Did you know …
… from their very beginnings, all fifty States of the union credited their freedom, tranquility, their civil and religious liberties (and more) to God and no other. One went so far as to acknowledge the Christian foundation of the charter stating: “… it is the mutual duty of all to practice Christian Forbearance, Love and Charity towards each other” [attributed to the pen of Patrick Henry].
We read Paul’s words regarding the “Christian Forbearance, Love and Charity” in Ephesians 4:1-6:
“Therefore I, a prisoner of the Lord, urge you to walk worthily in the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, and bearing with one another in love, being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace: one body and one spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling: one Lord, one faith, one immersion, one God and Father of all, the One over all things and through all things an din all things …”
While Patrick Henry references this scriptural truth, we can look to Paul’s letter to the Ephesians for further instruction on Christian character. The translation of the above verses come from the One New Man Bible which is being published as the new Military Heritage Bible compiled by Soldiers Bible Ministry. The One New Man Bible brings a wonderful and easy to understand appreciation for the power given to believers for their daily walk, something our men and women in uniform need to be able to identify with. The Jewish Roots of Christianity come to life in the One New Man Bible as this translation brings out the power conveyed to believers through faith in Christ that has commonly been omitted from traditional English translations — a perfect fit for those who lay their lives on the line and offer themselves sacrificially to defend our Constitution.
The Preambles for all fifty States’ Constitutional Articles & Preambles are listed on Military Heritage Bible’s website (www.militaryheritagebible.org ). Take a moment to review them and see for yourself that the Judeo-Christian God — the one and only true God — is acknowledged as the basis for the establishment of law and freedoms enjoyed by citizens in all fifty States.
Watch for further interesting sneak previews from the new Military Heritage Bible being published by True Potential Publishing. Publication release date is scheduled for April 2012. Updates will be posted on the website at http://militaryheritagebible.org.
