Sermon to the People BY THE REV G G BRUCE PRESBYTERIAN BILLBOARD. It is bettel to do Rood tilt n to liie and die useless "What is a man profited if he shall Rain the "hole world. and lose his own sotll"" Matt 16:26. ALL OF GRACE: SAVED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH. ‘ By grace are ye saved through faith.” Kph. Grace is the foundation 'lead of our salvation. It is not for any thing that is in us, or ever can he in us. that we are saved, but because of the boundless love, good ness, pity, compassion, mercy and grace of God. trod i- gracious, therefore, sinners are pardoned, puri Led. and saved. Oh. the vastness of the grace of God' Y.'ho can measure its breadth? \\ .0 can tailiom its depth? Who can scale its heiglit ? Like all the ret of the divine attributes it is inlinite. We find God full of love, lor "God is love." (tod is full of goodness for the very name God ir. short for good. It is because ‘His mercy endureth forevei" that men are not destroyed; because "His compassion faileth not” that sinner arc brought to Himself and forgiven. It is well to ever keep in mind the distinguishing features between grace and faith. Grace is the foun tain head; faith the channel of nahrati- a. Yes. and grac > even the source of faith itself. Faith is the work of God's grace in us. oN man can say that Jesus is the Christ except by the Holy Spirit. "No man cometh unto rue except tin* Father which sent me draw him." said Jesus. So that even the taith that brings the soul to Christ is the result of divine draw ing. Grace is the first and last moving cause of salvation; and f.vth. essential as it is is only ai. important part of the machinery that gr.-.ce employs. We are saved "through faith.” bui salvation is "by grace.” Above one of the towns in eastern Washington is a large spring who:- - sparkling waters are convt yed to the residents below by a conduit. The spring is never failing, but sometimes the conduit needs re pairing. As long as the conduit is whole the residents are happy; let it get out of repair and set in.; trouble threatens those who drink of the cleat waters. The spring represents God's grace, and the conduit represents man's faith. Grace is the fountain and the stream; faith is the conduit down through which the water- are con veyed to the thirsty souls of men. It is a great pity when the aque duct is broken; grace continues as before, but not to tiio.se who had depended on the conduit to bring grace to them. One of the sad sights n life is a man with iiis faith broken. Faith then being not the fountain head but the channel of blessing the soul must not exalt ills faith above the divine source of the grace of God. It is a sad mistake to make a Christ out of your faith. The life is found in "looking unto Jesus," not in looking to our own faith. All things are possible "to him that beMeveth," but the power » is not in the faith but in (God from whom faith comes by grace. Grace is the locomotive engine, and faith is the chain that connects the cars to the -locomotive wherein is found the power The moral excellence of faith does not rest in its righteousness, but in the righteousness of Christ which faith grasps and appropriates. The peace that resides in the soul does not come from the contemplation of our own faith; but it comes to us from Him who is our peace. We touch the hem of His garment and virtue comes out of Him to our souls. It would be impossible for the weakness of a soul's faith to de stroy that soul. For a trembling hand can receive a golden gift. $f the conduit is small it will cany water, and all that it can, but it will carry some water. If your faith is small it will bring you some blessings, but no faith will bring you no blessings, not be cause there are no blessings of gra^e, but because there is no conduit of faith. Great messages can be sent along slender wires, cr with no wires at all, but there must always be a receiving sta tion or the message will not reach you. It may be that thousands of others are getting that same mes sage, and yet God is not impover ished if you also receive the same message. Look well to your re ceiving station. If you stop to think you will realize that your wires are down and have been down for y.-->rB, Repair the wires and do it quickly. Stop to think how many messages that you might have re ceived all these years, and remem ber that grace is waiting to use ycur faith. But just what is faith? Many answers have been given and many are the more confounded by the multiplication of answers Like tin old negro preacher who said. "Now bruddets, 1 want to confound to you tlus t-xt before us" It is possible to expound faith until nobouy un derstands it. but lu.ith is the situ plest ot all tilings May it be made plain to you. Faith is utade tip of thiee tliji -- knowledge, belief and trust. Know; >dge comes first. "How shall t.iey relieve in Him of whom they have not heard"" You must he inlornes ! a fact before you i a:i possibly believe it "Faith eonieth by lest mg," we must first hear be; re we eii. expect to kn >w "They tii.it know Thy name shall put . ■ it trust in Thee "Incline yo.tr and come to me; hear, and ye t soul shall live" Seek to know tied it you want to know Him Search the Scriptures and learn wi;at the Holy Spirit would teh you concerning Christ and salv.i ti' 11 And you have not n-ad tie liilj! ■ in years' Then whose fault i is that you are going down and down with the years? Are you going to lay it to the weather or the plants ■ Seek to know God, "For he that coni et h to God must believe Cm! He i.-, and that He is a r< gardei of them that diligently seek him. Know .1. ns, know what the "go 1 tidings” are know that salvation is for you; that pardon, and purity and peace, and power have been available this long time, and come and "take of the water of life freely.” Know that the Lord "mad Hiln to be sin for us, that wr might be made the righteousni. of Cod in Him.” Faith begins with knowledge. Tin n the mind goes on to be lieve that t' esc things are true The souls believe that God is, and that lit hears the cry of the lain viv soul; that the gospel is from God; that salvation is free an., abundant cleansing even "to tie uttermie t” all those who b li . ti.at the Holy Spirit "takes t. things of Christ and makes them .iftcwn” unto him who believes. Believe tiiat the blood of a Christ, His Son clean.eth us from all sin. Believe these truths just is you believe some other iruti.s 1 There an intellectual faith • ml there is a saving faith. The Hi.; "confounds; " the second "expounds " When you wore a boy how many books did you need tu study to know that your mother loved you? it was t ie faith of experience that compelled you to believe her lev : \ ou let intellectual knowledge l. i is proper place, and forgot i •>iii yi.ii knew your mother loved j you dearly. It is just such child like faith that brings a soul in living contact with toe fail p i saves. Belief is a step past know ledge. You have had knowledge and you have believed, and you arc ready for the next step, which i trust. “He will keep him in p r- j feet peace; because he trusti to in Thee." Commit yourself to t 10 ; oo'di ! Cod: rest ail your hop ■ ; on t!i" grace os gosp; !• ht, i y ,i. soul to the dying and living Christ; 1 wash away vour sins in His atoning ! blood; acc'-pt His perfect righto >• mss. and all is well. Lean wit’: all your weight on Christ. Cling to the Rock oi Ages. If you realiz your peril vou will do this with the same energy that you would j ling to a piece of wreckage float ing near you in the shipwreck of life. That done, you have exercised saving faith. Faith is not a blind thing; for faith begins with kn .vl edge. Faith is not a confounding I thing, for it continues in trust. There are no theories about faith for theory is a tiling that is not proven by facts. Faith is not an impractical, dreamy thing, for fail): trusts, and stakes its destiny upon ! the truth of revelation. Further with another trial. "Faith is believing that Christ is what He is said to be, and that He will do what He has promised to do and then to expect this of Him." The Scriptures speak of Jesus bo ng God; as being perfect in Ills! character; as being made a sin of fering on our behalf; as bearing our sins in His own body on the . tree. They also speak of Him as 1 having finished transgression, made j an end of sin and brought in ever 1 lasting righteousness. The truth of the Scriptures continues that He “rose again from the dead:" that Ho “ever livetli to make interces sion for us;" that He will shortly come again “to judge the living and the dead." coming "to judge the world in righteousness, and his p'-0pie with equity.” We are most freely to believe that this is even so; for this is the testimony of God when He said: “This is i my beloved Son; hear Him." Faith further believes that He will perform what He has prom ised. “Him that cometh unto me ! will in no wise cast out.” Is that good news to you? It certain ly will never be forced upon you. Rut it is a promise that is for you | as well as all others. Believe it. ! “Not one good thing will He with hold from them that walk upright I ly.” There is power and peace and j satisfaction in that promise to those j who will trust. “The water that I will give him shall be a river of wat* r. eprin :: g up in’ > ■ ing life." Wht-or\ r C promised II" will d and ' look for pardon and power by era * tic ugh f i' M> fear is only (.hi you these lines will true, but I v ill v.a: daj."
