Sat out today, not feeling well. So I opened up my bible to Colossians 1 and read that Christ has presented us holy, unblameable, and in unreproveable to God. If we continue in faith, grounded and settled. He then continues to say that he, Paul, for the sake of the body, (Gods people of faith), is filling what is left of Christs afflictions, for the purpose of bringing the hope of glory, this gospel, to others. By doing so he has not diminished the glory of Gods work. For he says elsewhere that we now know in part but at Christs appearing we shall know as we are known. (Ref 1Cor 13:12) Confirming, not denying the redemption by the blood and death of Christ, but rather saying his work is to bring that understanding to those who need to be grounded and settled. He then plainly states the fulfillment of the mystery of the revelation of the gospel of glory Christ in you (His people of faith). (Ref: John 14:20) The justice of God has demanded this verdict based on the evidence presented by the life of Jesus the Christ, and it is to the eternal glory of God to announce that the righteous demand of a holy God has been met. If this be the case, we must be careful not to diminish the glory of God and Christs preeminence by the conduct of our representing this work to the world. If we find we are investing our time to a group which proposes to extract from your life time, wealth, duty, sacrifice, the exercise of spiritual gift, performance of rite or tradition for the purpose of effecting your redemption. These teachings, inspired by men, usurpers of the glory belonging only to God and His Son, are diametrically opposed to the plain teaching of Paul and are of the spirit of antichrist. IT IS TIME TO LEAVE.
