“SALVATION”
BY REVERAND
H.M.MORBS
Nome. Alaska.
.Ian. 31. 1924
My dear Mr. Editor:
I wish to erpress my appreciation
of yonr kindness in giving me space
in your paper from week to week,
especially during the quiet months,
to express a few thoughts especially
to those of your readers who may be
isolated, either because of ill health
For immediate associations with
the general privileges of the gospel
o>- of books of a homeletlc nature.
I wish to preface my first article
with a promise not to make my let
ters •'churchy.” and though to some
it may seem that T am omitting
some essentials. T can only say that
T reserve such discourse for my pul
pit for their lucidity.
There are several great words that
are fundamental in Christianity.
Among these words salvation holds
an honorable place. Tn fact, it may
be said that Christianity is the relig
ion of redemption Since this is so
if js necessary that we have a clear
conception of the meaning and scope
of the much used word. The mom
ent we attempt to define the term
confusion begins and misunder
standing arises, and may I say also a
repellant spirit and a loss of inter
est in the entire scheme, not because
the word has anything in it that re
pels. but because its application has
too often been circumscribed as to
lose its real meaning, if not its
homeletic application. I thing I may
say that for many generations and
by millions of good people, the word
salvation has been taken in a nega
tive. narrow and partial sense. To
many the word has been construed
primarily in terms of deliverance
from sin. a rescue from peril. This
conception is true so far as it goes,
but at best it is negative, the begin
ning of a redemptive work in man.
The whole man here and now. Of
course this redemption reaches on
and over an everlasting salvation.
Tt has not fully entered into the
hearts of a mass of well-meaning
people that Christ has come to save
the whole man. body, mind and spir
it. for this life as well as for the life
to come. Tt has not fully dawned
upon us that Christ has come to save
the whole life of man. man’s lifetime.
To develop his powers to their full
capacity, ana 10 ciaim
for the use of the Kingdom. It did
! not dawn upon us until we were mid
dle-aged that God had a big job for
us in this present world and that it
was His purpose to establish His
kingdom here and that man were
called to serve now in God's world.
God's kingdom on earth, and to co
1 operate with God. Good in the estab
3 lishment an maintenance of God's
kingdom on earth.
We cannot study the teachings of
v Jesus concerning salvation without
being persuaded to his point of view
on this question. There can be no
uncertainty, his master thought was
the idea of God’s kingdom and pur
1 pose the revelation of the kingdom
■i of God and the winning of men into
r membership in it. “Fear not little
0 flock it is your father’s good pleas
ure to give you the kingdom.” The
kingdom in the Old Testament subli
mated and the New Testament ful
1 filled. The ki-ngdom is nothing less
F than the far off goal of man through
all history’. Men are called to join
6 become members of this kingdom, t
have its spirit and to live by its laws
“Love, joy, peace, suffering, gentle
w ness and so on. against which ther«
is no complaint." To be a consist
ent member of this kingdom is tnc
supreme good. To miss fellowship
here is to sin. miss the mark and tc
s fall short of the divine science o:
o living together with your fellow mai
upon the highest principles of life
To serve, and to use the ends of tn«
kingdom means to find our trui
0 work. To live for other ends, ac
1 cording to the master, is to be lost
and accordingly to be outside tli<
kingdom of tt-od, Good, is to wa^ic
our life on fasle ends, such as self
^ ishness, greed, hoarding, with-bold
s iog self we have thwarted the verj
h end of our being, namely to grow a
Therefore, to be righteous meant
(o come Into right relationship with
** God and our fellows, to love them
ij and to learn to lire together with
d them. To be sinful Is to break re
lationship with men. to live for one’s
self and nothing for the common
pood. It is righteous to be brother
l>, to recognize th«* common father
hood and that w are neighbors and
brethren.
In wider scope he is to live to be
a child of God and an active member
of His kingdom, to enter into the
plans of the father and become a
partner with Him in His great enter
prise. Men who are called into fel
lowship with the father are given a
vision of the kingdom and are set to
work to build, perhaps in Nome, a
city of Hod. and in larger reach this
means that man i< here in training
for a still larger work in the great
er enterprise of the Heavenly Father.
Concerning the future we don't
knew very much for God has not
chosen to lift the veil, but some
things are plain. As men have serv
ed the principles of life here they
are prepared for a larger task and
greater responsibilities hereafter.
The reward of faithfulness here and
greater usefulness hereafter. In
some way the condition and quality
o^ life here seems to determine the
state and destiny of life hereafter. Is
not this the natural law of life? Is
r.ot life eternal? Whatever goes in
to this life goes into all Hfe. What
ever is left out of the structure now
is 1* ft out of the temple, for we are
a building of God. a temple of the
most high. Hoes a time come when
the. work must be finished, the ac
count* madt- up. the hooks closed?
!-• what is left out of the first life
left out of the life beyond? I)i*es
any real man want to leave his work
unfinished here and now in this lit
tle province we call our surround
ings. community, environment, this
little province of God and your fel
lowmau.
I know no greater insult rnao to
call a man a nonenity. To l>e a non
descript is bad enough and yot how
many can we bank upo-n to identify
themselves to their full capacity in
and common good. The greatest
good to the greatest number is in
spiring. especially so when we leave
ourselves out of the count.
Vou surely agree with me that this
was the Christ idea of living, tf I
have none of his spirit I am not one
of his followers and know nothing of
his salvation.
Summing up the purpose of God
in the world so far as we can under
stand the purpose is the preparation
f.• r the kingdom of God of a large
number of great lives developed in
mind, discipline and will, loving in
heart, unselfish in both soul and
spirit. Trained in the divine art of
j livfcig together and cooperating with
God in the fulfillment of his pur
poses in his kingdom on earth here
i and now. Sin is the missing of this
: mark, it is the refusal of men to vol
■ unteer to do their very best and go
■ over the top. I would not be a draft -
j e<l soldier of the common cross of
i life. I offer myself freely. My loy
! alty to the kingdom is paramount
! and supreme. It is the challenge of
• the smaller self against the greater
J whole. It is the preference to lead,
i not to be coaxed or driven. Rather
j I am anxious to move in line with
the divine purpose in life. To refuse
to move in line and in the front rank
J may betray selfishness, pessimism,
* or cowardice. The life is lost in pro
] portion as it misses the higher mark
i and fails to serve the kingdom and
j its uses. The life Is saved when It
i finds its true end living in the pur
i pose of God.
j The kingdom of God is a present
j Jpct. and men are saved or lost now
1 insofar as they are saved or lost now
; insofar as they are saved or lost to
the kingdom and its uses.
