THE OATH-BOUND PROMISE—THE GOSPEL

FROM the Scriptures of truth this conclusion we draw:—

2.Tim. 3:16; John 17:17.

Neither wisdom of men nor works of the Law—

1.Cor. 1:19; Isa.5:21; Rom. 3:20.

Have the power to cleanse, to forgive, or to save,—

Acts 13:39; Rom. 10:4; Heb. 7:19.

To restore from the curse, or redeem from the grave.—

Gal. 3:21; 2:16, 21.

Men are saved by their faith in the Crucified One,—

Rom. 10:9; Acts 16:31; Heb. 11:6.

When His love and His goodness to them are made known.—

Rom. 10:13.13; 1.Cor. 1:21; John 3:16.18; 1.Tim.

2:3.6.

Saving faith comes by hearing die life-giving Word,—

Rom. 10:17; Phil. 2:16.

And the mercy of God through the Savior conferred.—

2.Cor. 5:19; 1.Tim. 2:3.6.

All who will may be saved by obedient faith,—

John 30:31; Heb. 5:9.

And may gain life unending through Christ, by His death.—

For the Gospel salvation to all is made free:—

Titus 2:11.

As they heed its instruction their judgment will be.—

Rom. 2:16; John 3:18.

Endless life is for those who the Gospel accept,—

John 3:16; Mark 10:30; Rom. 6:23.

But death is the portion of those who reject.—

Acts 3:23; Heb. 10:26, 27; Rom. 6:23.

For there’s no other way that’s revealed by the Lord,—

Acts 4:12; John 10:1, 7, 9; 14:6.

To redeem fallen man but through Christ and His Word. —

Titus 2:13, 14; Gal. 3:13; 1.Pet. 1:18, 19.

The heavens are the Lord’s, but the earth He hath given—

Psa. 115:16; Isa. 43:18.

To the children of men, as their home and their heaven.—

He must reign till all things unto Him are subdued,—
