Bierton Strict and Particular Baptists, 3rd Ed, by David Clarke

Page 126

125 I was shocked and on every occasion I could I sought to reason with him, from scripture, that what I spoke about was true. I argued that as in Adam all Die so in Christ should all be made alive. So the imputation of sin (in Adam) also pointed to the imputation of righteousness (in Christ). That as the sin and guilt of Adam (note: not the sin of Eve) brought about the imputation of sin to the whole of humanity so the righteousness of Jesus - his life and death brought about a righteousness that was imputed to all that believe. I stated that on this account only do we have right standing with God. One Sunday morning he turned on me in anger and said all I did was talk about doctrine and never about the Lord. I felt so wounded I just did not know what to do; I had always looked to this man for support and help. I groaned in spirit feeling so alone in this situation. I wondered how should I handle this.

In other words my three years (to the day) was up. I could now seek work knowing I was free from condemnation under the law and had no need to inform a future employer of my past criminal record (Unless they asked). It was as though my God and Father were saying to me don’t worry I will take care of you. I could now look for work knowing and feeling I was free with a clean sheet to start from. Letter informing me of my redundancy From: C.J. Ward & Son 8th February 1974 To: Mr. D Clarke 37 Finmere Crescents Aylesbury. Dear David, It is with deep distress the due to the present day economic position I
