He (God) Has Given Us All Things That Pertain To Life (Zoe) and Godliness

We share a lived experience in Christ as believers.  We share a common salvation.  We must therefore radically quit the world and its seductive, and violent illusions.  For us it is the protracted gaze upon the person of Jesus that saves.  Peter only failed to walk upon the water when he took his eyes offf Jesus.  So it is with us too.  When we take our eyes off Jesus the world rushes in with its soiled and myopic schemes.  My brothers and sisters the form of this present age is being caused to pass away by the causative action of God.
