Similarly, encourage the young men, to be self-controlled.
In everything set them an example by doing what is good.
In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness
of speech that cannot be condemned so that those who oppose
you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say
about us.
(Titus 2.6-8).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
But thank God, though you were once slaves of sin,
you have become obedient with all your heart to
the standard of teaching in which you were instructed
and to which you were committed.
And having been set free from sin, you have become the
servants of righteousness.
(Romans 6.17 & 18).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Because he has set his love upon Me,
therefore I will deliver him; I will set
him on high, because he knows and
understands My name.
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him.
I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him
and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him and and show him
My salvation.
(Psalm 91.14-16).
HALLELUJAH! WE PRAISE YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
THE WHOLE UNIVERSE
But He ascended? Now what can this, He ascended, mean but that
He had previously descended from the heights of heaven into the
depths, the lower parts of the earth?
He Who descended is the very same as He Who also has ascended
high above all the heavens, that He might fill all things, the whole
universe with His presence, from the lowest to the highest.
(Ephesians 4.9 and 10).
POINTS FOR MEDITATION AND PRAISE
1) He Who knew no sin became sin for us, so that we might become the
righteousness of God in Christ (I. Corinthians 5.21).
He entered into the fullness of human experience in order to redeem
humanity. Sorrow, grief, sadness, frustration, anger, disappointment,
being misunderstood, insulted, attacked, tortured, imprisoned and killed
were among His experiences. He conquered all of that from within and
triumphed for all of us. Please read Isaiah 53.3 and Hebrews 4.15 and
send your comments.
2) Jesus Christ spanned the highest high and the lowest low in order to
fill the entire spectrum of human existence and experience with His
presence, thereby redeeming it and also to redeem the whole universe
as the children of God are ultimately manifested, the entire creation will
be transformed. This will be Creation 2.0 where death, decay, despair and
destruction will be abolished. There will be no suffering, pain, illness, grief,
or distress. The whole creation will be set free from entropy. There will be
a new Space and a new earth. Please read Romans 8.17-23 and Revelation
Chapter 22, the last chapter in your Bible. Send your comments please.
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
PRAISE BE TO HIM FOREVER AND EVER!
There is therefore now no condemnation
to those who are in Christ Jesus, who
do not walk according to the flesh, but
according to the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ
Jesus has made me free from the law
of sin and death.
For what the law could not do in that
it was weak through the flesh, God did
by sending His own Son in the likeness
of sinful flesh, on account of sin.
He condemned sin in the flesh,
that the righteous requirement of
the law might be fulfilled in us who
do not walk according to the flesh
but according to the Spirit.
For those who live according to the
flesh set their minds on the things
of the flesh, but those who live
according to the Spirit, the things
of the Spirit.
For to be carnally minded is death,
but to be spiritually minded is life
and peace.
( Romans 8.1-6).
