THE ARCH table of contents A relationship with Christ is one of constant abiding, just as a branch con- stantly derives its source of life from the vine. On each division page the words of Christ, the symbolic vine, and the event represented illustrate this relationship: The Christian is taught by the Holy Spirit (Division 1), called to service (II), sent into the world (IIL), sustained and made fruitful (IV), and reminded of the basis and assurance of eternal life with Christ (V). faa a Rey ONS ETE Ga SLY : (fa .

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. John 15:4 THE MOODY BIBLE INSTITUTE CHICAGO, ILLINOIS VOLUME 30

— rounDAGION OF GOD | nD 19S8- Relationship With Christ Means. . . Relationshp With Christ Means. . . When the trembling, novice freshman comes to Moody Bible Institute not knowing what he will find, he soon realizes that here is a school filled with teachers and students who love his Savior and who are determined to serve his Lord. MBI has its per- petual classes, its stacks of assignments, and its busy students, just like any other college or institute. Moody is different in that all the rush and pressure is centered in a purpose; and this purpose is cen- tered in a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ lived 2000 years ago and left His impression on all the world. Jesus Christ died 2000 years ago and provided a way of salvation for all men. This same Jesus rose again and lives today. Because Jesus Christ conquered death, those who belong to Him have a reason for living—to serve Him. Moody Bible Institute seeks to equip a group of these “‘Christ-ones”’ with the spiritual and practi- cal training that will make them more effective ser- vants for the Lord. MBI trains students for the future, but each student finds that his relationship with Christ not only mo- tivates him to prepare for future service but also demands his involvement in the present. His rela- tionship with Christ means involvement today— involvement with the world, the city, and the cam- pus around him.
