| − | THIS JOURNAL
| + | |
| − | ITS SACRED MISSION
| |
| − | HIS journal is published for the purpose of siding the
| |
| − | people to understand Jehovah’s purposes, It provides
| |
| − | systematic Bible study in which all its readers may regu-
| |
| − | larly engage. It gives announcement of tho visits made to Bible
| |
| − | classes by traveling speakers, announces conventions, and gives
| |
| − | reports thereof. It announces radio programs and publishes
| |
| − | suitable Bible instruction for broadcasting.
| |
| − | It adheres strictly to the Bible as God’s revealed Word of
| |
| − | Truth, It stands firmly upon the great ransom sacrifice ag the
| |
| − | fundamental doctrine by which all doctrines are measured. It
| |
| − | is free from parties, sects and creeds of men. It docs not as-
| |
| − | sume a dogmatic attitude, but confidently invites a careful
| |
| − | examination of its utterances in the light of the infallible
| |
| − | Word of God. It does not indulge in controversics, and its
| |
| − | columns are not open to personalities,
| |
| − | TO US THE SCRIPTURES CLEARLY TEACH
| |
| − | THAT JEIIOVAH is the only true God, the Maker of
| |
| − | heaven and earth, and is from everlasting to everlasting; that
| |
| − | the Logos was the beginning of his creation; that the Logos
| |
| − | became a man; that he is now the Lord Jesus Christ in glory,
| |
| − | elothed with all power in heaven and in earth.
| |
| − | THAT GOD created the earth for man, and created perfect
| |
| − | man for the earth and placed him upon it; that man wilfully
| |
| − | disobeyed God’s law and was sentenced to death; that by
| |
| − | reason of Adam’s wrongful act all men are born sinners and
| |
| − | without the right to life.
| |
| − | THAT JESUS was made a human being in order that he
| |
| − | might become the Redeemer of man; that he gave his lifo a
| |
| − | sacrifice for man and thereby produced the ransom price; that
| |
| − | Jesus the divine was raised from the dead, ascended into
| |
| − | heaven, and presented the value of his human sacrifice as the
| |
| − | redemptive price for man.
| |
| − | THAT FOR MANY CENTURIES God, through Christ, has
| |
| − | been selecting from amongst men the members of his church,
| |
| − | which constitutes the body of Christ; that the mission of tho
| |
| − | church is to follow in the footsteps of her Lord Christ Jesus,
| |
| − | grow in his likeness, give testimony to the name and purpose
| |
| − | of Jehovah God, and ultimately be glorified with Christ Jesus
| |
| − | in his heavenly kingdom; that Christ, Head and body, consti-
| |
| − | tutes the ‘‘seed of Abraham’? through which all families of
| |
| − | the earth shall be blessed.
| |
| − | THAT THE WORLD HAS ENDED; that the Lord Jesus
| |
| − | has returncd and is now present; that Jehovah has placed
| |
| − | Christ Jesus upon his throne and now commands all nations
| |
| − | and peoples to hear and obey him.
| |
| − | THAT THE HOPE OF THE PEOPLES of earth is resto-
| |
| − | ration to human perfection during the reign of Christ; that
| |
| − | the reign of Christ will afford opportunity to every man to
| |
| − | have a fair trial for life, and those who obey will live on carth
| |
| − | for ever in a state of happiness.
