• Throughly – Completely, fully, wholly; without reserve; sincerely.
  
• Furnished – Supplied, garnished, adorned, decorated, embellished; fitted with necessities.

God tells us how to get right with Him and how to stay right with Him. 

Php 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
