'Eiga light Gunner JQSEPT-T E. RAMSEYER PresidenT Bible LecTures Redeeming The Time - Spiritually EPT-TESIANS 5:16 Time is an imporTanT TacTor in ChrisTian experience. As iT Talces years Tor an acorn To develop inTo a sTurdy oalc, so iT Takes Time Tor a Tollower oT ChrisT To rooT deep, To grow up inTo l-lim , and To reach spiriTual manhood. T-lowever, some cle- velop more rapidly Than oThers, because They are Tollowers oT God as dear children. Again, as iT requires seasons Tor grain and TruiT To come To The harvesTing sTage, even so iT is wiTh spiriTual TruiT bearing, and maTuriTy in The godly liTe. The TexT does noT only clearly indicaTe ThaT iT Talces Time To develop ChrisTian characTer, as expressed above, buT iT also shows The imporTance oT making The besT possible use cT The Time alloTTed To us. We musT Take advanTage oT every opporTuniTy ThaT comes To us. ln order To do This we musT, TirsT, be Tully assured ThaT we have passed The iniTial experiences in The ChrisTian liTe-The new birTh, and The bapTism wiTh The Holy SpiriTg and ThaT we are under The leadership oT The l-loly SpiriT. Then iT we obey The Tollow- ing exhorTaTions in The Word oT God, we shall be good and TaiThTul sTewards oT The sacred TruTh, and our Time shall be well redeemed: I. Be ye ThereTore Tollowers oT God, as dear children: and walk in love, as ChrisT also haTh loved us. Eph. 5:I,2. 2. And beside This, giving all diligence, add To your TaiThg and Then The aposTle menTions seven graces ThaT we musT add and abound Therein iT we wanT To measure up To Gods sTandard Tor us. ll PeT. I:5-I I. 3. Thou ThereTore endure hardness, as a good soldier oTJesus ChrisT, ll Tim. 2:3. 4. By whom also we have access by TaiTh inTo This grace wherein we sTand, and rejoice in The hope oT The glory oT God. NOT only so, buT we glory in TribulaTion also. Rom. 5:23. 5. As every man haTh received The giTT, even so minisTer The same one To an- oTher, as good sTewards oT The maniTold grace oT God. l PeT. 4:lO. 6. CasT noT away ThereTore your conTidence, which haTh greaT recompense oT reward: Tor ye have need oT paTience, ThaT, aTTer ye have done The will oT God, ye mighT receive The promise. For yeT a liTTle while, and he ThaT shall come will come, and will noT Tarry. l-leb. IO:35-37. 13
