The recognition of the dead, the overthrow of Satan, the deliverance of creation, the triumph of God and Christ and the eternal felicity of the saints.
It is bound up with every exhortation to high, to holy and practical Christian living.
We are not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of some is. On the Lord’s day we are to break bread and drink the fruit of the vine, show forth the Lord’s death and make known to heaven and to earth that the only ground of approach to a holy God is the sacrificial offering and vicarious sufferings of the Son of God and God the Son, and that on the ground of His atoning blood as our sin offering and personal substitute we claim Him as redeemer, saviour and interceding priest.
We are to love God and love one another.
We are not to judge one another.
We are not to cast stumbling blocks in each other’s path.
We are to walk worthy of our vocation.
We are to let our moderation be known to all men.
We are to be patient, long-suffering and forbearing.
We are to engage continually in prayer and supplication.
