The skeptic is true in Il.
gument when he contend, - I
that which man believe, II
either be true Or false. u /.
not prove the things tb !. II
to exist in the present n
simply must believe them i n
as they are.
The purpose of Salvation !, i
transform belief into knovlss,I
1t takes the child who DeIisS
IN God because of the thing, \
has been told and which III
him a definite experience III
God so that he can now .,
know in whom I believe. w5,I
a man is born again Of the III
ms testimony is changed hi
oelleving into knowing. He ma
to believe in God as Peter N
John and the other desciolsE
But when Christ was ready
leave them, he told them Z.
in the u pper room and sr.
until they were endowed m
power from on high. He M
them to preach about a al
whom they knew, and not oII
whom they believed. He MI
them to go and get deapItI
experience with God, learn nd
to talk with God, learn how
work with God, learn Of cd
through a direct experience viii
the soul.
knowledge of God is not Al
tanned through study, throusl
reason, through argumentatioaI
even the Bible cannot make wl
know God, for the only way !
man can truly know God is d
seek till he finds Him; Knock
until the door is opened-aSkl
until he receives. He must IA
be ashamed Of God, He mud
take a bold stand for righteouI
ness and be willing to lay asia|
every weight. He must be vii
ing to forsake every weakness
seek and to have his past ta
given and walk anew in ID
path of Holiness and Righteous
ness. He must be able to mad
a full surrender to God, havnd
nothing come between. He mus
be able to wreStle with God and
steal away in the upper rood
and tarry and wait on God and
talk with God until he is endoT1
ed with power from on higt|
The man who only believes 4
God is still hungry for God. u
has no power, he has nothina
within to keep him or guide hi1'
through this sinful world, asl
unless he steps out with a strolI
determination to know the @
in whom he believes he is la
and lost forever
Except a man be born aga1
he cannot enter into the King
dom of Heaven; except a man
saved from sin he is doomed
sin and eternal damnataI
awaiteth his soul How can
man claim that he is born
God and still find pleasure
sin; How can he claim to
born of God when there be
difference in him and those WI
be not born of the spirit; H0
can a man claim to be born
God when he can testify Of
real and true experience
which he was made to knOI
God: For the man is born Of u
spirit has encountered an
nerience in his life that he Vou
want the world to know.
We find so much pleasure
being introduced to big fguI'
of society who, like ourSsl'
must someday be measured vii
the earth. Frail humanity seq
it's own level, we rise only to ia
and in the end the Great Reapa
of life levels all humanity 70 op
plane beneath the sod. The gloI
in life which we should seek
that in being introduced TO
Father by the Son, is that
knowing ourselves to be Ou
again. The God we fail to Sno'
on Earth in time We will reVa
know in heaven in Eternity
now is the time to seek, now
the time to ask, now is the ln
to knock and wait until the oOl
is opened and we are end07s'
with power from on hlg1
wherein we no longer believe q.
can know in whom we oels,'
and be persuaded that he IS 'u'
to keep that which he has ' .,.I
mitted unto Him against I'
day.
