"I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God’s mysterious plan, which is Christ himself. In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Colossians 2:2-3 NLT

"How can we know the way?"- John 14:5
The Scriptures tell us Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and no man can come to God but by Jesus. This means Jesus died on the cross to pay the ransom price for Adam. Adam committed the sin of disobedience to God’s command. Jesus opened up a new way so we can be pleasing to God. We are always to pray in Jesus’ name. "Ask and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you."- Search the Scriptures, and find the way. John 8:12

As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him; rooted and built up in Him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. (Colossians 2:6, 7)
THE general sentiment among the teachers of false doctrines, who think it is neither necessary nor advisable to be established in the faith is...that to be established is to be a bigot. And so it is if one is so unfair in mind as to accept and tenaciously hold that which he has never proved either by sound logic or Bible authority. But he is not an unreasoning bigot who, in simple faith, on the authority of God, accepts the Word of God. And such, and only such, as do so are established in the Truth. The difference between a strong and steadfast Christian and a bigot is that the one is established in the Truth, while the other is established in error.

Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto his people. I Kings 8:56
WHILE the whole creation groans under its load of sin and sorrow, the saintly few may sing, may rejoice, even in the midst of all the sorrows of life and even though they share the results of sin as fully or even more fully than do others. The secret of their joy is twofold: (1) They have experienced reconciliation to God. (2) They have submitted their wills to his will. They obtained this new relationship by the way of faith in the Redeemer--faith in his blood of atonement. They entered by the "strait gate" and "narrow way" of consecration to God--surrendering their own will and covenanting to do the divine will to the best of their ability.
