You cannot c reate righteous
character within yourself by your–
self. God mus t do that in and
through you by his Spirit, which
is his very nature. You must
become will in gly and who le–
heartedly oriented toward God,
like clay in the hand of the
Master Potter (Isa. 64:8,
for all who henceforth wi ll live
God's spiritual way.

One day truth will be taught in all
schools.

It will teach us
al/ that there is
to know
about the creation around
us; how and why it was pul here,
and what our role shall be accord–

pose.
In that day enlíghtenment will
be so complete that it will make
today's knowledge explosíon
seem like the popping of corn

21 ).

W h en Christ re-
turns to the earth to
bring the whole
world peace, he will
come to set up the
you out and begins
to deal with you.
Only then, if you
become soft and
pliable through the
addition of God's
Holy Spirit, can you
begin to be shaped into

while they clung to theír own fol–
ly. What a wonderful day that will
be!
