abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit
Galatians 2:19 I stopped living for the law. I died to
the law, so that I may now live for God. I was killed
on the cross with Christ.
20 So, the life which I now live is not really me -- it is
Christ living in me! I still live in my body, but I live
by faith in the Son of God. He is the one who loved
me; he sacrificed himself for me.
2 Corinthians 5:17 So, if anyone is in Christ, he is
a new creation. Old things have passed away.
Listen, everything has become new.

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every
spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ;
4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation
of the world, that we would be holy and without
blemish before him in love;
5 having predestined us for adoption as children
through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good
pleasure of his desire,
6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he

were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise

22. The Work: tasks
Bringing back people to God:
2 Corinthians 5:18 Everything comes from God.
He uses Christ to bring us back to Himself. God
gave us the work of bringing people back to
Himself.
19 When God was bringing the people of the
world back to Himself in Christ, He was not
counting their sins against them. God gave us
the message about how He brings people
back to Himself.

worth comparing with the future glory which will be
revealed to us.
