The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts we should live soberly, righteous and godly in this adulterous and perverse generation. Looking for that blessed hope, the glorious appearing of The Great God: Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who redeemed us from all iniquity and has set apart to himself a peculiar people zealous unto good works. That we should be holy and unblameable in his sight through his Blood shed for the forgiveness and remission of sins. To this we cry, "Abba Father!"who has wrought a good work in us that God should be glorified in earthen vessels born again in "newness of life" that henceforth we should not serve sin. Buried with Christ and raised up together with Him into heavenly places, "translated from the power of darkness into the glorious kingdom of His marvelous light, that the power of Christ might reign in us who no longer serve sin, walking according to the course of an adulterous and perverse generation, groping about in darkness fulfilling the lusts of our flesh, but rather walking after the Spirit of Holiness, in the light as Jesus is the Light. Our eye being single and our mind stayed on the Word. Searching the holy scriptures daily for receiving the Bread of Life given to "as many as have received Him" "saved by the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Ghost." Crucifying the deeds of the filthy flesh by "the weapons that are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down evil imaginations and bringing into captivity every thought into obedience to Christ" by his Spirit that dwells in us, unless we are reprobates and do not the truth.
