A Letter Included With The Certificate of Fellowship

Dear Fellow Member:
In sending your Certificate of Fellowship for this year, we should like to share with you a few Scripture thoughts which we have found very helpful from day to day as we travel the Christian way. {CFL: 1.1}
Each of us, you know, in our material being naturally pass through three periods: (1) infancy, (2) adolescence, and (3) maturity.  Likewise, in our spiritual being, as seen in “Timely Greetings”, Vol. 2, No. 39, and Tract No. 14, “War News Forecast”, pp. 31-39, we pass through three such growing periods: (1) Righteousness by Grace, the equivalent of which is spiritual infancy (being born again), (2) Righteousness by Faith, the equivalent of which is adolescence, and (3) the Righteousness of Christ, which in fact is our spiritual maturity.  And since the “infancy” period, the righteousness by grace is now in the past according to “Timely Greetings”, Vol. 2, No. 39, and we have now come to the time of the righteousness by faith period of “adolescence,” in which our safety and eternal interest lie, we must not neglect to attain to full Christian “maturity,” the righteousness of Christ, if we expect to be rewarded with life eternal and with a home in His Kingdom.  We would therefore do well to carefully note some of the earmarks of a mature Christian -- the true Davidian.
