Kingdom Identity Embodied: Love, Holiness, and Contentment in God's Presence
Covenant faith manifests in visible love, holiness, and trust because God is present and faithful.
Hebrews 13:1-6 (BSB)
1 Continue in brotherly love.
2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
3 Remember those in prison as if you were bound with them, and those who are mistreated as if you were suffering with them.
4 Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”
6 So we say with confidence: “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”
