Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected[1] for ever them that are sanctified.

1 John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected:[1] hereby know we that we are in him.

The present bondage of man in the world which makes him a surety for debt and classified as a human resource under the government of men rather than free souls under God creates their struggle and produces their pain and feeds their despair and depression.

But salvation is not by endless repetition [4] of words and phrases of the law but by the whole truth of the perfect law of liberty[1] and seeking the righteousness of God which we have neglected.
