it can be stamped with the seal of the Holy Spirit and run into God's mould, so that the man may be renewed in the image of His holy Creator ¹ and Redeemer. This change in a man is what is called the new birth, regarding which the Lord Jesus Christ says in the Gospel, 'Verily,² verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.' This new birth is salvation from the love of sin, the power of sin, and the service of the world, the flesh and the devil. Intellectual conviction of the truth of the doctrine of the Trinity will not, of course, of itself produce this change; for, as we have said, right knowledge is not saving faith. But one of the great advantages of true and heartfelt belief in this doctrine as taught in the holy Scriptures is that it enables the believer in the Lord Jesus Christ to realize God's holiness, love and mercy, as well as His justice, wisdom and might, and thus to become capable of a change of heart and character such as we have described. It is thus that the attainment of salvation is closely connected with belief in the doctrine of the Most Holy Trinity in Unity. In order that a man may obtain deliverance from sin, it is necessary that he should know for certain that God Most High is so pure, holy and righteous that He always has hated and always will hate and loathe every kind of impurity

and evil, and that God's wrath, which means His deep hatred of all sin, must ever descend upon sin, whether inward in the heart or outward in the life. This renders it certain that sinners will perish for ever, unless by God's grace they are changed into holy men and have their past sins washed away in the blood of 'the ¹ Lamb that hath been slain from the foundation of the world.'

Whoever believes in the Trinity in Unity understands that not only God's holiness but also His love and mercy are infinite. He, therefore, knows that God Most High desires not ² man's destruction but his salvation and his eternal happiness, and that God does everything that is consonant with His attributes of justice and mercy in order to bring men to true and everlasting bliss and holiness. Moreover, although God's justice, mercy and loving kindness have witness borne to them by the human reason and conscience; and although these divine attributes are set forth also in nature, in the change of the seasons and in many other ways, yet in this world we often notice that, for a time injustice prospers, the wicked and violent man seems happy, and the just and good man often leads a life of poverty, suffering and contempt. A man who has no knowledge of the holy Scriptures, and who looks only at the actual condition of things in this present world, often, therefore, doubts
