<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\nMay the following quotes<\/strong>, compiled by Mrs. Ruth Smith<\/em><\/a>, enrich your study of liberty, Christ, and the Gospel this Easter season.<\/p>\n Paul summarized the Gospel in I Corinthians 15: 3-4: For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again according to the scriptures.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Noah Webster defined the gospel<\/em> as \u201cThe history of the birth, life, actions, death, resurrection, ascension and doctrines of Jesus Christ . . .\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe doctrine of Christ\u2019s death and resurrection is at the foundation of Christianity. Remove this foundation, and the whole fabric falls, all our hopes for eternity sink at once. . . . . The crucifixion of our Redeemer and his conquest over death are the very source of our spiritual life and hopes.\u201d \u201c<\/em>When an individual receives the gift of the gospel, Christ dwells in his heart. The indwelling Christ is ready to direct and control each thought and action of his life. The individual must consent to this direction and control. This is Christian self government, the spirit of the law.\u201d\u00a0 Ruth Smith, Self Government with Union<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n One Lesson- All of History<\/a><\/p>\n Christ Changed History<\/a><\/p>\n Christianity Turned the World Upside Down<\/a><\/p>\n Easter Remembrance<\/a><\/p>\n Remembering the Price He Paid<\/a><\/p>\n Leading Ideas<\/a><\/p>\n Student Recording<\/a><\/p>\n Maps | Geographical Essay<\/a><\/p>\n Research, Reason, Relate, & Record<\/a><\/p>\n Example Notebook Entry<\/a><\/p>\n Teaching Resources & Student Page<\/a><\/p>\n Taken from Self Government with Union<\/a> by Mrs. Ruth Smith, Teacher’s Guide<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n MRS.
