Paper// Our 'Lenten column this week has been written by the Rev. William C . Wells , pastor of. the Calvary Alliance Church i n Ar cade. TUB rUKFOSB OK CALVAKY An interesting story comes out of the battle at Waterloo between Napoleon and Wellington. It \ seems that a semaphore signalled the following message across the channel — \WELLINGTON DE FEATED—at which time the fog set in and evening came. The English sorrowed—they had been defeated — But wait; morning came and the message was com pleted—WELLINGTON DEFEAT- ed-TfHE-ENEMY. News spread; people rejoiced. The same thing happened back almost two thousand years ago. Alter Calvary — CHRIST DE FEATED. Three days later, the. sorrow of His people was turned to joy. The message was com pleted CHEIST DEFEATED- THE-ENEMY, satan, si n and death! Men have been since time im memorial seeking and searching for a way of salvation. They have trie d differen t means and various methods As we approach this ALL IMPORTANT problem, we must make sure that our con clusions are based entirely upon the Word of God, the fina l author ity of the believer. Thus we would like at thi s seasd n to consider three or four basi c facts regarding our relationship to God and how we might be ABSOLUTELY sure of This Great Gif t of Salvation. First—\ALL HAVE SINNED\ —This—is an unpleasant thought to say the least. It 'hurt s our ego, because we think of ourselves as being pretty nice people . We may be good as far as this world's standard is concerned but this isn't the point nor Is this the standard that brings salvation. The psalmist said— \In sin did my mother conceive me.\ Paul In Romans 3:23 said—\For all— have sinned and come short o f the glory of God.\ Space permits only these two references, al- - though others could be added. The fact is, ALL HAVE SINNED and because al l men have sinned— ALL MEN NEED A SAVIOUR. We try al l the ways which are seemingly available. We try church membership and church attendance, baptism and con firmation, goo d works and decent living, to mention but a few. These, as goo d a s they may be i n themselves and they are good, do not bring salvation. In other words, we cannot save ourselves. Our education, our riches, our family life,' our church, cannot save us. In I Cor. 15.3 wc read \. . . how that Christ died for ou r sins according to the scriptures.\ In words so simple and so plain, there I s but one way of salvation and that Is through the Lord Jesus Christ. \For by grace are ye saved through faith , and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.\ Again i n Rom. 6:23—\The wages o f sin Is death, BUT the gif t o f God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.\ John 14:0 —\Jesus sai d unto them, 'I am THE Way, THE Truth and THE Life; NO MAN cometh unto the Father but by Me,\ Peter In one o f his great sermons (acts. 4:12 ) said, Neither Is there salvation i n any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved This then was the purpose of Calvary, Jesus \died for our sins.\ You see , it had to be Jesus Christ and no other. He was the only begotten Son of; God, ful l of grace and truth. He was the only one of whom It could be said—\Very God of very God; very man of very man.\ Have you In fait h received this Christ as your own personal Saviour? I s His atoning work on Calvary just a doctrine to you or has it als o been an experience? How does this become an experi ence? By realizing we arc sinners; by confessing to God (the Father), through the Lord Jesus Christ (the Son), \For there Is ONE Mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus,\ and by accepting Him in our heart and life as our Saviour and Lord. Have you re ceived this Christ as your very own? If not , we recommend Him to you, today.
