Devotional Readlnc Psalm 101:1-*. God’s Gall Lesson for November IS, 1962 THERE is a word older than the Christian religion to express what happens to a man when God gets hold of him. The word is “saved.” To its hearers in times post the word meant rescued, delivered, set free. That is still what it means, though pr l|| many Christians K H are not aware of it. Some people, iPTM especially people Ibjpr** j||« w^^out religion, yJKgpypM think that when a man becomes a ■wr KM Christian he gives ■ A JH up his freedom Dr. Foreman an <j yg pleasure, and thereafter lives a tied-down wretched life. Quite the contrary. The Christian is not tied, he is untied, not chained but free, set free. Saved from what? So much is said about this in the New Testament that we can take only one single passage of the many that have been listed for this lesson: Ephesians 2:1-10. The great word here is "made alive.” The new Christian hasn’t stopped living, he just never knew before what it is to live. The difference between before and after is the difference between death and life. What kind of life is the "dead” life? Three things are said of it: it is a life enslaved by the "spirit of disobedience”; it is a life enslaved to impulses and passions shared with the beasts; it is a life under “wrath.” To put it into our everyday language, we may say that what God saves us from is (1) the habit of disobedience to God (and how seif-destruc-tive it is to be living as an enemy of Life!); (2) the habit of piggish self-indulgence; and (3) an existence shadowed by the constant fact that one has turned one’s back on God himself. From all this, God calls us away. Savtd by what I A reader will object at this point. Does this mean that all Christians were at one time crim- ; inals, outright and outrageous sin- ! ners? Do I have to be God’s ! enemy before I can be his friend? j Not at all. Many readers of these lines cannot remember a time when they did not think of themselves as Christians. In many cities there are “rescue missions” in the dirtiest and meanest parts of town, for derelicts, hoboes, ! down-and-outs. These rescue missions do a great deal of good. But there are also what can be called Prevention Missions if they do their job right; ordinary run-of-mine unpretentious main-line Christian churches, which by their life and work are every day saving their young people from starting on the road that ends in Skid Row. Whether it’s a prevention or a rescue mission, what we’re all either dragged out of or kept out of, is all the same thing. So what is it that saves us? Again it’s all the same. We are saved by “grace,” that is, God might have let us go—“good riddance to bad rubbish.” But instead, he cared intensely for us, the pure and holy God actually loved and loves the soiled and selfish race of man. The point is that it is not because we were so good, God was bound to save us. He was so good that he saved us. Saved through whit7 S

One thing is made clear all through the Bible. If man, —the race of man or some particular man—is going to be saved, he cannot save himself. God saves him; God’s grace, that is to say his freely given love, saves us. But a life preserver will not hold a man up if he will not take hold of it. A word of wisdom might as well be a word of foolishness if no one pays any attention. Savtd for what? If a lifeguard has rescued a drowning man at the beach, the rescued man will not be so silly as to set up a tent beside the lifeguard’s chair and every five minutes for the come to thank the lifeguard again. He will be eternally grateful for having been rescued. But if he never thought before, he may well think now: My life was almost washed away, and now it has been given back to me: what shall I do with It? So when God’s call comes to a person, it is not a call to a perpetual vacation, it is a call to work. We are saved not because what we have done earns the priceless love of God. We are saved to do the kind of work that God can do only through human beings,—saved to work with God.

OUR THANKSGIVING PRAYER Rev. James R. Meadows Our Father which art in Heaven, we do thank Thee for all Thy bounteous blessings. We thank Thee for Thy marvelous presence in the lives of all true believers. No, dear Heavenly Father, we call upon Thee to bless and protect the young people of our land. Thou knowest that many are being reared in homes where their parents do not know Thee. Grant that they may be protected from the evils of life, and may we, as Chrsitians, pray more for the children, who have not praying fathers and mothers, that Thou may in some way cause the scales to fall from these parents’ eyes that they may see and realize the responsibility they owe their children to train them up in the fear and admonition of the Lord. Bless all the churches of our land that are upholding the true Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, and Thy ministering servants who boldly stand behind the sacred desk and proclaim Thy Word in all It’s purity, that souls will be saved from sin and that Christians will be drawn closer to Thee. Bless in the revivals that are in progress during these months that they may result in a mightly Holy Ghost Revival sweeping over the land and transforming many homes of wickedness into homes of prayer. Dear Heavenly Father, reach out to those who are wandering away from the fold. Draw them back by Your mighty power, and fill them with the blessed Holy Ghost
