“To
all who are in Rome (this world), beloved of God, called to be saints”: who bare the name of The
Way, (Acts 9:2,14), The Truth, (John 8:31-32) and The Life, (1 John 1:2), (John
14:6), who believe Jesus is Lord, (Rom 10:9), - the Son of God is God (1 John
4:15) - not falsely known as only the historical figure, not falsely known as an angel, not falsely known only as a
prophet, not falsely known only as a spiritual being created by God, not
falsely known as a man begotten by Joseph, but rather truthfully known as the
Living God who His name is ‘Father’ who took the form of a man who His name is
Jesus (John 14:11, Rev 1: 4b-5a), born from a virgin woman, (Matt 1:23), wife
of a husband whose name is Joseph, (Matt 1:20,24). A Christian believes
in the testimonies carried out by His Apostles, generation through
generations to our generation, (John 17:20). A Christian believes
that Jesus died without sins, (1 John 3:5) to redeem us from Adam's curse and
from the consequences of all our sins - condemned for eternity in hell, (Rev
22:3, Mark 3:29). A Christian believes in Jesus’ bodily resurrection
followed by His ascension to heaven (Luke 24:51) where Jesus our Lord is seated
at the right-hand side of God the Father, (1 Peter 3:22). A Christian is a
man/woman of faith, who believe without evidence, (Gal 3:11), and who trust in
the inerrancy of the Bible, God’s word is true, (Rev 21:5). A Christian is called to be at one
with God, (John 6:65, John 17:21-22). Finally, a Christian is
appointed to the works befitting repentance and, subsequently, steward of Christ
revealing God’s mystery. (Acts 26:20, 1 Cor 4:1, Col 1:26).
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,” Romans 1:7
“And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen,” Romans 16:20
