Understand

plan.

It

adheres

strictly

to

the

Bible

as

God's

revealed

Word

the

ransom

sacrifice

TO

US

THE

SCRIPTURES

CLEARLY

TEACH

THAT

JEHOVAH

is

the

only

true

God,

the

Maker

of

heaven

and

earth,

and

is

from

everlasting

to

everlasting;

'that

the

Logos

was

the

beginning

of

his

creation;

that

the

I.ogos

became

a

man;

that

he

is

now

the

Lord

Jesus

Christ

in

glory,

clothed

with

aU

power

in

heaven

and

earth.

THAT

GOD

created

the

earth

for

man,

created

perfect

man

for

the

earth

and

placed

him

upon

it;

that

man

wil

fully

disobeyed

God's

law

and

was

sentenced

to

death;

that

by

reason

of

Adam's

wrongful

act

aU

men

are

born

sinners

and

without

the

right

to

life.

THAT

JESUS

was

made

a

human

being

in

order

that

he

might

become

the

Redeemer

of

man;

that

he

gave

his

life

a

sacrifice

for

man

and

thereby

produced

the

ransom

price;

that

Jesus

the

divine

arose

from

the

dead,

ascended

into

heaven,

and

presented

the

value

of

his

human

sacrifice

as

the

redemptive

price

for

man.

THAT

for

many

centuries

God,

through

Christ,

has

beC'n

selecting

from

amongst

men

the

members

of

his

church,

Which

constitutes

the

body

of

Christ;

that

the

mission

ot

the

chureh

is

to

follow

in

the

footsteps

of

her

Lord

Christ

;Tesus,

grow

in

his

likeness,

give

testimony

to

the

name

and

plan

of

Jehovah

God,

and

ultimately

be

glorified

with

Christ

Jesus

in

his

heavenly

kingdom;

that

Christ,

Head

and

body,

constitutes

the

"seed

of

Abraham"

through

Which

all

the

families

of

the

earth

shall

be

blessed.

THAT

THE

WORLD

BAS

ENDED;

that

the

Lord

JesuEl

has

returned

and

is

now

present;

that

Jehovah

has

placed

Christ

Jesus

upon

his

throne

and

now

commands

all

nations

llnd

peoples

to

hear

and

obey

him.

THAT

THE

HOPE

of

the

peoples

of

earth

is

restoration

to

human

perfection

during

the

reign

of

Christ;

that

the

reign

of

Christ

will

afford

opportunity

to

every

man

to

have

a

fair

trial

for

life

and

those

who

obey

will

live

on

earth

for

ever

in

a

state

of

happiness.
