The Hope of The Gospel

Q: What does the Bible say about reconciliation through Christ?

The Bible teaches that through the blood of Jesus, we are reconciled to God, moving from alienation to acceptance. Reconciliation through Christ is a central theme in the New Testament, especially illustrated in Colossians 1:20-22, where Paul emphasizes that through the blood of Christ, we who were once alienated have been reconciled to God. This reconciliation implies a transition from being enemies of God to being regarded as holy and blameless in His sight. The significance of this reconciliation is profound, as it restores our relationship with God and enables us to live in fellowship with Him, illustrating God’s love and grace poured out towards sinners who deserve judgment. The necessity of this reconciliation is grounded in the reality of human sin, which creates a natural enmity against God, and the gospel proclaims that Christ, our mediator, bridges this gap, enabling us to partake in new life with Him.

Q: How do we know the hope of the gospel is true?

The hope of the gospel is rooted in God's promises and the assurance He gives through Christ’s finished work. The validity of the hope of the gospel is strongly affirmed by the promises of God and fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ. Scriptures such as Romans 8:28-30 assure that God works all things for the good of those who love Him, indicating His sovereign purpose and plans for His people. Furthermore, the resurrection of Jesus serves as a pivotal affirmation of our hope in the gospel. It showcases God's power over sin and death, assuring believers that their faith is not in vain. The hope we possess is not based on subjective experiences but on objective truths found in Scripture, rooted in God’s eternal, unchanging nature. This hope promises that we are kept secure in His hands and assured eternal life, as seen in John 10:28-29, where Christ declared that no one can snatch His sheep from His hand.

Q: Why is continuing in faith important for Christians?

Continuing in faith is essential as it secures the believer's relationship with God and their hope of eternal life. The importance of continuing in faith is underscored in Colossians 1:23, where Paul urges believers to remain grounded and settled in their faith, highlighting that perseverance is a sign of true faith. This continuation is vital because faith is the means by which believers are sustained in their relationship with God, continually drawing strength from His Word. The significance of remaining in faith is further illustrated in Hebrews 3:14, which states that we share in Christ if we hold firmly to our confidence in Him. The trials and tribulations of life often challenge our faith, and it is therefore crucial to commit to the teachings of Scripture and partake in the means of grace, such as prayer and fellowship, that nurture and strengthen this faith. In essence, continuing in faith ensures that believers remain assured of their reconciliation with God and enjoy the fullness of His promises.

Seeking for the help of the Lord, I direct your prayer for attention to Paul's epistle to the Colossians, chapter one. I read verse 23 for our text. These specific words upon my spirit are being not moved away from the hope of the gospel. The whole verse reads, if ye continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven, whereof I, Paul, am made a minister."

And the context, of course, is in the few verses before, where it speaks in verse 20 have been reconciled to our Lord through the blood of his cross. Verse 21, you that were sometime alienated, we've been singing of this reconciliation, and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death to present you holy and unblameable and unreprovable in his sign. So the picture is calling, reconciliation, and then the end in view to present at last unblameable, unreprovable in his sign. But then there's the in-between. There's what goes on in this world through the trials and through the difficulties, and that is our text, that we be not moved away from the hope of the gospel. Just a brief survey of this chapter.

The apostle opens with salutations in the first two verses to the brethren. We are reminded often in these epistles they are written to the Lord's people, to those, as he says here, to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ. But if you, if there are those that are yet unconverted, and you say, well, I'm not the brethren, therefore nothing of what is said in these epistles applies to me, do remember this at all, of God's children that are now made manifest as brethren at one time were not.

And the Lord draws his people many times in history. There have been those who have listened to the Lord's people, have listened to the benefits, the blessings of what God has done for them, and they've been drawn, drawn to their God. You think of Ruth, how that she was drawn to know, oh my God, even in tribulation and affliction. Those of you that know the account of Suti Halle, knew how that she used to be drawn to the Methodist women. She couldn't understand them, she despised them, but she couldn't keep away from them. She used to creep behind them and listen to what they said. In the end, their God was her God.

And so, when you come to epistles like this, if you yet know not the Lord, don't say, well this doesn't apply to me. May it be that which draws and attracts, and you listen to what the Lord is saying to his people, that desire that you might be amongst them. And the messages that are given, they apply to, and often there's a reminder of what the Lord has done for his people, and then what follows on in blessing. So he gives that salutation to the saints that are then at Colossae.

And then from verse three to verse 14, he has a mixture of thanksgiving and prayer. In verse three, we give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you since we heard of your faith. This again often is a feature in the epistles, and I wonder how often that we give thanks for the brethren in prayer, for what we see of God's grace in them, for examples of God's word. The apostle often did that, especially for those in the ministry, those of us, we should give thanks. to God for where we see His work and see His blessing. Sometimes we can take for granted, can't we, even if we've been the subject of the work of God, with all the trials and things that come, that we don't give facts, as we should, that the Lord hath called us and worked in our hearts. Well, the apostle here He mixes the thanks with prayer. Verse 3 is thanks, verse 12 is thanks, giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meant to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in life. By nature, we are not meant, we are not suitable, we need to be prepared.

But then he has prayers as well, and verse 9, For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. And he goes on further, verse 11, strengthened with all might. Sometimes we might pray that people be converted, that we might be converted And then when we see the Lord start to work, then we stop praying. We shouldn't stop praying.

We should pray more that Lord's people grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord, and that they be kept and that they be encouraged. Many a Paul's epistles are to that end, and we think of the Apostle Peter, the charges that were given to him. When they are converted, strengthen my brethren. Brethren need strengthening. Those of you, brethren, sisters in faith here, you need strengthening. And then feed my sheep and feed my lambs. We need natural food, we need spiritual food.

And that also is supplied through these letters and supplied through the preaching of the Word. If we can read in the word that the mark of a clean beast is the truth of God, and yet we never go home from the house of God, and we glean something and we take it home and we go over it again. Now Bereans, Mournable, and those in Vessel and Eicher, they heard the word of God preached once a week, but they searched the scriptures daily whether these things were so. How often do we have it that the The text or the subject on the Lord's Day or on the week evening as we are this evening then furnishes your meditation and prayers and your searching in the Word of God. That is how it was with the Bereans and therefore many of them believed.

The Apostle then goes on to set forth the pre-eminence of Christ. This chapter is a very beautiful chapter in that way. sets forth our Lord, perhaps beginning at verse 15, he introduces him, verse 13, 14, in whom ye have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. And then he sets forth his preeminence and right through to our text, all the time, lifting up Christ as the creator, as the one that made all things, for him, by him, for himself, and that before all things he consists, he is the head of the body, the church, pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell. All the time he's lifting up a precious Christ. And then, in the last part, there's a setting forth of Paul's ministry. And of course, with the Gospel, In our text he closes that text that we're of I Paul and made a minister.

We're on to confine our thoughts to three main points this evening. Firstly the reconciliation that is through Christ Jesus. There must be a beginning if there is an exhortation to continue, then there will be a beginning. And I want to just notice that, especially verse 21, yet now at the reconcilement. But then it goes on further, and there is a continuing in faith. Verse 23, our text. And I believe the F here, because people, there is no doubt they will persevere, they will endure until the end.

But their comforts, their blessings, what they enjoy, depends very much on them paying heed to the Word of God and to that which is preached and set before them in the Gospel. And this is what he is drawing attention to here. Because remember Peter, he speaks of those that are kept. And they're not just kept by the power of God, they're kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation. God uses faith, and faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

And that's why when we gather together, our expectation should be that what we hear is used by God through faith to strengthen us, to encourage us, to pay a defense against the devil and the world, to feed our souls, and to actually give us more enjoyment and hope in what is set before us. And so the apostle says before us here, not only the reconciliation, the beginning of faith, but a continuing in that faith. And then thirdly, the hope of the gospel, And I want to set forth that hope of the gospel, and of course the exhortation, be not moved away from that hope of the gospel, which implies there is a possibility that God's dear children may be moved away from that hope of the gospel. The hope of the gospel doesn't change, but God's children can forget it or move away from it and then don't have the comforts that are belonging to it.

But firstly, reconciliation through our Lord Jesus Christ. I think it is vital to realise that when we talk about the new birth, he must be born again, or the calling of God that makes known our election by our calling, that what is being brought about by God's work, by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, is a reconciling God and man. God and sin is reconciling. Now, the fall, there was that separation, that alienation. Now, Hymn 76 says this, at peace with hell, with God at war. Since dark maize we wander far.

And the natural man hates God, he's not reconciled to God, he's not reconciled that God should be over him in dominion, he doesn't like any suggestion that the creation is made by God, and even if he acknowledges that, as one of my brothers does, he says, but I don't think that God means us to be subject to him or to obey him, or to walk in his ways. Man does not want to have any to tell him what to do, how to act, or be under any subjection or dominion. To serve the Lord is not natural to man. We will not have this man, this God, to rule over us.

And it's a way of looking at the new birth or being able to clearly see whether the Lord has begun with us or not, whether we are converted or not, to ask ourselves this question, has there been a change in how we are reconciled to God? Are we at peace with Him? Or are we at enmity with Him? Are we willing to be obedient to Him, to His Word, to His ordering in the Church of God, to His choice for us in providence, in our afflictions, in our children, our grandchildren, or are they those things that we rise up against the Lord? The children of Israel through their wanderings in the wilderness, very often evidence not being reconciled. They wanted to go back to Egypt. They wanted the leeks, the cucumbers, the easy things.

When the way was hard, when the way was difficult, then it really tried whether they were reconciled. There were those that appeared to be, but when the trials came, They weren't really, and God dealt with many of them, slew them in the wilderness. But there were those that were faithful ones, those that stood those trials, those that walked through that way. Others the Lord chastened, and this one mark of the Lord's dealing with His people to chasten and correct them.

So not just at the beginning of their pilgrimage when the Lord begins with them are they brought to be reconciled to Him, But through their life, they have those times when their old nature struggles, rebels, but the Lord's dealing with them, His teaching, His instruction, His love and kindness brings them again at peace with God and reconciled to Him.

And it is one way of looking at the effect of God's work, because that is the overall work of the Lord coming as the one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus. And when we say that, don't let us ever think that God the Father is an angry God and the Lord Jesus Christ is in between the Father and us to reconcile us. God is one God, triune God, and our Lord says the Father himself loves you. The love of the Father was that He gave His only begotten Son and offered Him up for us. A beginning is so vital. Faith is what the Lord gives in the beginning. He is the author and finisher of our faith.

So when we come to our next point, continuing in the faith, It is the faith that he himself has given, or if we think of the faith as the teaching instruction of God, it is that which God himself has set forth as the faith. In Jude we have the exhortation to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered unto the saints. Some of the more modern translations is one area where they really are, especially in Galatians, in Ephesians, they speak of the faith, instead of by the faith of Jesus Christ, it is the faith. And it is important that it is in the wording that it is the faith of Jesus Christ, that which He has given to us, that yes, is exercised upon Him, but it comes from Him.

It does not come from us by nature, it comes from God. And so, when the Lord begins with His people, begins a work of grace, it is a work of which faith is central, it is given by the Lord, And faith then, right through the journey, will be looking to the Word of God. And it's this Word that then is preached to us, it's the Word that brings to us the knowledge of salvation, of God's ways, and how He blesses His people. And our every hope and every expectation is based upon the Word of God, and not our own thoughts at all.

I hope it is that the Spirit will bear witness and those of us who know and have known this change, bless God where he has reconciled us to his beloved Son. Reconciled us to God through our Lord Jesus Christ. The Apostle recognized this. He sets it forth of those here at Colossae. and you that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled." Once again, if that is the case, what follows on from that is this exhortation, if ye continue in the faith grounded and settled. There would never be a need to exhort or warn in this way if there was a possibility of departing from the faith.

But through history and in the churches there are countless examples of those who have begun well, seem to have begun well, yet they have not continued in the faith. Something has come up, something has happened, that has really shown that that faith that they had was not really from the Lord, and so they haven't continued. I mean, very, very painful, where it's those of our own families, those in our own churches, those who have been baptised, those who have made professions, But then they've passed it all away, never seen it in their churches again. Married unbelievers, they themselves, totally unbelievers. And yet they've stood at the desk, they've given out the hymns, they've taken part in the prayer meetings, and the Lord's people have not been able to discern any difference. But they haven't continued.

And when we know these things, Surely it must rise in our hearts, Lord keep me. Let me not depart from the fact. We are warned to take heed if we are those that stand, lest we fall. Lest we think that we are beyond it, that we cannot fall as others have done.

And so the Apostle really says to these Colossians, not only in remaining the Lord's people and proving that their faith be real, but their very comfort, their enjoyment, their hopes, their blessings remain to them. Many of the Lord's dear people don't have the assurance the comfort and enjoyment of what the scriptures set forth a child of God should have. Often it is because of either indulging the effect of the world or not really hearing what the gospel has to say to the people of God.

And so Paul exhorts here in a continuing. Never count it a small thing that we are brought to continue. Sometimes we can think of using anniversaries, maybe of our calling, of our baptism, as just to remind ourselves, hitherto hath the Lord brought us, that we have been kept, that we have continued, Paul uses this, have continued unto this present day. And he speaks of witnessing to small and to great. Never count it a small thing, never leave it without thanksgiving, that the Lord has enabled us to continue and to give thanks for that.

Not continuing in sin, not continuing in rebelliousness, not continuing in refusal to join the church or be baptised, or to do the Lord's will, but to continue in that which the Lord himself has set us in, the way he has set us in. The Lord shows his people what is the right way, He leads them in it, He sets them in it, and that is the way He sets to continue in. And here it's set forth in the way, in the faith. Trusting in Christ, in His blood, His righteousness, all what He has done. Hymn writer says, if ever my poor soul be saved, His Christ must be the way.

One of the great blessings that God has given to the Church of God, and may so too, is the two ordinances, baptism and the Lord's Supper. Baptism, remembering it is Christ that died and then has risen again. That is the hope, an empty tomb for the people of God, a risen Saviour, because I live ye shall live also. And then is the communion and fellowship, one with another around the Lord's table, is a remembering His broken body and His shed blood. That is the hope of the Church of God.

If ever it be said then to continue in the faith, it is said to be what is set forth in those ordinances of what Christ has done. Why does the Lord give those ordinances? so that we do remember those essential aspects of His sufferings, His death and what He is to the Church of God. We don't want a new faith, we want to continue in the faith that He has already given us. at the hope of the gospel.

And this is what is mostly upon my spirit. We read of the psalm, the well-known psalm, 42 and 43, very similar to it, where we have the psalmist cast down. And what he charged himself with hope thou in God, for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance." Twice he sets that forth in that psalm as a remedy to when he's cast down to hope in God.

Paul here sets before the Colossians and before us the hope of the gospel. And he says that we are not to be moved away from that hope of the gospel. One of the things that we hold as a doctrine but sometimes forget in practice is that God's people cannot lose their salvation.

He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it unto the day of Jesus Christ. Him who says once in heaven in him forever, thus the eternal covenant stands. Where the Lord begins, it is because he has died for that sinner. It is because he has loved them with an everlasting love, therefore with loving kindness has he drawn them. It is not something that is done on spur of the moment, but the call or the reconciling is the making known of what is eternal covenant transactions. for that person.

And that then gives a real hope. It's bound up with it, hopes, because the Lord doesn't change, we do change. We change with our feelings, we change with things we pass through, but Jesus Christ is saying yesterday, and today, and forever. So I want to look at some of the points of the hope of the Gospel, that we are not to be moved away from.

First I want to mention is what the Apostle speaks of in Acts 26, where he is given his testimony and he speaks of the promise made unto the fathers, the promises of God. We are not to be moved away from those promises. All the promises of God are yea and amen in Christ Jesus. The promise of the seed of the woman should perish the serpent's head and all of the promises and God gives his children promises.

Each one of us here that know the Lord we may be out of point to different parts of the word of God and we say the Lord has given me this verse or that verse But really all the promises are to God's children, but especially those he has made precious to us. So we are not to be moved away from the hope of the promise of God, that hope that was raised up when first it was blessed your soul, first you were might wear that and that promise was light in your heart and it raised up a hope there was the gospel in it, there was the blessing in it.

Think of that, remember that hope and don't be moved away from it. Don't be surprised if you are tempted to be moved away from it or Satan tries to take you away from it but Paul says here The comfort for the people of God is not to be moved away from it. God himself will not move his people away from the promises he has given them. Satan will, the unwicked heart will, but God himself won't.

Then we think of the righteousness of faith. Galatians 5 and verse 5, the Apostle speaks of not being moved away from the righteousness of faith. And it is the righteousness of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ brought to us by faith That is our hope of heaven. Paul, when he wrote to the Romans in Romans 10, he desired the salvation of his countrymen, but saw that they were seeking to work out their own righteousness, had not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God. And as we feel more and more, believe as we go on, our own unfitness, our own sinfulness, our own unfitness to stand before God, this hope of the righteousness of God, that when we are brought to believe, faith lays hold upon the righteousness of Christ. that we shall stand faultless before his throne, or we shall say with the song of Solomon, I am black, but come thee through Christ.

It is a vital doctrine. Righteousness does not blot out our sins, the blood of Christ does that, but it fits us to stand before him. if we were to have to give an account of all of our life and that be our righteousness before the throne, how ashamed we would be. But we point to Christ, perfect life and obedience, right from the womb, right to His death. Not a sin, not a transgression in thought, word, deed, action, though He was provoked, He was goaded, He lived in the midst of sinners, his life was spotless. And that is put to our account. That is put to the account of a believer and faith lays hold upon that.

Dear friends, don't be moved away from the hope of that righteousness. Your comfort, your hope of heaven and appearing there with joy, is dependent, that you have a wedding garment, you have a garment woe by everlasting love. And the Lord shall say thou art all fair my love, there is no spot in thee. For thou hast seen this garment's woe, their time began is on to be, for a robe to cover thee.

Then when Paul writes to the Thessalonians in his first epistle in chapter 5 and verse 8, he speaks to them about the hope of salvation. Now salvation is a deliverance from and a deliverance to. From hell or from condemnation and aid to heaven. God doesn't do any harm.

It is, it is both. We might have someone that we love very much and we know that they're in great debt. And we might go to those that they're in debt to and we pay off all of their debt. Think, well that was a very nice thing to do, but how are they to go on from here? Where are they to live? What are they to live on? They've had all their debts paid. but there's no provision for them to go on.

And so salvation is both sides. It doesn't only pay our debt, the Lord doesn't only bear the wrath of God for us, but he also prepares for heaven and we're not to lose sight. or to lose that hope of salvation. When the Lord delivered Jonah, in the first place He provided the fish to swallow him up, but in the second the fish didn't spew him out into the sea, but on the dry land. The Lord doesn't save by halves, He completely saves. And that is a hope that we're not to be moved away from. The good news of the Gospel is that He is able to save unto the uttermost all that come unto God by Him. The Lord preserves us from being moved away from that hope.

Then when Paul writes to Titus, Titus chapter 3 verse 7, he speaks of the hope of eternal life, which God that cannot lie has promised us. In John 10, our Lord says, I give unto them eternal life, they shall never perish, nor shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Now that life begins here below. It begins when the Lord quickens a soul into spiritual life. That life is eternal life. It's seized through death and for eternity. That soul does not die. That soul was dead, but is now alive and is now quickened. And it shall never go through a state of being dead again and raised again. That life is eternal, brought to be reconciled to God. The Apostle says in picturing that change that it shall be absent from the body present with the Lord. The Lord gives the promise in John 14 that his people shall not go alone through death. I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also."

And the life that they had in Quickening, they had right through death. Stephen being stoned, could look up and testify of seeing the Lord Jesus Christ standing to receive him, and yet we read that the Lord ascended up and sat on the right hand of God. But he was standing to receive Stephen. very personal knowledge of the Lord's people, and especially the Lord coming for them when they die, when they pass this veil of tears. And that life that he gave, that remains unchanged.

And at the very last, even the body, the creature that now groans, the body of death, shall be quickened again, shall be joined with his soul, and be eternal in heaven. It's hard for us to imagine what that must be, to have no conflict between the soul and body. That's what our Lord had on earth, really. No conflict between his human body and his human soul, and his divine nature, complete harmony between them. And in heaven that shall be so with all of the people of God. We shall be like Him, we shall see Him and be as He is.

And this hope is what we're not to be moved away from. Has the Lord given us life? That life can never die. That life is eternal. That life is designed to be forever with the Lord. Beautiful way, the Lord that Paul finishes an epistle in the Thessalonians, so shall we ever be with the Lord eternally and eternal life.

But then later on in this chapter, you have in verse 27, the hope of glory, to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. So it's not only eternal life, but the hope of glory, to be with the Lord in glory. Our Lord's beautiful intercessory prayer in John 17. Father, I will that they who thou hast given me be with thee where I am, that they may behold my glory. glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth, and his people partakers of that glory, to be with him in glory spotless.

But there are some other hopes that just briefly mention, and maybe help to some here, that we be not moved away from the hope of His guidance. There are some times in life that we need the Lord's guidance, a change in home, a change in job, a change in church, whatever it may be, it may be those of you this evening, and we really need the guidance of the Lord. Well don't be moved away from the hope of the Lord's guidance.

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go, I will guide thee with mine eye. And the children of Israel through the wilderness had the fiery, cloudy pillar all their journey through. You might view things as dark, as uncertain, but as Imre De Ser's Providence unfolds the book and makes his counsel shine. And it is often by looking back we can see so clearly the Lord's guidance and that his hand was upon us.

So let us not be moved away from the hope that the Lord will guide us with his fire. Let us not be moved away from the hope of being kept as well. Kept by the power of God through faith and through salvation. The more and more we hear of those that have fallen or more and more we feel our own weakness and sinfulness, our desire then will be, and I hope our prayer is, that we be kept. But let us not be moved away from that hope that God is the keeper of His saints.

He is. He keeps them. His Father keeps them. They're in His hand. And these things are to be a comfort and strength to us. Another thing that we need to pray that we might not be moved away from the hope of the gospel, the good news, the salvation, the gospel, is in that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are called according to his purpose.

Romans 8, verse 28. We might not think so at the time. Often think of dear Joseph that for 20, 22 years, things didn't seem to be working for good, nor did it seem to his father Jacob, who said all these things were against me. But at the end he was able to say, be not angry with yourselves, speaking to his brothers, he meant it for evil, but God meant it for good, to save many lives.

The Lord used what they did to bring them into Egypt to preserve their lives, to build them up as a nation and to bring them out again. And as the people of God we are to remember this when we are prone to say to dear Jacob, these things are against me. The hope of the Gospel is that the Lord will make it work for our spiritual good. When we have one that is when we have one in adverse providences and in trials, may our prayer be not only that they be made whole, not only that they be brought out of that trial, but above all that they be a spiritual blessing to man, that they be a purpose realised for their soul much more than their bodies, and so also not moved away from the hope of the teaching of the Lord.

This is one of the covenant promises of the Lord. All thy children shall be taught of the Lord. Great shall be the peace of thy children. Thy teachers shall not be removed into a corner any more. Thy eyes shall see thy teachers. Thine ears shall hear a word behind thee saying, this is the way, walk ye ahead. When you turn to the right hand, when you turn to the left, there's one promise that the Lord gave me years and years ago, my teachers shall not be removed into a corner anymore. When something that I look for, something that often has been a real strength, when I've seen something that's been used to instruct and to teach me, We're not to be moved away from that hope.

These things that are bound up with the gospel, that join with the gospel and with the people of God is for their comfort and their enjoyment. We're not just called by grace and the Lord then sends us out with no assurances, no promises, no direction, no word of what he'll do for us. The gospel is full. of provision for poor sinners. And as Paul is saying to the Colossians here, that we may not move away from the hope of the Gospel. Oh may this be a word in Satan, perhaps the one here, provident you brought here, that you may not move away from the hope of the Gospel. Lord, at His blessing. Amen.
