Adjusting to a closely knit so- ciety teaches us the give-and-take necessary in personal relationships. Academic pursuits encour- age alertness, mature thinking, eagerness to learn. This way of living finds meaning and purpose only as founded on the abundant, the Christ- centered life. Bryan is not only preparation for life; Bryan is life. .13 V V, .. ,. J .

SPIRITUAL STATURE 61 a g if t A or God loved the world so much that He gave his Only Son, so that anyone who trusts in Him may never perish but have eternal life. For God sent His Son into the world, not to pass sentence on it, but that the world through Him might be saved. No human creature can be brought into right standing with God by observing the law. For all the Law can do is to make men conscious of sin. But now God ' s way of giving men right standing with Himself has come to light; a way without connec- tion with the Law, and yet a way to which the Law and the prophets testify. God ' s own way of giving men right standing with Himself is through faith in Jesus Christ. In their hearts people exercise the faith that leads to right standing, and with their lips they make the ac- knowledgment which means salvation. This way is for everybody who has faith, for no distinction at all is made. For everybody has sinned and everybody continues to come short of God ' s glory, but anybody may have right standing with God as a free gift of His undeserved favor, through the ransom provided in Christ Jesus. His divine power has given us everything that is needful for life and piety, through our full knowledge of Him . . . John 3:16, 17; Romans 3:20-22; 10:10; 3:22-24; II Peter 1:3.
