God is a builder who is at work to establish a new temple in his people.

The basis for our hope and obedience to Christ is the salvation we’ve already received in him.

“The true goal of Christian faith is more than to escape from eternal damnation. It is to achieve a fullness of life now and a resplendent glory in the age to come.” Zane Hodges

Salvation is valued in heaven and should be valued in the same way by Christians.

In Christ, we are assured an eternal and glorious inheritance that enables us to rejoice in the midst of suffering

The Church is the manifestation of Christ’ presence on earth today.

We are to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.

We can experience a sense of divine peace here and now.

Our identity determines how we will live.
