VII
In the assurance, given us in the Gospel, of the love of God our
Father to each of us and to all men, and in the faith that Jesus
Christ, Who died, overcame death and has passed into the heavens,
the first-fruits of them that sleep, we are made confident of the
hope of Immortality, and trust to God our souls and the souls of
the departed. We believe that the whole world must stand before the
final Judgment of the Lord Jesus Christ. And, with glad and solemn
hearts, we look for the consummation and bliss of the life
everlasting, wherein the people of God, freed for ever from sorrow
and from sin, shall serve Him and see His face in the perfected
communion of all saints in the Church triumphant.
The Committee on Constitution recommended a definite union of the Free
Church denominations on the basis of a federation which should express
their essential unity, promote evangelization, maintain their liberties
and take action where authorised in all matters affecting the interests,
duties, rights, and privileges of the federating churches, and to enter
into communion and united action where possible with other branches of
the church of Christ throughout the world.
