*We Are His People' Lessor for April 15,

TXTHEN A Christian today in ™ church repeats the ancient Psalm, “We are His people,” if he knows what he is saying he is associating himself with Abraham,

Dr. Foreman

Isaac, and Jacob. The God of the Bible is not a “great first pause” or a “principle” of any sort. First; last and always He is the God of the Covenant. Over and over agaib He is galled the, “God Abraham, Isaac

and The stories of these men are not mere campfire tales of legendary ancestors. They are the story of how these men were related toGod in a solemn covenant; they tvere “God’s people” in a special way. In the Ney Testament we find the strange yet stirring declaration that God was “not ashamed to be their God.’? k J ’ The Living God ■pHE FULL meaning of what the * has to tell us about God can be discovered best by coming toward an understanding of what the covenant idea means. What is meant by the Covenant God, one who makes: covenants with men? First of all, it means that God is Mvlng. He is not a mere observer of events with which He has nothing to do. If Wo could put it into modern American language, God does not sit in the bleachers; He playa the game. He does not, as it were, ' read the newspapers to see how the war against evil goes on;' He is out on the field directing! the battles. - God is not something to be talked about, a problem, an X; He is not a creation of men’s minds, God is not a name for an idea. He is more alive than any one who thinks about Him, He is more real than any who Over doubted Him. i • • • Only Persons Make Covenants *|*HE GREAT difference between * things and people is that people have wills of their own. And God is a person. You will not find in the Bible any statement directly saying that God is or a person; but every time a Covenant between God and man is mentioned, the idea of personality is there. v No one who ever knew God would think of; calling Him “It” even with capital letters. If we say “He” about God it is not because we think He is masculine; it would be quite as true to call Him Mother-God as Father-God. As Dr. Reynolds, Presbyterian missionary to Korea, has pointed out, all the best qualities we associate with motherhood are in the Bible attributed to God. So if we call God “He” what we are emphasizing is that He is personal, that He has intelligence and will of His own, no vague It or That or “AU.” Then the Covenant God Is one Who takes the initiative. The Bible tells of a God who does not wait on a snow clad peak of eternity till lost mankind somehow breaks A trail up the vast ranges to His lofty throne. It teUs of a God who walks in the valley of the shadows, seeking men. All religions have gods, some of them very “high and lifted up”; but only the Bible reveals the true God, whose mercy does not have to be bought or coaxed, but a God whp approaches man in mercy, a God who is all-giving Love. t• ■ • God Makes His Own Terms ■ ft T T|lE same time, God re- ** mains God. He is not on a level With man. He takes the initiative, but also He makes His own terms. We cannot dictate to Him. We cannot draw up. our own contracts, so to speak. God made promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and we are “heirs of the promises.” But these promises ate not \ promiscuous. To put it quite simply: God is not on friendly terms with every one. He is a friend to all who will be His friends. But with those who turn their backs, who go their own ways, who care little or nothing for His great purposes, who do not seek His will, God makes no covenants. God’s will is the welfare of mankind. God’s will is the destruction of evil, the creation and triumph of good. God is light and in Him is no darkness at aU. If we love darkness'rather than light, we have no right tq be caUed His people. We cannot call ourselves His people because we are Americans,*or because we belong to some church; we can caU ourselves His people 'only if our hearts are in tune with His. ’ <C»pyrUht 1951 the Diviaion or Christian Education, National Council ot the Churches of Christ in the I nited States ot America.
