This photograph of a solitary musician playing his cello en the midst of ruins illustrates the subject Making Beautiful Music in the Midst of ruins, in editoriallapaz.org.

In a country of Eastern Europe, a solitary musician, in formal dress, plays his cello in the midst of ruins. Perhaps some spontaneous composition of his own inspiration. Or, maybe a classical melody. Slow and mournful music or a very fast and defiant rhythm with nuances of indignation and anger? Whatever the music, the man is alive and playing, a significant reality in and of itself.

Dear reader, following are the Bible texts on which are based the observations and facts in this message identified by numbers in superscript. Please read them. They are a vital part of this message.

1 Job 38:4-7. “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements—surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it?  On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone,  when the morning stars sang together,  and all the sons of God shouted for joy?”

2 Luke 2:13. “And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased!’”

3 Revelation 15:3-4. “And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, ‘Great and wonderful are thy deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are thy ways, O King of the ages!  Who shall not fear and glorify thy name, O Lord? For thou alone art holy. All nations shall come and worship thee, for thy judgments have been revealed.’”

4 Hebrews 11:6. “And without faith it is impossible to please him. For whoever would

draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.”

5 1 Peter 1:22. “Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brethren, love one another earnestly from the heart.”

6 Titus 3:4-5. “…but when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteous-ness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit…”

7 Acts 2:36-38 y 42. “Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.  Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, ‘Brethren, what shall we do?’  And Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”  “And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.”

8 Acts 2:38. “And Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and be baptized… for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

9 Galatians 3:25-27. “But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a custodian; for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.”

10 1 John 3:1. “See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.”

11 2 Corinthians 3:18. “And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being changed into his likeness from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.” Romans 12:2. “Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

12 Ephesians 5:19. “… addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart…”

13 What they did is defined in the next to the last paragraph of this article. Hear the true gospel, believe, repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins, persevering until death in righteous living. These steps are backed fully by Scriptural texts, a number of which are cited in this section. The church that faithfully presents this divine plan of salvation is identified concisely in “We Invite You to Learn about the Church Built by Christ.”
