A Long and Prestigious Line


You are a continuation of the long and prestigious line of "the faithful in all ages" since Abel, whose numbers at times have been perilously few, followers of “the Way”, and as such are invited to “come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven...” Hebrews 12:22-24.

So, let us all give thanks to Him and:

Love Him much, in pure gratitude for having been forgiven much.

Be “established in the present Truth”.

Willingly give “up the struggle that has been so unprofitable to you and the cause of God”, responding to His gracious invitation, and choosing to “come unto Me”.

Be forever finished with our own works, of doing things to appear “good” or righteous, and now calmly and completely rest in, and be “kept” by, Him.

Quietly give up trying to live by producing “the sign for the substance, the end for the means”; now understanding and possessing both the Substance and the Means.

Be “hungering and thirsting for righteousness”, His righteousness.

Delight in the freedom of willingly waiting on Him for every thought, word, deed and place to go.

Have found the things of this world to all be “vanity” and wish to only speak of our Beloved Husband; “For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one Husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.”

Be striving “with all the power that God has given to be among the 144,000”.

We are delighted that you have found us.
