Salvation through Born Again enjoying? 16 Regarding this – they all will be judged certainly like the grass which is reaped in the field. 17 Many among you took refuse in the world like the lost son. Th- ey say that they don’t want to return to the Lord. Some are livi- ng likewise. 18-19 Oh Lost sons, you all list- en to the word of the Lord. The Holy Spirit says about you that the father accepted the lost son and comforts you. Therefore return to the Lord. Understand it. Is God not your Father? You are His beloved sons and daugh- ters in Christ. 20 Was the lost son a son of pigs’ owner or his father’s son? Is he a pig or the childern of God who grants gifts? He is the son of God, it is! 21 Therefore leave the afar cou- ntry which is the world and the Satan who is the pigs’ owner.But come to your Father who is the King of kings and the Great God. 22 He would accept you. There- fore plead Him with a broken heart and repentance. The repe- ntance is the right medicine. 6 The Salvation is the Gift of God 23 Many are living with the adul- terous mind like the pagans and apostate. They became the rea- son for Christ name to be disho- nored wrinkle, and spots amo- ng the people. 24 Due to the lack of food (man- na), the famine of God’s word is ruling all over the world. 25 The apostate condition will spoil the countries. God Himself would controversy with the ap- ostates on that day. 26The betrayal of faith is the re- ason for death and dishonor. The believing parents are becoming disobedient to God and give bir- th to unbelieving children. Such children will be destroyed. 27 God would do friendship wi- th the heroes of faith. Such are called as the friends of God. 28 I warn you so that you may not become apostate like them who disobeyed the covenant in the Garden of Eden. 29 We know that faith turned the wrath of God and saved the elders, children, young men in Nineveh. 30 Resurrection of the Lord Jesus is the source of our faith. 31 Therefore flee from the sex- Salvation through Born Again ual immorality. Wash yourselves from impurity. Be away from the idol worship. Avoid the factions and hatred. Forsake the differen- ces which lead to divisions. Don’t be captivated in the worldly ente- rtainment and don’t touch which intoxicate you. CHAPTER 4 MY dear brethren, many preachers, who are proud of knowledge by holding the Bible, are not sincere. 2 Bur rather they are boasting of their knowledge. Make sure that you may not forget this fact. 3 That is –Knowledge suppress- es the faith. The knowledge dep- ends upon ones strength. 4 The knowledge of faith depe- nds upon the word of God. Ther- efore let the word of Christ dwell richly in your hearts. 5 The earthly knowledge doesn‘t obey the word of God but it com- es under the punishment of God. It won’t put trust in God and His Son Jesus Christ. 6 The Just shall live by faith. The- refore the righteousness of Christ is worthy of your faith. 7 The true faith will not boast. Ta- ke care of your hearts. He, who 7 The Salvation is the Gift of God doesn’t guard his heart, will live as apostate. 8 II Some of you made commit- ments with faith on the day of marriage and live now as betra- yers of faith in regards to your wife. 9 Even the wives live as the betr- ayers of faith in regards to their husbands. Understand that this epistle, which I wrote, has come from God for your edification. 10 The woman should live as worthy of faith towards her hus- band, likewise man towards his wife. 11 See, do you live as people of curse towards your children?

Rather they should glorify God so that the pagans may realize that you are the chi- ldren of Living and Almighty God. 13 II I warn all of you that you may show faith like the Caper-
