STEADFAST TJNTO THE EXD 531 temptation; and it is this alone that can make one like God in character. Through the knowledge of God and of His Son Jesns Christ, are given to the believer ''all things that pertain nnto life and godliness.^' No good gift is withheld from him who sincerely desires to obtain the righteousness of God. ''This is life eternal," Christ said, "that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesns Christ, whom Thou hast sent. ' ' ' And the prophet Jeremiah declared: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches : but let him that glorietli glory in this, that he under standeth and knoweth Me, that I am the Lord which exercise loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord. ' ' ' Scarcely can the human mind comprehend the breadth and depth and height of the spiritual attainments of him who gains this knowledge. None need fail of attaining, in his sphere, to perfection of Christian character. By the sacrifice of Christ, provision has been made for the believer to receive all things that pertain to life and godliness. God calls upon us to reach the standard of perfection, and places before us the example of Christ's character. In His humanity, perfected by a life of constant resistance of evil, the Saviour showed that through co-operation with Divinity, human beings may in this life attain to perfection of character. This is God's assurance to us that we too may obtain complete victory. 2 John 17:3. ' Jer. 9:23, 24.
