Now, God's Hope is in HIS own LIFE!.....NOT ours. He puts the basis of HIS HOPE within a NEW BIRTH, and on that basis, HE proceeds to development of ALL HIS Thought and the realization of ALL HIS intention. And only that LIFE brings LIGHT.
The church's calling, is not just to be saved from the old state and realm, but to be saved right through unto all the fullness of God in Jesus Christ; "...the church which is his body, the fullness of Him that fills all in all".
