For the glory of the Lord fills His temple in the hearts of the righteous.
For behold, the way of righteousness has been made clear again by the teaching of living apostles prepared and sent by Christ.
Truth remains an elusive mystery to the unconverted believers who seek Him according to their own prejudices and call that faith. "Therefore My people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge" (Isaiah 5:13)
Christ is revealed in truth to those who humble themselves in the power and presence of the Lord's grace.
Faith comes not by the powers of the this world which inflame passions and excite the imagination but by Christ whose power and presence humbles the faithful and brings soberness of mind to our responsibility to obey Him in Spirit and in truth.
Grace draws faith to righteousness and the Spirit seals repentance for receiving instruction that we may walk uprightly in the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of the Lord.
Those who preach condemnation are they themselves condemned by God for they stand against His Christ who provides Himself for remedy to all those who believe on Him through the word of His living apostles. (John 17:20)
For the Lord is concerned with faith in Christ. Therefore the carnal minded stumble in His way of righteous.
