THE KNOWLEDGE
OF SALVATION.
(Ry Mrs. C. E. Quillen)

Luke 1: IT.
We will obtain the knowledge
of salvation by repentance. To
repent is to turn our lives a.
round and go in an opposite
direction. We were once on the
road that leads to destruction
now we are on the road that
leads upward. We also obtain
knowledge by the faith we
have. '.He that believeth on the
son of God hath the witness in
himself: he that believeth not
God hath made him a liar; be-
cause he believeth not the re-
cord that God gave of the Son.

The knowledge of our salvat-
ion IS communicated to us by
The Shirt. "The Spirit itself
beareth witness with our spirit,
that we are the children of God
Romans 8:16. "And because We
are sons, God hath sent forth
the Spirit of his Son into your
hearts, crying Abba, Father"
Gal. 4:6.
We also obtain the knowledge
by the word of God. "These
things have | written unto you
that believe on the name of the
Son of God: that We may know
that We have eternal life, and
that We may believe on the
name of the Son of God. 1-John
5:13.
Salvation gives us different
nature to what we had while
in sin. s'We know that we have
passed from death unto life,
because we love the brethren.
He that loveth not his brother
abideth in DEATH. 1-John 3:14.
We cannot hate anyone and
have eternal life abiding in us.
| know, personally, girl, who
was seeking salvation, and
would not speak to a school
mate of hers. She said this was
the only thing that stood be-
tween her and the Lord. When
she finally humbled herself e.
nough to promise the Lord that
she would make things right
between the girl and herself,
she got the victory and was
gloriously saved. And the first
opportunity that presented it.
self she did make things right.
She is still saved and in the SER
vice of the Lord.
If we keep his command
ments. we know he abideth in
us. "And he that keepeth his
commandments dwelleth in
him. and he in him, and hereby
we know that he abideth in us,
by the Spirit which he hath
given u.s.. 1-John 1924.
Hereby know we that we
dwell in him. and he in us. be-
cause he hath given us of his
Spirit. 1-John ALB.
"And we know that we are
of God. and the whole world
lieth in wickedness. "And we
know that the Son of God is
come. and hath given us under
standing, that we may know
him that is true, and we are in
him that is true, even in his
Son Jesus Christ. "This is the
true God, and eternal life",
1-John 5:19-20.
The knowledge of salvation
imparts peace and rest.
Therefore being Justified
by faith, we have peace with
God through our Lord Jesus
Christ. Romans 81.
For we which have believed
do enter into rest. Heb. 4::3.
knowledge of salvation will
give us confidence.
And now little children, a.
bide in him; that when he shall
appear. we may have confid
>ence, and not be ashamed be
fore him at his coming. limo

While in sin we are not sat
isfied with our lot in life, bu
after we have been saved w,
have that satisfied feeling il
our heart, that all is well will
our soul. We give up our wa,
in life and take Gods way. W.
give up the pleasures of thi
world and get true pleasure
We will not want to partake O
anything the world partake
of. The. world (sinners) doe
not love the things of God, be
cause they haven't the love o
God in their heart. Therfor
