The Good News

By one man's Sin, the cursed reign of Death came into the World.
Death reigned from Adam until Moses.
And then Moses, because of the hardness of your Heart, made provision that a man could divorce his Wife.
But from the beginning it was not so.
The Law entered, and the offence abounded.
Israel went whoring after other gods.
At work in our members the Law produced all manner of uncleanness, so that, what I want to do, I don't do,
And what I do, I don't want to do.
And such were some of you.

But God, at sundry times and in diverse manners,
Revealed to us through prophets and sages a way of return.
And in this last era He spared not His own Son.
He took upon Him the form of a servant,
And became obedient unto Death:
(Even the Death of the Cross!)
So that the Law is fulfilled in Him.
By one man's obedience, Grace now reigns through the righteousness of God.
Death, where now is your victory?
Grave, where is your sting?

This is the Light that is gone into the World,
Light from Light,
True God from True God,
Which Lights Every Person.
By Grace we are saved through Faith:
Without Faith it is Impossible to Please Him.

I say to you, Enter in at the straight gate.
Broad is the road that leads to destruction,
Narrow is the Path toward Life,
And few there be that find it.

The past times of our ignorance, God has overlooked.
But now He calls all People everywhere to Repent.

Because our deeds were evil, we have remained in darkness.
Our darkness has not comprehended His Light.
It has not entered into the heart of Man.
Eyes have not seen and ears have not heard what God has prepared for those who will Love Him.
Now He is married to the backslider.
We are espoused to One Husband,
We must remain chaste until the coming of the Lord.
If you Love Him, keep His commandments.
If you Live by the Spirit of Love, walk in the Spirit also.

If the world hated Him,
how much more will it hate you also?
They will deliver you up to counsels.
You must give no thought of what you will say.
The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church,
Of whom the World is not worthy.

He who endures until the end,
The Same will be Saved.
