COMMANDS AND GRACE- ------SELECTED

                         COMMANDS AND GRACE

      It is unfortunate that some religious teachers

          have placed the grace of God on the

     one side, and the commands of God over 

          against it, thus making  them antagonistic,

     and have taught that if man  obeys God's

           conditions of salvation he is not depe-

     ndiing on the grace of God, and that if he

            depends on God's grace, the keeping

     God's commands is a matter of no con- 

            sequence. But the person not blinded

    by these theories see in all of God's commands

            His grace or favor for man. God has

     shown man how to live, He has taught him

           the true philosophy of life. It is easy,

    therefore, to see that man's highest good and

           happiness lies along the pathway

    of obedience to God.

I  implore you to enter into this pathway

before it is to late. You can have this

choice today.

Believe in Jesus as God's only Son;

repent of your sins; confess that you

believe that Jesus is God's Son sent

 to save us. You then, have the

blessing of being immersed in water with

the assurance that you are forgiven and

were baptized into Christ and now you,

by the grace of God,are in His family and

and find joy in keeping His commandments !!!!!!!!!!
