CALLED AND SEPARATED Romans 1: 1, 6-7 The saints of God in this world are described as “called and separated.” The apostle Paul describes himself and those saints at Rome as such.

FRUITS AND MOTIVE OF FALSE TEACHERS 2 Peter 2: 1-10 All false teachers will either deny or diminish the truth that God in Christ is Just and the Justifier of his elect people and at the same time exalt the sinner in some way.

REST! Exodus 34: 21 There were eight sabbaths in the law. Each were given to typify Christ, the believer’s rest (Colossians 2: 16-17; Romans 10: 4.)
