PKTF.R D. OUZTS Vicar of All Saints’ Words express thoughts, or feelings, or attitudes. At least, they are meant to. But sometimes words seem to become worn out through over-use: They become sub-, stitutes tor thought, instead of expressions ot it And this is as true of religious words as of any others. What, for, example, do we make of the key words in this extract from Kphesians: “For by grace you have been saved through faith: and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God — not because of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his work manship, created in Christ i Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Let's look for a moment at - grace, faith, and good works. God's grace is all-inclusive, and all of the world benefits from it The fact that He has 'created the world: that He has given us our existence — all these attest to God’s grace. For God's grace is : equivalent to his loving-kind ness. his favor towards us. It means that He has shown us kindness and favor which He : did not owe us He owes us nothing; all have been given something. No man is beyond the boundaries of His grace. All men. those who acknowl edge Him and those who do not, owe their existence to Him. For Christians, the su preme instance of God's grace is seen in what may be called a rescue mission — Hei sent His son to get us out ol a fix we can't get out of by ourselves: The Son takes on human nature in Christ and does for us what we can’t do: He is perfectly obedient to the demands of God's will. But unless we realize our lack of obedience, and are bothered by it, this supreme instance of God's grace can't mean much to us. When we do realize our disobedience, when we see where it leads us in our rela- 1 tions with God, our neighbors. and ourselves, then we well ask: How can grace, such love as we see in Christ he possible? How can the lovely love the unlovely, the righteous behold the wicked, the pure look with favor, or grace, on the coun tenance of the soiled, the dirty? We don’t know the an swer to this question. We only know that it does happen, that Christ’s obedience to God in some way cov ers up our disobe dience, and begins to make it possible for us to obey. FAITH We are saved by grace through faith. FAITH here means a loving trust in God, and not certain particular be liefs about him. If I have faith in a friend, for exam ple. 1 don't mean that 1 be lieve, that he exists, or that he is so many feet tall, or that he has any specified moral or intellectual quali ties. All these things 1 cer tainly believe about my friend, but the holding of these, beliefs is not the same as having faith in him. Faith is not assent to certain par ticular facts about my friend, it is trust in him. So faith in God is not the holding of certain beliefs about Him: it is trust in Him. I could, for example, believe that God created the world, but this would not necessarily mean that I really trusted, or had faith in. Him. This is not to say that the facts, either about my friend, or about God, are unimportant. The fact that I have seen a friend perform kind deeds, I have known his erosity, that I have heard from reliable sources of his worth—all these facts do enter into my trust, my faith in him. So, too, when we consider the facts about God, when we consider His generosity, we are led to have faith in Him. And this faith is itself a part of God's grace; it is another, and very precious, a very gracioe&’ gift. Tfiay It is also an active gift. By such this. 1 mean that it is a gift that ticts m us. If we have faith in God, we don't say, “So what'.’" Wo arc led to worship Him. to seek to obey Him Wc arc led to see our inadequacies and sins. 'This! faith loads the adult to bap-! tism and the Lord's table. It led Paul to become the great est missionary of all time. May it lead us to see that God is at work in His world today, as always, and may he helled to he the instru-t merits of His purpose. (kOOD WORKS Faith, this active gift, gives. rise to GOOD WORKS. When wo truly trust Him, we serve Him. Wc perform good works. For this is a part ot His purpose in granting us, new life m Ghrist Jesus. We were, as Kphesians says, “created in Christ Jesus for good works.” And what are they? Prayer, almsgiving, and fustinq, works under taken directly lor the service of God or ot man. ’Those w'ho teach Sunday school 1 and those who servo in commun ity services and charitable organizations may he both pcrfornuiu; good works in the sense of the Scripture pass age. But we need not limit good works to activities, whether for Church or com munity. Kindness to a strang er. a sympathetic listening to a forlorn friend, and other less measurable fruits ol the Spirit arc equally good works. The particular forms our good works may take arc in finitely varied, for God has that i created us individuals, with gen- unique talents and opportun ities. Only God knows the true value of our works, and it is to Him we must give account. Words, words, words. Use ful, hut inadequate at best. Rightly used, they are point ers to Reality, and to Reali ty's way of dealing with us— beyond our deserts — mak ing us trust Him, and arous ing in us the desire to serve Him.
