He will then address the Vernal Area Chamber of Commerce during their iooking at Life Where Do I Begin? by Pastor H. D. Pattison of Dinosaur Baptist Church In Job 25:4 we find a crucial question: "How then can man be justified with God?" We are inclined in-clined to see ourselves as the critical criti-cal element in obtaining right standing stand-ing with God. This is because our thinking is self-centered, or more "self-conscious" than "God-conscious." We like to think that we can handle at least 99 percent of the details of our life and all that pertains per-tains to being right with God. The Bible teaches that God in His mercy and righteousness has fore-, seen our spiritually bankrupt state and provided for our needs. In John's Gospel, Chapter 3, verse 16 we read "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten begot-ten Son that whoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Romans 5:8 states "But God commendeth His love toward to-ward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." All the "religions" except Christianity, which is not a religion, but a relationship, teach that man is to DO in order to be right with God. The Bible teaches that we are to BELIEVE in order to be saved; made right with God; by His grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Eph. 2:8-10 puts it this way, "For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, least any man should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." This scripture makes the relationship relation-ship between "good works" and salvation sal-vation very clear. Good works do not, indeed cannot, save.

His day will conclude as a guest speaker at the high school Awards Night banquet at 7 p.m. Each year a committee meets to review nominations submitted from family and friends of UHS alumni. The nominees should: have attended attend-ed Uintah High School for at least two years; graduated at least 15 years before selection; and have distinguished him or herself personally person-ally and in their career by showing outstanding character, community service, leadership and excellence in their chosen vocation. Nominations for future Distinguished Alumni are welcomed wel-comed at the high school. person has received Jesus' righteous right-eous work as their own and have been saved by faith in Jesus Christ, plus nothing, it is right and fitting that they would perform good works for the glory of God. Thus it is evident that where we begin makes a tremendous difference. differ-ence. If we accept ourself as the creator of right standing with God, we will be disappointed. If we ac-. knowledge ourself as a spiritual pauper, and humble ourself to the point of being willing to receive salvation as a free gift, we will not be disappointed. In Proverbs 14:12 we read "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." .In Romans 10:13 tells us "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." There is only ONEWAY to right relationship with God. Jesus identifies identi-fies Himself as that way in John 14:6 when He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." Furthermore, we cannot come to God just any time we choose. Jesus tells us in John 6:44, "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day." Although the Spirit of God will not always strive with man, Jesus still extends His invitation as recorded in , Revelation 3:20, "Behold, I stand at the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." If you have not yet received God's forgiveness for your sin, let this be the day you begin to see God and yourself as He sees. Receive His acceptance, cleansing, forgiveness and Life by repenting and turning from sin to Him in faith.
