunday is found in Acts 2:37-47 and Ephesians 4:1-6, with several other passages 1 which will be quoted before we finish the column for this week. A HAPPY TIME IN CHURCH READ Acts 2:41-47, and you will ' find a picture of a group of very happy people. Think of it, three 1 thousand people professing faith in < Jesus ancl receiving baptism in one day! But read on—they were not f only happy at church, but they were happy because they were in the j church. They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teachings and fellowship and breaking of bread and prayer. They praised God and had favor with all the people. By their daily living they were convincing the world that fellowship in Christ is not only good on Sunday while we are at the meeting house, but good every day. ' The happy homes are the homes where Christian fellowship abounds, and it is equally true in every area of life. AT CHURCH WITH FRIENDS "1 uas glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of the Lord,” Psalm 122:1. 'T'HAT is poetry, you will agree, but it is also actual testimony not only of the Psalmist, but of countless junior boys and girls throughout our land who eagerly await the sound of the church bells. Boys and girls delight to go to Sunday school and worship when the life of the church is pervaded with i. Christian fellowship. There they meet the finest boys and girls in the community. I BELONGING TO THE CHURCH THE passage in Acts 2:37-47 tells us how certain people, after hearing the great sermon by Peter, 1 asked how they might be sayed. He told them: “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” When we invite intermediate friends to attend Sunday school and worship services with us, and they come to know of the love of God, they, too, will want to be saved. It is then the high privilege of Christian boys and girls to lead their friends to accept Jesus Christ as Saviour, and come into the church. In Ephesians 4:4-6, we read these words: “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of us all, who is above all and through all and in all.” ALL ONE IN CHRIST 'T'.-IE above passage from Ephe- *■ siars teaches clearly that there is a brotherhood of man, real and abiding, when we accept the Fatherhood of God, through Jesus Christ. This is the meaning of the church. No amount of man-made creeds can save us. No amount of ritual and ceremony can save us. We are saved by grace through faith, and that is the gift of God. When we repent of our sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, we are saved, and not until then. Tlje one adequate solvent for the crying needs of this frightened world is the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Just as thousands 1 were saved on Pentecost and again on the Lord's Day when Peter preached in Solomon’s porch, so today many may be saved where the Gospel is proclaimed in its simplicity and power. We are one in Christ, of every race and every tongue. The fellowship of Christian faith transcends every barrier — racial, economic, geographic, political, religious. We have but to proclaim the universality of this good news—proclaim it in our words and proclaim it in our daily lives. • « • (Copyright by tbs International Council of Religious Rduaation an behalf of 4 1 Protestant ienaminttions.
