We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints, for the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and brings forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth. Colossians 1:6.
By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand. 1 Peter 5:12.
The grace of God, apart from the general understanding of it as the free gift by which we are all saved (Ephesians2:8-10), by which individual in the body of Christ is endowed with different spiritual gifts and ability to manifest the supernatural such as to cast out demons, heal the sick, prophecy, interpret tongues, works miracles etc. (Mark 16:17 -18. 1 Corinthians 12:7-11) to testify of the resurrected Christ and of his resurrection power as the living eternal Word which was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth. John 1:14. 
If we have seen Christ, we have equally seen the Father because Christ is everything the Father is to us, for in him dwells all the fullness of the God head bodily: this grace and truth is Christ himself, the teacher sent from God, as the truth manifested (for the grace of God that brings salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world. Titus 2:11-12): as the truth is in Jesus Christ (but ye have not so learned Christ, if so, be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: that ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Ephesians 4:20-24) even as the Father has taught and showed him what to say and what to do in the days of his flesh, that we all should be imitators of Christ and followers of God as dear children; that by this, we may have grace, whereby we might serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear, for our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 13: 28-29.
Grace and truth are interlocked: both of them are the facilitators and enablers of all the works of God in our lives; first, to quicken us from the former state of spiritual death in sin and trespasses, unto new and present spiritual life of death to sin through obedience which leads to holiness – to be made alive unto God. God works in us both to will and to do according to his good pleasure; this is none other thing but his grace that is at works mightily in us. Nothing is impossible (with God all things are possible through grace) to accomplish, sacrifice, overcome, to give up or do without, become, do and undo for Christ’s sake, that the scriptures should be accomplished through the power of grace obtained from the throne of grace, that we might have grace to help us in the time of need – temptations. Hebrews 4:16.
The true grace is also the purifier from all uncleanness and filthiness of the flesh and of the spirit, perfecting holiness and transformation from inside-out in us. Grace is not in any way made available or given to anyone to remain the same in Christ Jesus in his pervert and corrupt moral and spiritual conducts, except it is not the true grace of God or somebody has received it in vain. This grace does not encourage any sort of uncleanness (moral, verbal, physical, mental, sexual or spiritual) because the spirit of grace is continually grieved by such contemptuous treatment of behavior from any of his vessel or temple – believer. Such are not the fruits, ways, doings and expectations of God from the recipients of true grace. Note: if the grace we received from God does not make visible the moral, physical and mental differences and changes in all things which pertains to life and godliness between us (saved) and those who have not received the grace (unsaved), it is because we are not delving and digging into his power within us to escape the corruption that is in the world through lusts (according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 2 Peter 1:3-4), how dare we not prepare to expect the harsh and abhorrent words which Christ warned beforehand to his past, present and future followers, who though, thought they are saved, but shall be put to shame and out rightly rejected by the very Christ they served and falsely represented on earth to depart from him, I don’t know you, you who works iniquity? Don’t we know that unto whomsoever much is given, much shall be required from him? Matthew 7:22-23.
The seventy disciples returned back to Christ with joy that the demons subject to them in his name, while the Lord likewise received them with great pleasure and delight for the fruitfulness and accomplishments of the works done in his name. Luke 10:17. They have done exactly what was commanded them: they have not mingled themselves with the heathen to learn their ways, though they loved them to whom they were being sent. They are not secretly living in any corruptible lifestyle while they promised liberty in Christ to other people. Why on earth or in heaven should Jesus disown anyone who has represented or is representing him if they are diligently replicating his meekness, temperance, peace, joy, self -control, faith, kindness, and are increasingly adding godliness in their patience waiting for his return? God forbids? How on earth or in heaven shall God or his Christ reject and condemn any of his elects who has walked and lived before him and before the world and before other believers in all good example of holiness, equity, and blameless behaviors? God forbids! You are witnesses and God also, of how holy, righteous, and blameless we were among you who believe. 1 Thessalonians 2:10.
This true grace of God is an abiding helper with power to accomplish difficult tasks through supernatural strength for victory in any difficult situation, challenges and oppositions we shall ever  encounter in Christ Jesus: to facilitate us with the performances of divine duties of high demand and expectation for the praise of such grace (but by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 1 Corinthians 15:10) which the creatures from the dust such as we are could not ordinarily have accomplished except by the spirit of grace. Zachariah 4:6-7.
Christ did not come to earth to give what he does not have, for he was full of grace and truth in himself (and the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:14) that he should give grace and truth to his church; just as the law was given by Moses (for the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. John 1:16-17) and of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace. The fullness of grace, exceeding and abundance grace as well as the truth, fullness of truth, an exceeding and abundance truth shall we have of him who is full of grace and truth if we abide in him and diligently followed him in readiness to obey him.
Forasmuch that Jerusalem shall be called the city of truth, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, (Zachariah 8:3): the church that is raised to be seated with God in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus is the house of God, the ground and pillar of truth (1 Timothy 3:15) with divine expectations and obligations to accomplish the plans and purposes of God on earth for the perfecting of saints through the grace bestowed upon the five-fold ministerial priesthood by them speaking the truth in love, that we might grow up unto him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: until we all come in the unity of faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. Ephesians 4:7-15. Note: it is expected that believers should be filled with grace and truth, even as his Lord and Christ was filled with both. Just as light and day meet together, likewise grace and truth are inseparable. To ignore or separate grace from truth is the vanity tossed and fro of them that love and seek death, while holding on to grace, they are walking in falsehood: they are sowing iniquity, they shall reap wind: they are sowing to the flesh; they shall reap corruption – eternal and second death. Proverbs 22:8. Galatians 6:7-9.
The pastor is not the authority, but the word of God is the absolute and final authority: his authority and honor is limited to his faithfulness to communicate the truth according to the measure given him from God. 1 Thessalonians 2:3. The pastor is not the truth (Christ is the way, truth and the life. John 14:6) but a worm, a man prone to errors and divided loyalty if his heart is not perfect before the Lord his God. While some of the ministerial priests are living in religious falsehood by hiding certain truth from the worshippers in order to please men and to be politically correct in a world that knows not God or Christ, neither can they receive him, because it neither sees him or know him, as we knows him who is true, and we are in his Son Jesus Christ: it is therefore up to individual believer and worshipper to search the scriptures, judge and scrutinize the pastors and teachers of the word in the light of the word of God to what they are saying like the prudent and careful Berea (and the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were nobler than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Acts 17:10-11) believers. Unless someone has chosen to perish with the lying and foolish shepherds, let the genuine children of God start saying and applying what the bible is saying, rejecting and not standing on what the foolish pastors or teachers are saying to steal the heart of men away from God who has appointed them, even as Absalom by his outward beauty and impression with false humility stole away the heart of all Israel. 2 Samuel 15:6.
The simplicity of Christ should be exemplified, and the word of God must be obeyed against any worldly, carnal and ignorant interpretations and practices of the foolish shepherds, lest anyone be removed from the true grace of God into another gospel (would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed, bear with me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. 2 Corinthians 11:1-4): and, lest our false perception of God from the presentation of the deceitful workers transforming themselves into the apostles and bishops of Christ should bring us under the deception, bondage and destruction of false and delusional grace of God – I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel. Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But I certify you, brethren that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. Galatians 1:6 -11.
There is a pattern and model designed by grace for us to walk and live, lest we walk and live as the enemy of the cross of Christ! Those who are not walking and living according to the model and pattern of the grace should be known, admonished two three times and be avoided if they heeded not. Philippians 3:17-19. Titus 3:10-11. Could someone please try to suggest any eternal good there is if we have the fullness of grace without the fullness of truth in us? Are we not commanded to grow in grace and in the knowledge (truth) of our Lord Jesus Christ? 2 Peter 3:18. What is the benefit, if the soul has grace but failed to be established in the grace by indulging in the things of the flesh, making provisions for the flesh to fulfill the lusts thereof at the expense of the grace of God? The flesh profits nothing, but the spirit gives life! Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart is established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. Was this not to receive the grace in vain and to fall under the group of delusional super hyper grace believers of the wide road and broad way travelers to heaven whose end is destruction? Hebrews 13: 9.
If we are walking contrary to the design of grace given to change us gradually from within, from one glory of moral and spiritual godliness in the image of Christ who is the expressed image of God, into another level of the glory of his image, we are in spiritual misconception and misapplication of the true grace of God; being deceived, either by the willful ignorant of our carnal mind (unwillingness to learn and grow in truth) or the hardness of heart through the deceitfulness of sin (Hebrews 3:13), by turning that which has the promise of the present life and of the life to come (but refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profits little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 1Timothy 4:7-8) into occasion for worldly amusements, sensual and fleshly gratification we are saved and called to bring under subjection and mortification. Galatians 5:13.
Such act is the abuse of grace, an abuse of Christ himself, if we turn and change his grace from the power of freedom and liberty over sin, into the freedom and liberty to enjoy the pleasure of sin, the flesh, and of the world – And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now, is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put you on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. Romans 13:11-14.
He is the God of all grace. There is a grace of salvation. There is a grace of service and of spiritual gifts. There is another grace of transformation into his image and likeness we should all labor to attain in purity through diligent obedient, lest, though we are saved and spiritually gifted, should not failed to make heaven because we have failed to walk after the model and spiritual characteristics of the true grace of God – beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure. Whosoever commits sin transgress also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And you know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abides in him sin not: whosoever sin hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1 John 3:2-9.
Do not erroneously misunderstand the grace of God because none of the manifestations of the miraculous gifts and the works of faith to remove mountain, heal the sick and to raise the dead without visible evidences, testimonies and records of the fruit of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ in his transforming likeness and resemblance through the power of godliness (this knows also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers’ lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 2 Timothy 3:1-7) is not only to do despite unto the spirit of grace given unto us from God (for if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden underfoot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? For we know him that hath said, vengeance belongs unto me, I will recompense, says the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. Hebrews 26-30) but we have equally denied the Lord that bought us out of the world by turning his grace unto lasciviousness to our own shame and condemnation before him – beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.  For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.  I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Jude 1:3-7. Note: salvation is by the grace of God, but this grace shall by no means increase the favor of God upon us if we are living in self-gratification of worldly, sinful pleasures and gratifications and practices of the corruption that is in the world, instead of living unto him who died for us and rose again. Do ye think that the scripture says in vain, the spirit that dwells in us lusts to envy? But he gives more grace. Wherefore he says, God resists the proud, but gives grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 2 Corinthians 5:14-15. James 4:4-7.
Moses understood the model and true concept and spiritual characteristics of the true grace of God; though was raised at the king’s palace and was learned in all the knowledge and wisdom of the Egypt, yet, when he was come to age of maturity, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasure of sin for a while, esteeming the reproach of Christ, greater riches than the treasure in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompense of reward. Hebrews 11:24-27.
There is no price which is too high for anyone to pay to glorify God through our professed subjection to the gospel of his Son in order to fulfill his will, purposes and pleasure which the grace of God shall not abundantly supply us for the currency to spend on it. His grace is sufficient for all our losses, pains and troubles, for his strength are made perfect in our weaknesses. The hardest part, role and cost of this true grace were paid by our Lord as it pleased God that his Christ by his grace should taste death for all men. Hebrews 2:9.
The false teachers of grace will exclude Christian sufferings from the gospel of Christ, and they will tell you that your best life is now, and you can have it all now! Yes, all things are yours in Christ Jesus, but you can’t have it all in this present world where we are saved and called out to seek for a better country whose foundation, maker and builder is God. But if you do not suffer with him, how can you reign with him? Is it not written that it is given unto you, not only to believe in Christ, but to suffer for his name’s sake? Philippians 1:29. What about the fiery trials you have to endure for his name’s sake? Rejoice, it is part of partaking in Christ sufferings. True grace will attract reproach from the world because of the spirit of God upon you, and where is that reproach on you? It is not the reproach of sin (Proverbs 14:34) but of his glory that rest upon you (1 Peter 4:14)! Where is the wholesome doctrine of godliness with contentment with yourself, to be yourself before the Lord in the world, to be content with the creature of God in you without external packages and patch up of the ungodly? Content with Christ in you of what you are, have, be, and hope to be, and what he will make you to become in him? One thing is sure, there is the affliction of the gospel and personal cross bearing with self-denial which are parts of sufferings in the kingdom of God. 2 Timothy 1:8.
But these sensual and carnal brethren see temptations as a large, flat, rounded boiled sweet on the end of a stick to lick and enjoy (lollipop) rather than to suffer the flesh that they may ceased from sin, even as Christ suffered himself in the flesh for us. Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 1 Peter 4:1-3.
There is no trial, temptation or infirmity, necessity or trouble too strong for the strength and power of grace to bear and to deliver and preserve believer from falling: but the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you. 1 Peter 5:10. Those that are falling away in the time of temptation have not found the true grace to stand therein – the seed on the rock. Our troubles and trials are designed to show the power of the true grace of God as true yoke bearers: but those without it, though they are also born again of the incorruptible seed of the word of God, are holding the truth in unrighteousness, and held that which is designed to set them free in bondage, that the truth should not influence their inward and outward changes, as otherwise it would. Note: the word of his grace is the whole counsel of God (Acts 20 verses 27 and 32): it is the sound doctrine of all scripture giving by the inspiration of God which is profitable for teaching, correction, reproof and instruction in righteousness. There is nothing hilarious and entertaining in the word of God if you are not an itching ear believer who have received the grace of God in vain under the instruction and tutorial of a sweet talker, seducer and flattery preacher, deceiving and being deceived. 2 Timothy 4:1-4.
Apostle Paul speaks about our rejoicing before God, the testimony of our conscience, having renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of deceitfully; but by manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 2 Corinthians 3:1-2. Thus, the fruit of the true grace in the beneficiary is manifested in his increasing love for the truth of the gospel through his practical life of godliness from the teachings and commandments of Christ which are not grievous. Grace and peace are multiplied whenever we apply the knowledge we received (2 Peter 2:1), but grace is hindered to flow and the abundance of truth is withheld when rebellion against the truth is in place for failure to bring every thought in us to the obedience of Christ. What is the proof of your love in the spirit (Colossians 1:8) if you are found living in conformity to the present worldly lifestyles, copying their fashion and habiliment, their ways of life and other comportment and mentality, and you are being spotted with the world (James 1:27)? You are warned to resist and overcome the flesh, and the world, and the things the enemy is presenting before you through them such as the lusts of the eyes, the lusts of the flesh, and the pride of life? 1 John 2:15-17. How do you seek to please God who has called you into this grace when you have not come out from the world and from all her practices and ways in separation unto God? 2 Corinthians 6:17. Yes, you must need use the world, but must you have misused it? 1 Corinthians 7:31. If you are not frustrating the grace of God, and despising the knowledge (truth) of his word, and despising the spirit of grace, why then are you not crucified to the world, and the world crucified to you? 2 Timothy 2:4. Galatians 6:14.
We are called to be filled with grace and truth: to come to the knowledge of the Son of God, and to be filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another: but some are ever learning, never able to come to the knowledge of truth. They have the truth and they appear to speak it, but the truth is not seen in them like the Pharisee hypocrites, for they manipulate and twist the word. Whosoever twists or adds to the word of God is a liar; such is not in the true grace of God. Grace is not available for anyone to change the word of God and to make it adaptable for a certain era or period of time: heaven and earth shall pass away; the word of God shall not pass unfulfilled.  In the beginning was the word,….the same was in the beginning with God; it is forever settled in heaven as we are called and saved to follow after the examples of the people of old who once faithfully served God to the end: that we should all contend in the same spirit of faith with eternal purpose like Abraham, Enoch, Daniel, Joseph, Gideon etc. for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints (Jude 1:3-4) in the continuation of it, and not in any new version or perversion of the gospel of Christ: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. Hebrews 11:40.
The true grace of God should be with you continually from the beginning to the end (the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. 2 Corinthians 13:14): so that, as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, even as you have started, you should continue to grow and increase in him, established in him, and abounding therein with thanksgiving. Note: though the free gift of God’s grace has saved us from the wrath to come, but his moral and spiritual demands, expectations and duties compels us to higher standard of life of changes within and without, that it should be said of us that we are increasing in this grace also – therefore, as ye abound in everything, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also. 2 Corinthians 8:7.
Wherever the true grace is abounding, the first work with the first love is also increasing. The fire of the Spirit is increasingly burning day and night on the altar of prayer and consecration. There is no lukewarm spirit, but fervency of spirit: there is no spiritual coldness, but always rejoicing and in readiness of zeal for God’s house in the zeal of his name and in the zeal of his word burning like fire in his bone. His love and desire for truth is not diminishing, while his appetite and desire for the word of God is ever increasing, being careful and steadfast in the Spirit in all things. He understands the principles of personal price to pay such as self-denial which he continues to pay his fair share that he might be found of the Lord in peace and in holiness and in all godliness, lest he fall into the error of the wicked. 2 Peter 3: 10-11.
The true grace recipient will not syncretize to reconcile his new crucified life purchased by the precious blood of Jesus with the vain conversion of life he received from his ancestors to live in Christ Jesus with mixed cultural and worldly elements or with other things outside the bond and scope of the scriptures, but his life is ruled and governed by the word of God. He will not compromise to join many of them of the wide gate and broad way for whatever reason, having the knowledge of the true grace that those who will live godly, and not worldly, fleshly and sensual in this word shall suffer persecution, but evil men and seducers shall be worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. The broad road is an easy going and a free fall road- nose diving to hell with the carnal, sensual and worldly behaviors and indulgences of believers with no sense of duty of any cross to bear. Though, they have the knowledge that our old man is crucified with Christ, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin, but they refused to put off the old man which is corrupt according to its deceitful lusts, and to put on Christ, which after God is created in righteousness and in true holiness. They know not how to put the body unto subjection, having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof, lest after preaching with great power in his name, they should not be a cast away. They glory in their shame, though they have the knowledge not to glory, except in the cross of Christ: but these have their rejoicing and lifestyles outside the cross of Christ, and they are not in any way crucified to the world and the world crucified to them. Though they have the Spirit of God, but the power of godliness is suppressed from within, lest they should put to death the works or deeds of the flesh, so that they should live as those that are alive indeed unto God. It is the false grace, the fallacy of heaven and of eternal life with Christ of them that will not go outside the camp (come out of the world and its lifestyles, mentality and compromises) to suffer with Christ that they might reign with him: wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. 2 Timothy 2:12. Hebrews 13:12-14.
