GIVE yourselfTO HIM! Give him your
lif~yourSELF.
Let HIM come into
your mind and heart, through his
Hol y Spirit, and live HIS LIFE IN
YOU!
It means fu ll , complete, utter,
unconditional SURRENDER. You are
no longer your own, you are HIS.
Give your life to HIM, and see what
great usefulness and accomplish–
ment he will put it to! See what
great joys will be yours as a result
of the great GOOD he can and will
do through you-IF you are his,
wholly IN HIS POWER, wholly sub–
jected to HIS WILL.
Yes, Jesus Christ died and was
dead! But God the Father RAISED
HIM FROM THE DEAD. HE UVES
FOREVERMORE!
You
are already dead in tres–
passes and sins unless, or until, you
REPENT of sins, surrender to God,
GIVE YOURSELF to the LIVING SAV–
IOR who died for you, but was
RAISED to become your High Priest
and coming King! We have to DIE
in order to UVE. Give YOURSELF to
Christ and he will give
you
ETER–
NAL LIFE!
"And this is the record, that God
hath given to us eterna! life, and
this LIFE is
in
his Son. He that hath
the Son hath life; and he that hath
not the Son bath not life"!

Continue this WARNING to OUR
nations TODAY: "They have seen
vanity and lying divination, saying,
The Lord saith: and the Lord
hath
not sent them:
... Because, even
because they have seduced my
people, saying, Peace;
and there
was no peace"
(verses
6, 1O).

He didn't die on Friday, either.
Can you figure three days and three nights between sunset Good Friday
and sunrise Easter Sunday? Even theologíans have wrestled with thís
problem. In Matthew 12:40 Jesus said he would be "three days and three
nights in the heart of the earth." He also said, in verse 39, that this was the
only sign he would gíve that he was the Messiah. Now either Jesus was an
impostor or the "Good Friday-Easter" tradition is in
error. An enlightening and controversia! booklet títled

Battle ofthe Sexes...

1t won't be easy. For sorne it's
going to take bold decisions, for
others unheard-of changes in life–
styles, a Iot of deep discussion
between husbands and wives, which
will include sorne long-range plan–
ning and in-depth introspection and
understanding. What does each
real ly want out of Iife, and what do
both want to achieve together as a
family unit.
Ins tead of flying off in separate
directions, pulling families apart,
two working together, giving each
of their individual strengths and
talents to gain a common purpose,
would be almost certain of attain–
ing the right goals.
The Delusion of Self-fulfillment
As for self-fulfillment, forget
se/f–
fulfillment. Self- fulfillment has
become an obsession in this age.
Chasing after that elusive goal is
the key to the problem. How frus–
trating to ask- morning, noon and
night: Am
I
happy? Am
I
ful–
filled?
Mate or female, single or mar–
ried, if you have no more purpose
to your life than self-satisfaction,
you will be the most miserable of
human beings.
Why are you here? What is the
purpose of your existence? Is it
only to become married and have
children? Is it to become profes–
sionally trained through years of
education and experience j ust to
sacrifice health and principies to
reach the top in sorne profes–
sion?
If you're looking to these tempo–
rary goals to make your life worth
living, to make you happy, you are
ensnared in the same trap most in
our society have fallen prey to.
Women, the answer is not bat–
tling men . We're all in this
together, mate and female. We
need each other to make it. Find
out your purpose for being. Write
for Herbert W. Armstrong's free
booklet
Why Were You Born?
It
will open your mind to an under–
standing of your reason for being
that you have not had befare, an
understanding that comes to you
free, but that is priceless. o
