out by saying that the atonement OF
Christ is the very foundation OF our
salvation. 1t is the only foundation
upon which we can hope to build
The hope for everlasting life. All
power, he said. belongs to God, and
lalI Gods power Is ar our disposal
to use for the glory of God so long
as we pay the price and meet the
conditions.
The evangelist declared that there
is one thing that separates man
from God and that is sin. Before
man can know God he must put
that sin away. Before man can
know God in the power of service
sin must be put away. There are a
lot of folks who think all they have
to do is TO connect themselves with
the church. you may connect with
every church in the universe, he
said, "but that does not connect you
with God. Sin breaks the connec-
| ton
He said there is only one thing
that puts sin away. Man cannot sy
any means CT his own tear sin out,
but God has provided a way, and That
is through the atonement of Christ.
ne declared that God is holy God
and holy God hates sin with a
holy hatred. Every man and wo-
man, he said, hates sin in proper
ton to their life of Righteousness.
! He declared that what the church
needs is a vision. He said that sin
was due to be punished and the
stripes that were to fall ON us were

had not been for the blood OF Christ
God could never have dealt in mercy
with a sinner In Gods plan Jesus
! Christ was the lamb slain from the
foundation of the world. All the
merciful things that God has sought
for the human race since the fall
of Adam has been on the ground OF
the shed bl cd of Christ.
He asked the question why did
Christ have to die?" ard answered
it by saying that man deliberately
separated himself from God through
rebellion and was under the con
demnation of the law Through the
blood of Christ we have redemption
and forgiveness of sins. We are moi
redeemed. by gold or silver, he said
nor are we redeemed by any cor
ruptibla things. The redemption
price must come from heaven. For.
