We still have God’s word today (1 Pet. 1:25)

It was GOD (personally present) in CHRIST, reconciling and restoring the world to favor with and committing to us the message of reconciliation – of the restoration to favor 

God is seeking for man who is after HIS OWN HEART - Who will do ALL HIS WILL.
