Christ in glory sanctifies, purifies and washes by the water of the Word His body through letters written by His servant, the Apostle Paul, while in prison in Rome.
1. Colossians — the positive side of the gospel, union with Christ in glory.
2. Ephesians — the church, the body, united to Christ its head.
3. Philippians — personal devotedness.
4. Philemon — practical righteousness, through grace.
5. Second Timothy — personal faithfulness in a day of ruin.
