Romans 8:18-21 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the
glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of
God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in
hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the
glory of the children of God.
Genesis 3:7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig
leaves together and made themselves loincloths (belts).
When Adam and Eve saw that they were uncovered, they felt shame. They had to do something to be
clothed. The first fashion statement by the first tailor and seamstress was designed and created. They took
fig leaves and sewed them together to ensure their nakedness problem would go away. Their efforts, as it
seemed, had worked and they were covered by their newly made belts.
There was one problem. The green material they used had always been green. It had only just been sub-
jected to corruption. Death had begun its slow perversion but had not been detected. There was no reason
for them to think that this was a poor material to use for their covering. Even as God spoke with them, their
covering was drying out and would soon become useless.
Jesus was the second Adam and He said, “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by it-
self, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the
branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do
nothing (John 15:4,5)
Jesus is truth (John 14:6) and we must abide in Him. God made it possible for man to take hold of truth and
wear it.
“Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having
done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth…” (Ephesians 6:13-14a). Jesus
is this belt of truth.
Adam and Eve chose a belt that would fade. This began their slow death and slow perversion of God’s per-
fect creation. Their choice of material for their covering will forever serve as a symbol of the very corrup-
tion man experienced that day.
“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever” (Isaiah 40:8).
Today we are blessed beyond measure to be able to choose between these two belts.
I choose the belt that will not fade, the Belt of Truth that’s been
Tailor Made.

A World Turned Upside Down – Part 3
A third reason why the church of the first cen-
tury had such a profound effect upon the world of its
day is that the church refused to accept the view
that one could be saved just as well outside the
church as in it. This was because they understood
and they preached the necessity of the blood of
Christ in man’s salvation. The writer of the letter to
the Hebrews wrote that, “according to the law al-
most all things are purified with blood, and with-
out shedding of blood there is no remis-
sion” (Heb. 9:22). No sins could be saved without
the shedding of blood and that is why through the
years millions of animals were sacrificed and untold
gallons of blood were shed, it was not able to re-
move a single sin. The writer of Hebrews continues
in 10:4 saying “For it is not possible that the
blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.”
If man was to be saved it would require the blood of
Jesus which He shed in His death on the cross. The
apostle Paul declared in Romans 5L8, 9 – “But
God demonstrates His own love toward us, in
that while we were still sinners, Christ died for
us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified
by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath
through Him.” Then again in his letter to the
church at Ephesus this same apostle wrote, “In
Him we have redemption through His blood, the
forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of
His grace” (Eph. 1:17).
The church is a blood bought institution and
the church of the first century preached that it was
purchased with the blood of Christ! The elders of
the church at Ephesus were reminded of this in
Paul’s admonition to them in their meeting at Mi-
letus, recorded by Luke in Acts 20:28, to
“Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all
the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made
you overseers, to shepherd the church of God
which He purchased with His own blood.” And
the apostle Peter reminds us of this truth in his first
general epistle, writing, “knowing that you were
not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver
or gold, from your aimless conduct received by
tradition from your fathers, 19 but with the pre-
cious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without
blemish and without spot.”
There is no other name by which we must be
saved (Acts 4:12) and that name is Jesus and it is
only by His blood that anyone is saved. When one
is baptized into the death of Jesus where His blood
was shed, He is cleansed of His sins and is added
to His church (Acts 2:41).

Thank You
Dear Sisters,
Thank you so much for the kind remembrance of
my birthday. I enjoyed each one of them and I
got a big “kick” of those with the $1 bills in
them! And each card had a special meaning to
me.
I love and appreciate you all.
In Christian Love,
Anne Powell
