Romans 8:1-4, Matthew 5:13-19

Through singleness of mind and purity of heart you are enabled to receive the garment of salvation which I lived and died to offer you and all the children of the Father in every race and place and time. I stand at the door of every soul and knock: to all who open and receive Me and the gifts I bring from the Father and Our Holy Spirit I give freedom from the bonds of sin and joyous liberty in life and living.

And all who continue faithful in the way and obedient to the Father's will and loving purpose - as they are led and guided - are brought to loving service in the Father's Kingdom in the power of Our indwelling. They are on the way to fulness and perfection - not yet perfected or fulfilled but making for the goal of their high calling in fellowship with all who are in Us and We in them. Our love is their power, encouragement and joy along the way.
