There are \ust two broad principles of life, God's way, or God's ow, summed up in the Ten Command­ ments, and Satan's way of competition, greed, vanity. All suffering, all unhappiness, fear, miser/', and death, has come from the transgression of Gods law. living by that great law of love, then, is the only way to peace, happiness, and joy. God placed man on this earth, to learn that les­ son, to learn it through generations of experience. We too, learn by suffering. God has revealed the true way of life. His revelation always has turned his back on God, and on God•s true way of life. Even though man has still refused to see or learn the lesson of right living, he has written this lesson indelibily in the history of human experience. We learn through experience, and through suf­ fering. This, then is the very thing character is made of. That's why1 we are not taken immediately to our reward,away from all the unhappy circumstan­ ces of this world, the very minuet we accept Christ, and are converted. That's why many afflictions visit the righteous, even as God sent affliction upon Job, tho the Eternal delivers us out of them chastens every son whom He loves . It strengthens us, develops us into the christ­ ian character God is creating in us. It teaches us to rely on Him, and reliance on God is the very foun­ dation of character. Even Jesus suffered, was made perfect through suffering. Paul suffered. ~r we must suffer, to the end that we shall learn . VVe are being created in true righteousness and ho liness, unto good works, un­ to good words, unto perfect character. And so it is that in His matchless wisdom, God has permitted ma~ to sin. God permitsnationsto go to war. For almost si~ thousand years, ~od .has. permitted Satan to away th1s world,/o dece1ve 1t 1nto transgression of His law, that i might learn by reaping that the results of Satan's way are not right. Theresultsarethestoggering and suffering in this world today. A comparatively few true Christians have learned that God's way isright. God has given us powers approaching centuries and millenniums of eKperienc?,to create, not to destroy. That we might learn to d1rect creative powers into peaceful useful productive channels, not toward harmful destructive' evi I results.
