Implications for Life Today

• God’s Word has been spoken, confirmed, and authenticated historically and spiritually through the eyewitness testimony and ministry of the apostles. • We ought to give careful attention to the truth of God’s work in Christ or we will drift away from the hope God has offered to us in Christ. • No one will escape if they disregard this great salvation that God has provided for humankind in Christ; if you refuse Christ, you are on your own in this life, as well as the life to come. • Christ humbled himself in order to effect God’s salvation on our behalf, and express his love and identification with those whom he has redeemed. He is not ashamed to be called our brother!
