AN OPEN LETTER to our newly begotten brethren recently baptized - Herbert W Armstrong - October 1957

Herbert W Armstrong

GREETINGS! newly baptized Brethren in Christ Jesus: This year again there is joy and rejoicing among the angels in heaven over your repentance and having been begotten to a lively hope as children of God thru Jesus Christ our Lord! And there is new joy in the hearts of ALL our true brethren and co-workers in Christ over your recent conversion from the desires and will of the flesh and the ways and customs of the world, to the government of God in your life now, that you may have reward in His Kingdom at the coming of Christ, in the World Tomorrow! You will Meet Trials; You have entered upon a new life - a life of great happiness and joy - a life to continue FOREVER - yet, in this present evil world it will not be an easy life. As a matter of fact you have left behind the "easy way" - the popular, broad road that leads to destruction. You have passed the cross-roads and turned off onto the narrow, rutty, bumpy, rocky and HARD and DIFFICULT road which very few people in this world ever are willing to enter - but which leads to SUCCESS, to USEFULNESS, to HAPPINESS, JOY, and ETEHNAL LIFE. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
