"15.Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16.He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17.And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18.they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19.So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20.And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen." Mark 16.15-20

GRACE AND TRUTH
--Grace is the unlimited life, power, gifts, abilities, and nature of God imparted to us by the power of the Holy Spirit, through the complete righteousness and the finished sacrificial work of Jesus Christ on our behalf, because of His love for us and His mercy toward us, to enable us to do all the will of God on earth here and now, with a victorious spirit of excellence, praise, worship, and thanksgiving unto God, thereby overcoming all things in order to go and make disciples of all nations.
--Truth is the Word of truth. Jesus is the truth. John 14.6
