And if you belong to Christ, then you are real descendants of Abraham, and heirs in accordance with the promise made to him.

And God who knows men's hearts testifies for them by giving them the Holy Spirit, as He did us, read more.

Stop lying to one another, for you have stripped off the old self with its practices, and have put on the new self which is in the process of being made new in the likeness of its Creator, so that you may attain a perfect knowledge of Him. read more.
