A brilliantly simple section of Scripture that tells us the Gospel saves and seals us with the Holy Spirit when we hear and believe. However, this same section of Scripture has been complicated by 2000 years of theology; we attempt to bring clarity and comfort from these words.
Paul spends a third of this epistle not on prophecy but on people. The reason: there is nothing harder or more important than people. All of us need biblical guidance on dealing with the community that surrounds us. In this section Paul gives us our marching orders as saints.
