FREEDOM'S FOUNDATION
 By Miles Sanford


"I have been crucified with Christ, and I myself no longer live" (Gal. 
2:20, Wms.).

Upon conversion, the new believer feels that every opposition to a 
joyous, fruitful Christian life has been overcome once for all. Later, 
when the world and self begin to insinuate themselves once again, he 
thinks that determination and self-effort will keep him free. Finally, 
after a seemingly endless struggle, the defeated believer is brought 
back to the Cross. Here is the source of liberation from the power of 
self and the
    world.

"Sinners are not saved until they trust the Saviour, and saints are not 
delivered until they trust the Deliverer. God has made both possible 
through the Cross of His Son." ---L.S.C.

"The believer can never overcome the 'old man' even by the power of' the 
'new' apart from the work of the Cross, and therefore the death of 
Christ is indispensable, and unless the Cross is made the basis upon 
which he overcomes the 'old nature,' he only drops into another form of 
morality; in other words, he is seeking by self-effort to overcome sin 
and self, and the struggle is a hopeless one." - C.U.

"Just as the Lord Jesus came into this world where this old humanity was 
and came into it not to ally Himself with it but to take it into death 
by the Cross, even so He now by the Holy Spirit, in regeneration, comes 
into us where there is this old fallen life and not to ally Himself with 
it, but to hold it in the place of death by the same means - His Cross." 
- N.D.

"But may it never be mine to boast of anything but the Cross of our Lord 
Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me and I to the 
world!" (Gal. 6:14, Wms.).
 





    
     Our Purpose and Mission

The ministry of "Grace and The Truth" has the purpose of encouraging 
Christians to believe what God says.

We read in in Ephesians. 1:18 "The eyes of your understanding being 
enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what 
the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints," and in 
Colossians 2:2 " That their hearts might be comforted, being knit 
together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of 
understanding, to the acknowledgment (epignosis) true knowledge of the 
mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ".

We are dedicated to helping Christians to a fuller knowledge of Him, and 
the Grace of God. Until we all come into the Unity, Ephesians 4:13 "Till 
we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son 
of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the 
fullness of Christ:"
