Consider Christ Jesus

Q: What does the Bible say about our calling as Christians?

The Bible teaches that Christians are called to be holy and partakers of a heavenly calling in Christ. In Hebrews 3:1, Paul refers to believers as 'holy brethren' signifying their distinct identity in Christ. This holy calling is underpinned by the doctrine of election, where believers are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, as stated in Ephesians 1:4. The calling of Christians is not based on their inherent holiness, but rather God’s intention to make them holy through the work of Christ, ensuring that they embody spiritual blessings such as justification, sanctification, and redemption.

Q: How do we know that Christ is our high priest?

We know Christ is our high priest because God appointed Him as such, making Him the mediator of the new covenant. Hebrews 3:1 highlights Christ as the apostle and high priest of our profession. His role as high priest is affirmed throughout the book of Hebrews, particularly in Hebrews 5:4-6, where it states that Christ was appointed by God, not by men, thus establishing His unique authority. Furthermore, Hebrews 4:14-15 reminds believers that Christ can sympathize with our weaknesses because He was tempted in every way but did not sin. As our high priest, He offers the perfect sacrifice—His own blood—for the atonement of our sins, which establishes Him as a greater high priest than those from the Old Testament.

Q: Why is it important to consider Christ Jesus?

Considering Christ Jesus is essential for understanding our faith and maintaining spiritual assurance. The exhortation to 'consider Christ Jesus' in Hebrews 3:1 emphasizes the continual focus on Christ as central to the Christian faith. This consideration is more than casual reflection; it calls for a diligent examination of His person and work. As the high priest and apostle, Christ serves as the foundation of our hope and assurance of salvation. Regularly pondering His role fosters growth in faith, helps resist unbelief, and cultivates a reliance on His grace. Thus, making Christ the focal point of our thoughts reflects our identity as His followers and strengthens our commitment to preserving the faith.

Q: What does it mean to hold fast to our confidence?

Holding fast to our confidence means maintaining trust in Christ as the source of our hope and salvation. In Hebrews 3:6, believers are encouraged to hold fast to their confidence in Christ. This steadfastness is a sign of true faith and assurance of being part of God's household. It is important to recognize that this confidence is not a condition for salvation but rather evidence of it. The strength to hold fast is rooted in the assurance that God never disinherits His children. This ongoing trust in Christ affirms our relationship with Him and provides the necessary encouragement amid trials and temptations, ultimately securing our place in His eternal kingdom.

All right, if you'll open your
Bibles now to Hebrews 3, Hebrews chapter 3. Paul begins, verse 1, wherefore
holy brethren, he's writing to believers, writing to the Church,
holy brethren. This is not a term that we would
take to ourselves. This is not a term we would use
in reference to ourselves if we were speaking. But Paul says
we're holy brethren because, look at the next line, we're
partakers of the heavenly calling. Our calling is a holy calling,
a heavenly calling. And we're not holy in ourselves
in the flesh, we're holy in Christ. Turn to Ephesians 1. And listen
to the apostle here, Ephesians chapter 1, verse 3 and 4. He says in verse 3 of Ephesians
1, blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who
hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings, and those spiritual
blessings are justification, sanctification, righteousness,
holiness, and redemption. He's blessed us with all spiritual
blessings. In heavenly places, in Christ,
according as he had chosen us in Christ before the foundation
of the world, that we should be holy. He didn't choose us
because we're holy. He chose us to make us holy and
without blame before him. We're sanctified, Jude said,
by God. the Father. Several years ago,
one of the old writers made this statement. He said, justification
is of God. It is God who justifies. It is
God who sanctifies. Who can lay anything to the charge
of God's elect? It's God that justifies. Of him
are you in Christ Jesus, who has made unto us wisdom, righteousness,
sanctification, and redemption. Now, the nature of this transaction
is complete. We are justified. Whom he foreknew,
he predestinated to be conformed to the image of his Son. Whom
he predestinated, he called. Whom he called, he justified.
The transaction is complete. We're justified. The transaction
is not only complete, it's perfect. Justification has no degrees. Sanctification has no degrees.
I can't be half-justified. I can't be half-justified. If
I'm half-justified, I'm not justified at all. I can't be half-redeemed. I can't be half-righteous and
be accepted of God. And God never does anything halfway
anyway. It's God that justifies. It's
God that's sanctified. We're sanctified by God the Father. That's what the scripture says.
We're sanctified by God. So I'm not half justified or
half sanctified or partially justified or partially sanctified. I'm justified in Christ. You see that? We're sanctified in Christ. His righteousness is imputed
to us. And therefore we are justified,
we are sanctified, we are righteous in him, we are holy brethren,
and we are redeemed. So he says, wherefore holy brethren,
partakers of a holy calling, a heavenly calling, consider,
consider. This is a whole lot more than
a passing fancy. This is a whole lot more than
a thought. This is a whole lot more than
just pay attention to it on Sunday. This is a diligent, serious study
of Christ Jesus. Consider Christ Jesus. Turn to
Isaiah 52. We find this word over here in
Isaiah 52. Isaiah 52, verse 13. The Lord
God is talking about Christ here. He says, verse 13, Isaiah 52,
Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, shall prosper, he
shall be exalted, he shall be extolled, he shall be very high. As many were amazed at him, amazed. His visage was so marred more
than any man. On that cross he didn't even
look like a man. His countenance, his visage.
so mired, mutilated, his form more than the sons of men. O
ye that pass by, behold my sorrows, as any sorrows like unto my sorrows,
wherewith the Lord God hath afflicted me." Christ said that. But so shall he sprinkle, as
the blood with the hyssop, sprinkle many nations, out of every tribe,
kindred, nation, tongue, unto He shall sprinkle many nations,
and the kings shall shut their mouths at him. For that which
hath not been told them shall they see. Eye hath not seen,
ear hath not heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of
a natural man the things that God hath prepared for them that
love him. But he hath revealed them unto
us. And things that have not been told them, they are going
to see, enter into, and understand. And that which they have not
heard shall they consider. Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers
of a heavenly calling, consider. Consider the apostle. What is
an apostle? An apostle is God's messenger.
An apostle is one whom God hath chosen. Christ said to his apostles,
you didn't choose me, I chose you. He said, I speak not of
all of you, for I know whom I've chosen. As my Father sent me,
I send you. An apostle is sent. He's God's
messenger sent from heaven. There was a man sent from God
whose name was John, an apostle, a messenger. Well, now I want
you to consider the apostle. This is not an apostle. This
is the apostle, not another one like him. Moses talked about
him in Deuteronomy 18. This is the apostle. I want you
to consider it the messenger, the apostle, not only an apostle. Moses wrote way back yonder in
Deuteronomy 18. God said, verse 18, I will raise
them up a prophet, capital P. person, prophet, from among their
brethren, like unto thee, Moses, I'll put my words in his mouth."
What Christ said, my words are not my words, but the words of
him that sent me. God said, I'll put my words,
and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
And he shall come to pass, and whosoever will not hearken unto
my words, which he shall speak in my name. God spake to our
fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken to
us by his Son. And he which shall not hearken
unto the words which he shall speak in my name, I require of
him." It would be well for us to consider this Apostle. I read you about him, too, in
Hebrews 1. Look at Hebrews 1. This is the Apostle, the bearer
of good news. How beautiful are his feet, the
messenger of the covenant. Hebrews 1, listen. God, who at
sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers
by the prophets, hath in these last days, we've been in the
last days since the cross, spoken to us by his Son. Who is this
apostle? It's his Son. It's his Son whom
he hath appointed heir of all things. It's his Son by whom
he made the worlds. It's his Son who is the brightness
of his glory. It's his Son to express the image
of his person. He that has seen me has seen
God. It's his Son who upholds all things by the word of his
power, in whom all things consent. It's his Son who by himself purged
our sins. It's his Son who sat down at
the right hand of God. Consider this apostle, the apostle,
his Son. And he's the messenger of the
covenant. Turn to the last chapter of the last book of the Old Testament,
Malachi. The last chapter of the last
book, Malachi. And the prophecy, the last prophecy
before the Old Testament was completed, sealed, and delivered. God said 400 years before Christ
came. Malachi 3.1, Behold, I'll send
my messenger. That's talking about John the
Baptist, the forerunner, my messenger. And he shall prepare the way
before me. See, Christ is God. When the Father speaks, it's
the Son speaking too. They're one. Our God is one.
Father, Son, Holy Spirit. These three are one. And I'll
send my messenger and he'll prepare the way before me and the Lord
whom you seek. shall certainly come to his temple."
Our Lord Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem, raised in Nazareth,
but he came to Jerusalem one day and walked in that temple,
walked in there with a whip, and drove out the money changers.
And he said, My house. He didn't say God's house, he
said, My house. My house. It's written, My house should
be called a house of prayer. You made it a den of thieves.
He'll suddenly come to his temple. But Mary brought him there when
he was just an infant, because that's where Simeon saw him and
said, My eyes have seen thy salvation. They brought him there when he
was twelve years old, and he stayed there and talked to the
Pharisees and the lawyers. But he'll suddenly come to his
temple, even the messenger of the covenant, the messenger,
the apostle of the covenant, the everlasting covenant, the
covenant David died resting in. God hath made with me an everlasting
covenant, ordered in all things and sure. The everlasting covenant,
the messenger, that's Christ, our apostle, whom you delight
in. Behold, he shall come. says the
Lord of hosts. And I'm saying this morning,
consider him the apostle and the high priest. He's not just
a high priest, he's the high priest. There's not another like
him. Turn to Hebrews 4, and let's read about him. Hebrews 4, 13. Hebrews 4, 13. Neither is there
any creature that's not manifest in his sight. But all things
are naked and open unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
We have to do. Like that speaker down at Shawnee
University said, well, the way I feel about God, if he'll leave
me alone, I'll leave him alone. Neither one of those things can
be true. You can't leave him alone. He's one with whom you
have to do. You have to do. And he has to
do with you. He has to take you into his glory through the righteousness
of his Son or put you where you can do no more harm. and hurt
nobody else, and deny his word no more, and be a blight on his
kingdom. Because everything that worketh
or maketh or lies has got to be done away with. You have to
do it. This is the apostle, this is
the high priest. This is not one gallous preacher
that came into town on the back end of a truck. This is the Son
of God with whom we have to do. Seeing then we have a great high
priest that's passed into the heavens. He's Jesus, the Son
of God. Let's hold fast our profession. We don't have a high priest that
cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but he was
in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let
us therefore come boldly, because we've got a high priest, the
high priest, the one and only high priest. All right, verse
2, Hebrews 3, go to our text. Our Lord Jesus Christ was faithful
to him that appointed him as Moses was faithful to God who
sent him. Our Lord was faithful to him
that appointed him. Who appointed Christ? Was Christ
appointed a priest? Appointed an apostle? Appointed
our high priest? Turn to Hebrews 5. This is always
true down through the Old Testament. Hebrews 5. For every high priest
taken from among men. is ordained for men in things
pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices
for sin, who can have compassion on the ignorant, on them that
are out of the way, for that he himself also is compassed
with infirmity. And by reason hereof he ought,
as for the people, so for himself to offer for sins. And this office
of priest, thus forward, no man takes this honor to himself,
but he that is called of God, as was Aaron, so also. Christ glorified not himself
to be made a high priest, but he that said unto him, Thou art
my son, this day have I begotten thee. And he said in another
place, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."
God made him a priest. God made him Christ. God made
him Messiah. God made him our Redeemer. God
appointed him. The Spirit of God is upon me,
Christ said, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel
to the poor, to give sight to the blind, to set at liberty
the captive, to announce the accepted year of the Lord. And
he was faithful to him that appointed him. He was faithful to his father. He said, I finished the work
he gave me to do. Holy Father, I finished the work
you gave me to do. Therefore glorify thy Son, that
thy Son may glorify thee." He was faithful to his people. He
said, "...or the sheep I have which are not of this foal, them
I must bring. They shall hear my voice, they
shall be one foal, they shall be one shepherd. I love my sheep,
I lay down my life for the sheep." He was faithful to his Father,
he was faithful to his people, and he is faithful now. Because
it says over here in Hebrews 1, that he sat down on the right
hand of the majesty on high, for what purpose? That he ever
lives to make intercession for us. He's faithful. He's faithful. Of all the faithful servants
of God though, Moses of Men. all the faithful servants of
God. Moses, perhaps, is the best example. And that's what the
Lord is using here. Our Lord was faithful to the
Father who appointed him, as Moses was faithful in all his
house. Moses was faithful. But now,
verse 3. But this man is counted worthy
of more glory than Moses. This man. Christ is a man. He's
God. But he's a man. He's fully man,
he's bone of our bone, flesh of our flesh, he's a man, this
man. And these two distinguishing
words are all the way through the book of Hebrews, this man,
when compared to Moses or compared to Abraham or compared to a priest
or compared to the angels, but this man. Now watch this, let
me show it to you. It talks here in verse 2 about
Moses being faithful. Faithful to God, faithful to
Israel. But this man, counted more worthy,
worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he that built the
house hath more honor than the house. Turn to Hebrews 7. Hebrews 7, verse 24. Verse 23 talks about those Old
Testament priests. Hebrews 7, 23, and says, they
were many. because they were not suffered to continue by reason
of death. There were a lot of priests,
but they all lived and died. But this man, because he continueth
ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore, because he hath an
unchangeable priesthood, and never dies, he is able to say
to the uttermost, in that come to God by him, this man, worthier
more honour than Moses, who was faithful in all his house. This
man greater, look right across the page in chapter 8, verse
3. For every high priest is ordained
to offer gifts and sacrifices. No high priest ever came into
the Holy of Holies without blood, never. Wherefore it is of necessity
that this man If he's going to be our high priest, if he's going
to come into the Holy of Holies, into the very presence of God,
he's got to have a sacrifice, he's got to have blood. Without
the shedding of blood, there's no remission. So every priest
that offered sacrifices on earth had a sacrifice, so it's of necessity
that this man have somewhat also to offer what he offered. Not
the blood of bulls and goats, but his own blood. and reconciled
us to God. Look at Hebrews 10, verse 11
and 12, Hebrews 10, verse 11. Every priest, standard daily
ministering, offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which could
never take away sin, those Old Testament sacrifices. But this
man, this man, acted off of one sacrifice for sins forever, sat
down on the right hand of God, expecting that he would become
his footstool. You see that? Verse 2 says, Consider,
make a lifelong study of the apostle and high priest of our
profession, Christ Jesus, who was faithful unto God who appointed
him, even as Moses was faithful in all his house. But this man, Moses and angels and all creation
pales in his presence, like the stars disappear when the sun
comes down. This man, counted worthy of more
honor, this man offers his own blood. This man is greater and
all preceded him." Look at verse 4. Every house is built by some
man. Some man plans it and purposes
it and puts it together. But he that built all things
is God. Every earthly building or material
house is built by some person, planned, constructed, completed.
But all things are built by God. And he that built all things
is God. He's the first cause of all things.
He's the creator of all things. Even in all things that man builds,
he uses God's material. He uses God's permission. He
uses God's breath. He uses God's gift of mind and
talent and strength. So he's the builder of all things,
even material. He's the creator of all things
for his pleasure and for his glory. But he's talking here
about something else. He that built all things is God,
and that's Christ. Christ is God. Turn to John 1. There are two things that I want
you to see that I believe that Paul is saying. He that built
all things is God. John 1, verses 1, 2, and 3. In the beginning was the Word,
that's Christ, and the Word was with God, the Word was God. The
same was in the beginning with God, and all things were made
by him, and without him was not anything made that was made.
That's Christ. Then in Colossians 1. Turn over
there with me, Colossians 1. It says in verse 14, speaking
of Christ, in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness
of sins, who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn
of every creature. By him were all things created
that are in heaven, that are in earth, visible and invisible.
Whether they be thrones or dimensions or principalities or powers,
all things were created by him and for him. And he's before
all things, and by him all things consist. So he who built all
things is Christ, and Christ is God. But primarily, look back
at my text, primarily he's talking here about his house. Every house
is built by some man, but he that built all things is God." That's Christ, and he's talking
about building his kingdom, his spiritual kingdom, his church. I'll build my church, and the
gates of hell shall not prevail against it. In 2 Corinthians
5, I think you can see this, 2 Corinthians 5, verse 18 through
21, listen Second Corinthians 5. He's building his church, his
kingdom. Verse 18, All things are of God,
who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given
us the ministry of reconciliation, to which God was in Christ, reconciling
the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them, and
hath committed to us this word of reconciliation. Now then,
we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you
by us, we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin
for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness
of God in him." Christ Jesus is building his house, his temple,
his kingdom. Moses was very faithful in all
his house as a servant. He was a servant to Israel, he
was a servant to God. And he was a servant and a witness
and a faithful servant for testimony of things which were to be spoken
after, which were to come. Moses was a servant in the house. But Christ, verse 6, as the son
over his own house, he's the son, he's the redeemer, It's
his house. He's called it my church. My
church. Turn with me to Ephesians 5.
It's my church. He's the son over his own house. Here in Ephesians chapter 5,
verse 22. Start with verse 22. Husbands, love your wives even
as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it, that
he might sanctify and cleanse it with a washing of water by
the word, that he might present it to himself, a glorious church,
not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should
be holy and without blemish, his church, his kingdom. Moses
was faithful as a servant in all his house. for testimony
of things that are to come, but Christ as a Son, over his own
house, which he built, whose house we are." We are his house. Turn to Hebrews 10. I want you to begin at verse
5 and see how God sent him and appointed him and anointed him
to be I will redeem her. Look at Hebrews 10, verse 5.
Wherefore, when he comes into the world, he saith, Sacrifice
and offering thou willest not, but a body hast thou prepared
me. In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
All of these Old Testament sacrifices and offerings have never given
God pleasure, never satisfied him, never satisfied his law
or honored his justice. Had no pleasure. Then said I,
Lo, I come, in the volume of the book that is written of me,
to do thy will, O God. Above, when he said, Sacrifice
and offering, and burnt offerings, and offering for sin, thy wouldest
not, neither hath pleasure therein which are offered by the law.
Then said I, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away
the curse. all of those priesthood sacrifices
and establishes a second Christ, his kingdom, his blood, his church,
his righteousness, by the which will we are sanctified through
the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Christ the
Son over his own house, whose house you are and I am. Look at verse 6, chapter 3 again.
If we hold fast the confidence and rejoicing of the hope, firm
unto the end. Wherefore, and I want you to
watch these parenthesis. I mentioned this while I was
reading the scripture a moment ago. That means that this parenthesis
can be taken out, just temporarily taken out, and not change the
meaning of the message here, of the writings. Moses was faithful in his house,
as a servant, for testimony of things that should come. But
Christ, he's a son over his house, over his kingdom. He's a messenger
of the covenant. Whose house we are, he's built
in his house. I'll build my church, the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it. He builds it through his obedience
and through his death and through his blood. And we belong to that
house if we hold fast to confidence and rejoice in him from the Now
these words are not to be considered as a condition to being a son
or to being in the house. I'm not of the house of God because
I persevere. I persevere because I'm of the
house of God. I'm not of the house of God because I hold fast
my faith and confidence. I hold fast my faith and confidence
because I'm of the house of God. These words are not a condition
or a work to acquire sonship. Nor do they indicate that a son
can perish, or a daughter can perish, or be disinherited. God
never disinherits one of his children. One of those for whom
Christ died, brought into the kingdom of the Spirit of God,
translated from darkness to light, from darkness to the kingdom
of God's dear Son, is never tossed out, is never disinherited, never
depressed from Christ. No, that doesn't indicate at
all if I hold fast my confidence and hold fast my hope. That's
not a condition to be saved. That's not a condition to keep
salvation. These words are to distinguish
the false from the truth. These words are to distinguish
the weak from the tired. Christ is the Son over his house,
his kingdom, his church. covenant people, whose house
we are. And the evidence of that, and
the proof of that, is we hold fast the confidence of our hope
in rejoicing firm unto the end. That's the evidence of it. Wherefore? These parentheses go down to
verse 11. These parentheses talk about
Israel that left Egypt and perished in the wilderness. They claimed
to be the people of God. They professed to be the people
of God. They had the oracles of God. They had the tabernacle
of God. They had the feast days and holy
days and all of the circumcision and the tithing and all these
things that were the oracles of God,
but they perished in the wilderness. Well, let's read about them here.
Verse 7, as the Holy Ghost saith today, if you'll hear his voice,
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation in the day of
the temptation and the wilderness. Your fathers tempted me, and
proved me, and saw my works for the earth. Wherefore I was grieved
with that generation, because they erred in their hearts. It
wasn't just their outward acts. Their outward acts were evidence
of a wicked heart. Their outward acts were evidences
of an unbelieving heart. Their outward behavior indicated
what they were inwardly. They erred in their hearts. They
didn't know my ways. So I swear in my wrath that they
will not enter into my rest. And they didn't. Why didn't they
enter in? Look at verse 18 down at the bottom. And to whom swear
he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that
believe not, so you see they could not enter in because of
unbelief. They never did believe God. They
didn't believe God when they came out of Egypt, they didn't
believe God in the wilderness, and they perished in the wilderness. But now watch this. Verse 6. Christ is building his house.
God appointed him for that. And as Moses was faithful, Christ
was more faithful. Apostle and high priest of our
profession. He's the son over whose house
we are, and here's proof of it. If we hold fast to confidence
and rejoicing firmly to the end, wherefore, wherefore, verse 12,
take heed, brethren, lest there be found in you an evil heart
of unbelief. If they cut into your heart right
now, what would they find? An evil heart of unbelief or
a believing heart? If they cut into your mind right
now, what would they find? I'm not talking about the outward
profession, I'm not talking about the outward show like Israel.
They acted like the people of God. They professed to be the
people of God. They enjoyed the benefits and
the blessings of God. They breathed the air of God
and ate the manna of God and ate the quail and had the preachers
of God leading them. But they had an evil heart of
unbelief. They didn't believe God. When
Moses went up on the mountain to get the law, they made a golden
cave. They murmured against God, and he sent fire serpents. He
said, 40 years was I grieved with that bunch. And they died,
their carcasses perished in the wilderness. Now take heed, brethren,
lest there be found in you an evil heart of unbelief cut into
your soul. Will you find the presence of
Christ? Sure, if you love him, if you believe him. in departing
from the living God. Our dear Lord said to his disciples
one day after that crowd left, he said, Would you go away? And
they said, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of
eternal life. We believe and we're sure. We believe and we're sure that
thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Consider Christ
Jesus, the of our profession, the high priest
of our profession. What's our profession? That's
what we claim this way. But now, not only that, he is
my profession, he is my life. He is my hope. Christ in you,
that's the hope of glory. I just don't profess a faith
in Christ. Christ is my profession. He is
my life, my hope, my rest, my joy, my sanctification. Look at verse 13. Exhort one
another. Every Christmas and every Easter. Exhort one another. Every Sunday
morning. Exhort one another daily. Daily. Daily. Let's talk about Christ.
Let's consider wherefore brethren, holy brethren, partakers of the
heavenly Well, I've already been saved, I don't need to bother
too much about exhorting and consenting. Yes, yes you do. Exhort one another daily, daily
to consider Christ. While it's called a day, lest
any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness. The Bible
talks about the deceitfulness of riches. The deceitfulness
of sin, the deceitfulness of popularity, the deceitfulness
of pride, the deceitfulness of this world. It's a deceitful,
deceitful world. For we are made partakers of
Christ. Now listen, we're not sons because we continue. We
continue because we're sons. We are made partakers of Christ.
And the sign of it and the evidence of it is we hold the beginning
of our confidence steadfast to the end. What was the beginning
of our confidence? That day we realized we were
sinners and Christ is the only Savior, and we received him and
embraced him, trusted him.
