Thac inexorable spirirual Law I cal!
rhe way of "GIVE," bur the whole
world lives by the way of"GET." Thac
wrong way of Jife, for sorne 6,000
years, has broughr on all our evi ls.
Presidenr Suharro faces che evils of
poverry, illi ceracy , degeneracy of
mind and body, people living, or
rather eking o ut an exiscence, in mis–
ery
and che Jowesr of living scandards.
Presidenc Suharco didn'r CAUSE chese
evils. They were rhere before he was
born. He
inherited
rhem. So he ser in
order rbis policy of Nacional Resil–
ience in an efforc ro improve the
councry's economic, social and mili–
cary posirion. Buc look whac
he
is
faced with ! Not only are his people
- like all other people - swayed by
rhe pulls of human nacure, living by
che selfish GET way, but he is con–
fronred within and wirhour by che
enemy of arheisric COMMUNISM, seek–
ing ro overrhrow him and ro gobble
up che wealrh of Indonesia's natural
resources - as ir seeks
co
grab and
gain
al/
che
resources
of
al/
nacions for
icself!
As I sar calking wirh che Presidenc,
and lisceni ng co him, I rhoughc of
him as one of che major main
branches off che crunk of a large cree.
Population-wise, Red China is rhe
largesr major branch on rhar cree. In–
dia is che second largesc, Russia che
rhird, che Uniced Scaces rhe fourrh ,
Indonesia che fifch. Then comes Japan
and che orher major nacions.
And ro what do rhese heads of
scare look) They have cheir own
counrry and ics interna! problems and
evils
ro conrend wirh - rha r is,
che
orher branches off
their
branch, rhe
larger branches off rhose branches, che
smaller ones off chem - and linally,
rhe millions of cwigs off che smallest
branches of
their
nacional branch.
Then also, rhey have ro deal with
inrernarional and world affairs. So
rhey look ro rhat giant Red Ch ina
branch - and al! rhe o rher branches
off thar one immense cree. But whac
do che heads of srate see - wirh whac
do chey deaP Why, all those o cher
main branches off rhe cree, of course!
Buc
not one
of rhem seems ro even
see
rhe
tmnk
of rha r cree and irs roors.
Yet, on any cree, rhe one and
on~y
source of susraining each branch,
with irs labyri nth of smaller branches
and rwigs, is che
trunk
of che cree, and
rhe ROOT structure in rhe ground.
The Crearor God is che Root Srruc–
ture, and che living (HRIST is che
TRUNK of che cree. But rbe heads of
governmenrs in chis world are nor
looking ro rhe rrunk of che cree, Jet
alone rhe Rooc Scruccure. They do
noc SEE che living God in che pie–
cure
-
ro chem ir is as if He is
nrm–
existent.
By che way - have
_you
ever
PROVEO che exisrence of Goo? 1 in–
vire you ro wrice ro Ambassador Col–
lege, requesring rhe bookle r
Does God
Exist?
and
Seven Pt-oofs God Exists.
God is che Creator. God is che
one
Source of supply for every possibk
need. God poi nred
the way
ro our lirsr
parents char will CAUSE every GOOD
- peace, happiness, abundance -
every thing man
desires
and
needs
rhar
is
good.
Yet rhey rejecred God's in–
struction. Bur God has had ir set ro
PRJNT - in His Insrrucrion Manual
for mankind - che Bible.
Why nor rec¡uesr your free copy of
che bookler
The Proof of the Bible.
r
know rhere are evangel isrs who
will cell you rhat "CHRIST is che an–
swer co our problems." Yes, buc
How? Jusr saying, sen rimenrally, rhat
you accepr or believe in Chrisr is not
enough ro produce rhe answer. You
need ro srudy His Insrrucrion Man–
ual, and begin ro
live
by
irs every
reaching. We
could
have a beccer
world, bur it won't come by thinking
Chrisr will somehow do ir all - by
thi nking rhere's norhing for us ro do
buc jusr rurn ir over ro Hirn and do
norhing ourselves. Nor in
this
world.
The cime is coming - and SOON -
when che livi ng Chrisr
wiil
srep in,
wi rh al! che supreme power and glory
of che universe, and ENFORCE peace
and happiness and prosperiry on che
earrh - bur rhar's in che World To–
morrow! We
could

but humanity WON'T!

You asked whether God wilt forghte
you
-
even tbough you have committed
sius (brokeu God's Law) tmdfind_-yourse!f
facing the resultan/ penalty for sin
-
t!eath (Rom. 6:23). This question has
bothered many. but the Bible itself gives
the amwer.
Y
es. you can be forgiven.
Clearly. the stmu God who established
tbe
penalty for sin shows us how we can be
pttrdo11ed- forgiven, and
WHO
already
paid our penalty for
us.
JVrite for our free literature:
The
Unpardonable Si n , "Whar

Repentancc?"

Whar D o You
Mean ... Salvation?
These publicatiom
wi/1 make the Bible's answer to your ques–
tiorz plain.
