P. 52

mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine
            heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
            thou shalt be saved [sozo].
            Heb. 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save
            [sozo] them to the uttermost that come unto
            God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make
            intercession for them.

              Our Covenant of Shalom:
                     Wholeness
        The revelation of God’s great plan of
        redemption moved progressively  forward
        through the ages. And in the fullness of time,
        He sent forth His Son that men might be saved,
        made whole.  When one believes that God
        raised Jesus from the dead and confesses Him
        as Lord, one undergoes a new birth. In that
        new birth, one is born of the very seed of God.
            1 Pet. 1:23 Being born again, not of corrupt-
            ible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of
            God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
        Born-again believers are brand new creatures,
        a  new species of being never existing until
        after what Jesus accomplished in His death,
        burial, and triumphant resurrection.
            2 Cor. 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ,
            he is a new creature: old things are passed
            away; behold, all things are become new.
