The Old Testament and the New Testament Church
If the difference between the
Old and the New Testaments
is not clearly understood, the
plan of salvation becomes mud¬
dled and there can be no clear
distinction between those saved
by grace and those who need
to be saved by grace.
There are, in the history of
man, two distinct churches. (1)
the Church in the Wilderness
(identified by Stephen in Acts
7; 38 as the church of Israel,
answerable to the law of Moses),
and (2) the church of Christ,
(named by Paul in Romans 16:16
and said by him in Hebrews 8
to be subject to the New Cov¬
enant). These two churches
never did occupy the same
ground. The latter was not es¬
tablished until the former was
taken away. “ . . , He taketh
away the first, that He may es¬
tablish the second. By the
which will (covenant) we are
sanctified . . .” Heb. 10:9, 10.
Since the Old Testament ended
at the cross, the New Testament
church was not in existence du¬
ring the lifetime of Jesus. That
is why the Thief on the Cross
did not have to obey the gospel
of the New Testament to be
saved.

If it were still in force today
none of us, who are Gentiles,
would be subject to it, for the
Old Testament was a law for the
Jew only, and was never in¬
tended to be kept, at any time,
by any other person save a Jew.
Furthermore, the Law of Moses
never did contain a plan of sal¬
vation for anyone—not
the Jew.
The church of Christ is strict¬
ly a New Testament church.
“For where a testament is, there
must also of necessity be the
death of the testator. For a
testament is of force after men
are dead; otherwise it is of no
strength at all while the testa¬
tor liveth.” Heb. 9:16-17. Jesus
is the Testator of the New Tes¬
tament. That testament was of
no strength at all while the
Testator lived. That is why we
know that the church was not
established during His lifetime.
The New Testament is the law
and the only law of the new
Testament church. A church
using some other law than the
New Testament cannot be a
New Testament church.

A Strike Out
This entire nation has to look to
big industrial plants for prosper¬
If the big factories keep going,
have jobs, farmers have
for what they raise, and
rest of us get along well enough.
the factories start shutting
(for any reason at all)
people begin to worry
they have good reason for
uneasiness.
Work stoppages are always bad
Farmers hate to read about
because farms can prosper
when industrial workers are
happy with their jobs and set¬
ting good tables. Farmers take
sides in labor squabbles less than
most city people think. Without
much prejudice they wish mainly
that whoever is on the wrong side
of the argument will get right so
business can go ahead.
Strikes Don’t Last
Not many weeks ago, when a
world-famous strike ended, I over¬
heard a stranger say, “Strikes just
can’t go on forever. Finally men
have to go back tfi work, whether
they get all they struck for or not."
The only trouble with this philoso¬
phy is that it’s not so. The fearful
truth is that somebody might some
day call a “third strike" . . . one
that might be called a strike out.
Every big industrial concern is
in league with two different kinds of
people—both classes out for money,
but in different ways. One group
is its employees, the others its
stockholders. Both alliances are
necessary. There’s no use,wonder¬
ing which is most important be¬
cause it is not possible for an in¬
dustrial organization to get along
unless it has both. They are mu¬
tually essential.
Many Similarities
It is safe to consider these two
groups about the same size. Nu¬
merically, the country over, one
crowd is about as big as the other.
Individual companies differ; some
have more employees than stock¬
holders, others have more investors
than workers. In 1940, the General
Motors Corp. had nearly twice as
many investors as employees and
several other big concerns were
situated the same way.
There is some overlap. In cer¬
tain corporations, quite a few em¬
ployees are stockholders too. They
call themselves employees, howev¬
er, because their wages usually
amount to more than their divi¬
dends. Payrolls have been running
10 to 20 times dividends for years.
Generally, a company's stockhold¬
ers and its employees are two en¬
tirely different crowds, and the firm
can’t get along without either.
Both Independent
One point of most striking simi¬
larity between investors and em¬
ployees is that they both are inde¬
pendent. Either crowd is free to
walk right out and leave a com¬
pany. Either bunch might strike
a firm dead with that very weapon.
Usually it is the workers who quit
because they are organized. Like¬
wise, being organized, they can ar¬
range to return to their jobs before
it is too late.
Investors are not organized and
accordingly move more slowly.
They won’t strike; there’s nobody to
call a strike. But if strikes of em¬
ployees kill the profit for investors
and dividends quit coming entirely,
investors will finally quit. They will
quit one at a time and nobody will
tell them to return to work. The
final strike of employees that drives
stockholders to quit, that’s the
strike that will be called “out."

that men believe the gospel in
order to be saved. “ For if
. . .
ye believe not that T am He, ye
shall die in your sins.” John 8:24.
In the same testament He
made salvation available only
to the repenting. “Except ye
repent ye shall all likewise per¬
ish.” Luke 13:3. The fact that
repentance and faith are not
the same thing, and Jesus says
without repentance we perish,
makes us know that salvation
cannot be had upon the basis
of faith only.
In that same testament Jesus
made baptism essential to sal¬
vation, saying in Mark 16:16,
“He that believeth and is bap¬
tized shall be saved.” We dare
not contradict the Lord, saying,
“He that believeth and is not
baptized shall be saved.”
Upon these terms of pardon
Jesus offers salvation to all men,
by the New Testament; and
His church is strictly a New Tes¬
tament church. It is
directed solely and completely
by His Testament. He is its
Head, and its Saviour. All that
it is, it is by His power, and all
that it does, it does by His au¬
thority.
