We will also become one in the knowledge of God’s Son. Then we will be grown up in the faith. We will receive everything that Christ has for us.Col 3:12You are God’s chosen people.

He created everything that can be seen and everything that can’t be seen. He created kings, powers, rulers and authorities. All things have been created by him and for him.Ro 5:10Once we were God’s enemies. But we have been brought back to him because his Son has died for us.

He serves Christ together with us. He faithfully works for Christ and for us among you.Ro 13:11When you do these things, keep in mind the times we are living in.

So prepare yourselves to think in the same way Christ did. Do this because whoever suffers in their body is finished with sin.Heb 10:1The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming.

Grow strong in what you believe, just as you were taught. Be more thankful than ever before.2Th 2:13Brothers and sisters, we should always thank God for you. The Lord loves you.

Instead, we want to be fully dressed with our house in heaven. What must die will be swallowed up by life.2Co 1:12Here is what we take pride in. Our sense of what is right and wrong tells us how we have acted. We have lived with honour and godly honesty. We have depended on God’s grace and not on the world’s wisdom. We lived that way most of all when we were dealing with you.
