We know that we remain in union with him, and he with us, by this--by his having given us some measure of his Spirit.

Whoever acknowledges that Jesus Christ is the Son of God--God remains in union with that man, and he with God.

We realize, too, that the Son of God has come among us, and has given us the discernment to know the True God; and we are in union with the True God by our union with his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the True God and he is Immortal Life.

Then I heard a voice from Heaven saying 'Write-- "Blessed are the dead who from this hour die in union with the Lord." "Yes," answers the Spirit, "that they may rest from their toil. Their good deeds go with them."'
