<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">What need of His government if so little is to be
effected in our behalf either in a way of deliverance from sin, or in a way of

necessarily must be required of His Surety. And consequently, the whole work of
Christ, whether for us or in us, is reduced in proportion as we reduce the
demands of the law, and the necessities of man.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The principles of theology are brought down to the

affect our salvation, we shall see that we must inevitably perish. If we have
none but a creature to depend on, we would be glad to be permitted to take our
portion under rocks and mountains.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The first dimension of Christian life, our faith, our
connection to God, is much more essential. The second dimension, or good works,
is never as valuable as faith.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In today’s world, people admire Christ because He is a
great teacher, the greatest ethicist. He is admired for dying for His ideals. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

people. Trying to make a change in our society.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It is important to clarify the seriousness of this
matter. To extricate Christ from the secularization process in which He has
been incorporated.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We maintain a distance between Him. Take a step away
from the word of Christ. And never allow no serious encounter to take place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We live with Christ as a religious genious. As an
ethicist. As a gentleman.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Good works have almost always and everywhere been
valued more highly than faith. They are easier to measure. And easier to see
and to show to other people than abstract commitment to a “faith”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It is true that we should go good works and respect
the importance of them. There is no such thing as cheap grace. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We cannot sit still and look at our brothers’ and
sisters’ suffering and claim that we have faith in Christ. That we are His
children and heirs of His Kingdoms.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">But in Martin Luther’s words: “…we should be careful
that we don’t elevate good works to such an extent that faith and Christ become
secondary. If we esteem them too highly, good works can become the greatest
idolatry. This has occurred both inside and outside of Christianity. Some people
value good works so much that they overlook faith in Christ. They preach about
and praise their own works instead of God’s works.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The religion is a man-made thing. It is something that
people do. A building we build, so that we can sit inside, together. And feel
that we belong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">But Christianity is something different. At its heart
there is something different. Christ Himself – a living God. A real person. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Our faith, everything about Christianity. Is about the
relationship we have with this person. This King of King, the ruler of all and
everything. The creator of earth and heaven. The Father of All. The One and
Only.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">As Dietrich Bonhoeffer says: “Factually speaking,
Christ has given scarcely any ethical prescriptions that were not to be found
already with the contemporary Jewish rabbis or in pagan literature.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Christianity isn’t about a new and better set of
behavioral rules or about moral accomplishment. The religion and moral
performance are the very enemies of Christianity and Christ.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">C. S. Lewis has an interesting story. He talks about the way the limpets and limpet mystic would understand what is a man in his book Miracles.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">
<i>"Let us suppose a mystical limpet, a sage among limpets, who (rapt in vision) catches a glimpse of what Man is like. In reporting it to his disciples, who have some vision themselves (though less than he) he will have to use many negatives. He will have to tell them that Man has no shell, is not attached to a rock, is not surrounded by water. And his disciples, having a little vision of their own to help them, do get some idea of Man. But then there come erudite limpets, limpets who write histories of philosophy and give lectures on comparative religion, and who have never had any vision of their own. What they get out of the prophetic limpet’s words is simply and solely the negatives. From these, uncorrected by any positive insight, they build up a picture of Man as a sort of amorphous jelly (he has no shell) existing nowhere in particular (he is not attached to a rock) and never taking nourishment (there is no water to drift it towards him). And having a traditional reverence for Man they conclude that to be a famished jelly in a dimensionless void is the supreme mode of existence, and reject as crude, materialistic superstition any doctrine which would attribute to Man a definite shape, a structure, and organs."</i></div>

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">
<i>"Our own situation is much like that of the erudite limpets. Great prophets and saints have an intuition of God which is positive and concrete in the highest degree. Because, just touching the fringes of His being, they have seen that He is plenitude of life and energy and joy, therefore (and for no other reason) they have to pronounce that He transcends those limitations which we call personality, passion, change, materiality, and the like. The positive quality in Him which repels these limitations is their only ground for all the negatives. But when we come limping after and try to construct an intellectual or ‘enlightened’ religion, we take over these negatives (infinite, immaterial, impassible, immutable, etc.) and use them unchecked by any positive intuition. At each step we have to strip off from our idea of God some human attribute. But the only real reason for stripping off the human attribute is to make room for putting in some positive divine attribute. In St Paul’s language, the purpose of all this unclothing is not that our idea of God should reach nakedness but that it should be reclothed. But unhappily we have no means of doing the reclothing. When we have removed from our idea of God some puny human characteristic, we (as merely erudite or intelligent enquirers) have no resources from which to supply that blindingly real and concrete attribute of Deity which ought to replace it. Thus at each step in the process of refinement our idea of God contains less, and the fatal pictures come in (an endless, silent sea, an empty sky beyond all stars, a dome of white radiance) and we reach at last mere zero and worship a nonentity."</i></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Four months ago I left my home of more than three

<div align="center" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div align="center" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">A home that we had made together with my

<div align="center" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

"Forgive one another, as Christ has forgiven you" (Eph 4:32). Hence

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">"Justice means that love must always be shown,
whether or not a situation of immediate need presents itself in pressing and
vivid fashion. Love in the biblical sense, then, is not merely to indulge
someone near at hand. Rather, it inherently involves justice as well. This
means there will be a concern for the ultimate welfare of all humanity, a
passion to do what is right, and enforcement of appropriate consequences for
wrong action. Actually, love and justice have worked together in God's dealing
with the human race. God's justice requires that there be payment of the
penalty for sin. God's love, however, desires humans to be restored to
fellowship with him. The offer of Jesus Christ as the atonement for sin means
that both the justice and the love of God have been maintained,"<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Since God is both willing and able to create a world

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The humorous answer
was that God was spending His time preparing hell for people who ask question
like this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

certain person is reported to have done facetiously (avoiding the pressure of
the question), “He was preparing hell,” saith he, “for those who pry into
mysteries.” It is one thing to perceive, another to laugh,—these things I
answer not.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The serious answer

thought of any one should wander through the images of bygone time, and wonder
that Thou, the God Almighty, and All-creating, and All-sustaining, the
Architect of heaven and earth, didst for innumerable ages refrain from so great
a work before Thou wouldst make it, let him awake and consider that he wonders
at false things. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">For
whence could innumerable ages pass by which Thou didst not make, since Thou art
the Author and Creator of all ages? Or what times should those be which were
not made by Thee? Or how should they pass by if they had not been? Since,
therefore, Thou art the Creator of all times, if any time was before Thou
madest heaven and earth, why is it said that Thou didst refrain from working?
For that very time Thou madest, nor could times pass by before Thou madest
times. But if before heaven and earth there was no time, why
is it asked, What didst Thou then? </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">For there was

testimony of the worshiping, seeking, singing church on that subject (of
seeking Go) is crisply set aside. The experimental heart – theology of a grand
army of fragrant saints is rejected in favor of a smug interpretation of
Scripture which would certainly have sounded strange to an Augustine, a
Rutheford or a Brainerd.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It wrongly assumes

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Of course, everything

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">According to
astronomer Robert Jastrow “Once hydrogen has been burned within that star and converted
to heavier elements, it can never be restored to its original state.” So
“minute by minute and year by year, as hydrogen is used up in stars, the supply
of this element grows smaller”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

amount of actual energy stays the same but the universe is running out of usable

not eternal, it needs a cause. On the other hand, if it has no beginning, it does
not need a cause of its beginning. Likewise, if a God exists who has no
beginning, it is absurd to ask, “Who made God?” It is a category mistake to
ask, “Who made the Unmade”, or “Who created the Uncreated?” One may as well
ask, ”Where is the bachelor’s wife?”.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
