STRIP

Strip yourselves of your former nature

which characterized your previous

manner of life and becomes corrupt

through lusts and desires that spring

from delusion;

And be constantly renewed in the

spirit of your mind,

And put on the new nature created

in God’s image, in true righteousness

and holiness.

Therefore, rejecting all falsity and being

done now with it, let everyone express

the truth with his neighbor, for we are

all parts of one body and members of

one another.

When angry, do not sin; do not ever let

your fury last until the sun goes down.

Leave no room or foothold for the devil.

Let the thief steal no more, but rather let

him be industrious, making an … Continue Reading

ADOPTION

“We who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, we ourselves also

groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, the

redemption of the body.”

Yes, the whole creation which has, for this hope subjected

to futility also groans and waits for the manifestation of the

sons of God.

We are subjected to the vanity or futility that we encounter in

nature, the death and destruction,darkness and depravity present

in this age. However the Holy Spirit heralds the Future in God,

with God through Christ Jesus our Lord.

We are pioneers of hope as we wait for our adoption, that is the

redemption of our body.

We understand that we are redeemed by our … Continue Reading

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

LOVE DIVINE, ALL LOVES EXCELLING

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution,

or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

As it is written: ” For Your sake we are killed

all day long; we are accounted as sheep for

the slaughter.”

Yet in all these things we are more than

conquerors through Him who loved us.

For I am persuaded that neither death

nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor

powers, nor things present nor things to come,

Nor height nor depth, nor any other created

thing, shall be able to separate us from the love

of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The Nature of Sin

THE NATURE OF SIN

What then do we conclude?

Is the Law identical with sin?

Certainly not! Nevertheless,

if it had not been for the Law,

I would not have recognized

sin. For instance I would not

have known about covetousness

if the Law had not said, You should

not covet and have an evil desire.

But sin, finding an opportunity, to

express itself got a hold on me and

provoked forbidden desires such as

lust and covetousness. For without

the Law sin is inactive.

Once I was alive, but quite apart from

the Law. But when the commandment

came, sin came alive and I died.

And the very legal ordinance which was

designed to bring life actually proved

death.

For … Continue Reading

THE LOVE OF THE FATHER

THE LOVE OF THE FATHER

O righteous Father! The world has not
known You, but I have known You and
these have known that You sent Me.
And I have declared to them Your name,
and I will declare it, that the love with
which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.

 ( John 17. 25-26).

 

 

TOTALLY AMAZING

How awesome and wonderful it is to realize that the Father

loves us with the same love He loves the Son

and the Holy Spirit enables us to experience

 and express the love of

the father toward Jesus because Jesus is in us.

 

Christ in you the hope of glory. ( Colossians … Continue Reading

BELOVED

BELOVED

Beloved, let us love one another,
for love is of God and everyone who
loves is born of God and knows God.
He who does not love does not know God,

for GOD IS LOVE. (I. John 4.7-8).
We experience and express the perfect
love of God through the Holy Spirit.
We know the greatest love in the universe

is shown to us when Jesus
Christ died for us on the cross.
He lives and gives us the love we need
to display to the world.

The love to
demonstrate that He is the Savior of the world.
He said,

” By this all will know
that you are My disciples, if you
have love for one … Continue Reading
