The Two Ways.
This earth is only man's transitory home. He lives here a few years, then
goes to an eternity. There are two abodes or dwelling-places for man in
that eternity. One is called heaven, the other is called hell. One is a
place of peace and joy, the other a place of torment and woe. One place is
called eternal life, the other is called eternal death.
As man enters upon his journey of life two ways are set before him. Deut.
30:15, 19. One way leads to heaven, and is called the way of life and
good. The other way leads to hell, and is called the way of death and
evil. The way to heaven is denominated the holy way, where walk the
redeemed. The ransomed ones go singing on this way with crowns of joy upon
their heads. This way shines more and more, brighter and brighter, as it
nears the end.
The way to hell is denominated the way of the transgressor. It is a hard
way. There is no peace there, no rest. The darkness becomes more dense,
and fears increase as it nears the end. The way to everlasting life in
heaven is called a narrow way. Mat. 7:14. There are few that walk this
way. The way that leads to destruction is a broad way. Mat. 7:13. There
are many who are walking in that way. Dear reader, will you not choose the
way of life and make heaven your eternal and happy home?
Conclusion Of Part First.
We have now reached the conclusion of the first division of the Gospel
Day, namely, The Morning. We have not given the reader our opinion, or our
interpretation of the Scriptures, but we have given the pure, simple Bible
truths as taught by Christ and the apostles. It is not our doctrine, but
the doctrine of him that sent us. What we have taught is in perfect accord
with the Bible, and who can gainsay it?
To believe, experience, and live the truths of God's Word is to be a light
in the world. To disbelieve any part, to come short of any part in
practical life, is to be to the same extent in darkness. Christ was a
light because he was the Word. The early church and apostles were a light
because they believed, experienced and practised in life the whole Word.
The Bible was written in their hearts as well as in the book. The Bible
never changes. God never changes, the nature of faith and grace never
changes, and true gospel light never changes. What created light in the
first century of this Christian era will create light in any other
century, and nothing but what was
