Hebrews, James, and 1 Peter are the first three of eight general epistles found near the end of the New Testament.

try to be more consumed by Jesus. We need to foster a place for Jesus to abide in us and let his Holy Spirit take command of our life. With the power and glory of the Lord we are then able to change. In order to turn away from sin we must cut a new covenant with the lord that is distinct to our relationship with him. The most powerful way to achieve this is through communion.
