"That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowedging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus." PHILEMON 1:6

If we do not acknowledge by knowing and saying the good things that are ours or in us in Christ Jesus, then we can not communicate or tell others about our faith effectively!



In Him all the parts of the building fit together 
and grow into a holy temple in the Lord.
You are built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets.  
Christ Jesus Himself is the cornerstone.
That is why you are no longer foreigners and outsiders but citizens together with God’s people and members of God’s family.
So, you, Jewish and non-Jewish people can go to the Father in one Spirit.
 God came with the Good News of peace for you 
who were far away and for those who were near. 
In His body He has made Jewish and non-Jewish people one by breaking down the wall of hostility that kept them apart.
But now through Christ Jesus you, who were once far away, have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Remember that once you were not Jewish physically. Those who called themselves 'the circumcised' because of what they had done to their bodies called you 'the uncircumcised.'
God has made you what you are. He has created you in Christ Jesus 
to live lives filled with good works that He has prepared for you to do.
God saved you through faith, You had nothing to do with it. 
Being saved is a gift from God.
God has brought you back to life together with Christ Jesus 
and has given you a position in heaven with Him.
You were dead because of your failures, 
but God made you alive together with Christ.
God is rich in mercy because of His great love for you.
You will also know the unlimited greatness of His power 
as it works with might and strength for you, the believers. 
You will know the confidence that He calls you to have 
and the glorious wealth that God’s people will inherit.
The Holy Spirit is the guarantee that you will receive your inheritance. 
In Him you were sealed with the Holy Spirit Whom He promised. 
God planned all of this so that you who had already focused your hope on Christ would praise Him and give Him glory.
 God decided ahead of time to choose you through Christ 
according to His plan, which makes everything work the way He intends.
God poured out His kindness by giving you every kind of wisdom and insight when He revealed the mystery of His plan to you through Christ.
 God forgives your failures because of His overflowing kindness.
 Through the blood of His Son, you are set free from your sins.
Because of His love He had already decided to adopt you through Jesus Christ.
He chose you through Christ to be holy and perfect in His presence.
God has blessed you with every spiritual blessing 
that heaven has to offer.
Certainly, sin shouldn’t have power over you because 
you’re not controlled by God’s laws, but by God’s favor.
Offer all the parts of your body to God. 
Use them to do everything for Him.
No part of your body should ever be used to do any ungodly thing.
So consider yourselves dead to sin’s power but living for God in the power Christ Jesus gives you in Him.
