1667.—The Christian Life.

By Editor

It must be joy to serve God with gladness, knowing that one's life is cleansed from sin. But how such a condition can be obtained I can not understand.

What if you can not understand; must you wait for that? You sow the seed in the ground; do you understand how soil and sunshine and moisture is transmuted into wheat and corn? Yet it is done. Do you wish to know the doctrine, the teachings of Christ in yourself? Here is God's answer through His Son: "If any man willeth to do His will, He shall know of the teaching." John 7:17. You can do that. You may choose God's way, the self-denial, the humility of Christ, the giving-up of all things to God, to be what He will make you, to do what He commands you to do; if you do that, believing Him to be in you all He has promised, you shall know the joy, the peace, the blessing of life. Prove John 7:17, and believe Jesus Christ to be the Way, the Truth, the Life, in you, your Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, Redemption. John 14:6; 1 Cor. 1:30. Believe, simply believe.
