Greetings in the Name of our Risen King, Savior and Lord; our heavenly Father’s only begotten and chosen Christ; Jesus of Nazareth; our Lord God Almighty !

I pray and continue to believe that the Lord and all those that obey Him are keeping you and yours steadfast in standing firm in your faith and believing oath; even unto the salvation that Jesus of Nazareth has purchased by His obedience by the shedding of His blood, His death His burial and His resurrection; as the only begotten Son of God, our Heavenly Father; and that God His father raised him up as foretold in the many witness of Holy scriptures of prophecy of old.

Further I pray that in your spirit, soul and body you are wholly knitted together agreeing with and established in the truth of God’s written and preserved Word.  Which God made flesh and that word dwelt among men to bring to pass all that was foretold of the savior.  To the end that you are keeping alive the blessed hope in the life to come and in this life the sharing of that blessed hope, which is our Lord, God Almighty, Christ Jesus and His return in glory.

We continue even unto this day, even as then; to live in a fallen world that has a future of judgments descending upon it soon; that in this day time and hour as then does not believe in, neither does it want to hear about the life to come and the resurrection unto judgments and places of eternal dwelling. 

Often, all too often; the world prefers to take its rewards in this life and disbelieve and reject our message of life, believing instead, there is no life after this one; or they hope silently for a type of purgatory and then pray to a god they know not for a release from it. 

But our message is all about that very life of the resurrection and the changing from this life, unto eternal life with the Lord, and of the person of Jesus of Nazareth, the Lord’s Christ who obediently paid for it; so that all who believe in God the Father, that He is, and upon Him whom He sent, that they may call upon His Name whom He sent, that they who believe in their hearts and confess with their mouths that Jesus Christ is Lord, shall be able to be saved.

Thank God above that we have this blessed hope among us, not being alone it, but having each other to build up and encourage one another being steadfast in our Faith and Believing even through the things that come upon the earth and the things that are common unto all mankind take hold upon our bodies of flesh. 

We indeed do serve and wait on our Risen Savior, and look forward to the return of our Lord, and King in Glory; and to the resurrection of the Just and to new glorified bodies even as Christ’s, being reunited again with loved ones, those who have gone before.  Indeed we have much to be thankful for, and the great and mighty words of hope given us to share with those who will hear us speak the gospel truth of the word.

I beseech you brethren not to grow weary of sharing the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the often engaging in the fellowship of the saints and communion of the body and blood.

Let us press on, keeping that narrow way and entering through that straight gate that leads to salvation by the only way, the truth, and light of God; that is found alone in Christ Jesus.

I pray our Father in Heaven for our strength to increase more and more in spiritual boldness.
