ephesians-2:11

It is striking how over and over this word Participation appears in the New Testament. We are told that we are made partners of Christ.

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of... Read More
