BE A STRANGER TO THESE – IDOLS AND IDOLATRY: IDOLATRY IS DEMONIC AND AN IDOL IS ANYTHING YOU REVERED TO GOD!

“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may KNOW him that is true, and we ARE in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 21 Little children, KEEP YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS. Amen” 1 John 5:20-21.

“Wherefore, my dearly beloved, FLEE from IDOLATRY. 15 I speak as to WISE men; JUDGE ye what I say . . . 18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 19 What say I then? THAT THE IDOL IS ANY THING, OR THAT WHICH IS OFFERED IN SACRIFICE TO IDOLS IS ANY THING? . . .” 1 Corinthians 10:14-18.

God’s Child – it’s a high time you keep yourself away from IDOLS AND IDOLATRY – and any of their such-like demands and activities.

God abhors IDOL and IDOLATRY, and won’t share His glory with any. Endeavour to become a stranger directly and indirectly to any sign up and presence of IDOL and IDOLATRY otherwise you become an enemy of God in Christ Jesus stead.

“For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an IDOLATER, hath any INHERITANCE in the kingdom of Christ and of God” Ephesians 5:5.

IT’S A HIGH TIME YOU FLEE FROM THE APPEARANCE OF IDOL AND THE IDOLATRY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

THAT THE IDOL IS ANY THING, OR THAT WHICH IS OFFERED IN SACRIFICE TO IDOLS IS ANY THING? 20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, THEY SACRIFICE TO DEVILS, AND NOT TO GOD: and I would not that ye should have FELLOWSHIP WITH DEVILS. 21 Ye cannot DRINK THE CUP of the Lord, and THE CUP of devils: ye cannot be PARTAKERS of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. 22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? 23 ALL THINGS ARE LAWFUL FOR ME, BUT ALL THINGS ARE NOT EXPEDIENT: ALL THINGS ARE LAWFUL FOR ME, BUT ALL THINGS EDIFY NOT. 24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth . . . 31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 32 GIVE NONE OFFENCE, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God . . .” 1 Corinthians 10:14-33

“Now as TOUCHING things offered unto IDOLS, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him. 4 As concerning therefore the EATING of those things that are offered in SACRIFICE UNTO IDOLS, we know that an IDOL IS NOTHING in the world, and that there is none other God but one. 5 For though there be that ARE called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) 6 but to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. 7 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. 8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. 9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 11 and through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend” 1 Corinthians 8:1-13.

BE EMBOLDENED – TO TAKE AND MAKE A STAND ON YOUR FAITH IN THE GRACE

BE EMBOLDENED – TO TAKE AND MAKE A STAND ON YOUR FAITH IN THE GRACE: FOR YOU’VE BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS!

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, ACQUITTED of sin, DECLARED BLAMELESS before God] BY FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS BY FAITH into this [remarkable state of] grace in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us REJOICE in our HOPE and the CONFIDENT ASSURANCE of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power]” Romans 5:1-2/AMP.

Beloved in Christ – no matter what’s going on in your life today, I challenge and behold you to always stand EMBOLDENED in the grace; and to TAKE and MAKE – YOUR STAND KNOWN OF YOUR BELIEVE IN THE FAITH – in the REDEMPTION that our God have given us in Christ Jesus stead. There’s so much out there of fear phobia, inferiority complex, intimidation, self or cohorts accusation of your past, that’s hunting and hurting your present; or and self defeat of the assumptions about you and such like; and as to the reality and tangibility of who you are and worth now in Christ Jesus; or probably because of your past or current challenges and circumstances. Am here to inform you for your justification that results your transformation in grace, and of the need to raise your heads up, shoulders high and put on your emboldened redemption in the faith with high heels of confidence of your JUSTIFIED state in Christ Jesus; this is to ensure and assure you God’s enabling, in order for you to be in charge and control and the custodian of your own God’s good and goodness in Redemption.  Amen.

“For God did not give us a spirit of TIMIDITY OR COWARDICE OR FEAR, but [He has given us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND judgment and PERSONAL discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:7/AMP.

“Herein is our love made PERFECT [COMPLETE], that we may have BOLDNESS [CONFIDENCE] in the day of JUDGMENT [JUSTICE, CHALLENGES]: because as HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in love; but PERFECT [COMPLETE] love casteth out FEAR: because FEAR HATH TORMENT. He that FEARETH is not MADE PERFECT [COMPLETE ] in love” 1 John 4:17-18/Emphasis Mine.

“And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him” 1 John 5:14-15.

A questioning came up in Luke 4:22, when Jesus Christ takes a STAND UP to speak GRACIOUS WORDS that was contrary in His days and in the ways of speaking emboldened of God’s personalised and personified purpose in one’s life [John 18:37; 1 John 3:8; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12]. And we can see same too and differently in our day to day from many in denominationised and sectarianism settings as in some religious sayings as – “return to sender”, “fire and thunder”, “holy ghost fire” and such like which indicates pure ignorance and condescending out of the redemption Scriptural TRUTH God had offered us in Christ Jesus stead, to sing and speak forth in the new songs of testifying to our faith only of Christ Jesus and not to religious bigotry [Revelation 5:9-10; Revelation 19:10; Philemon 1:6; Hebrews 10:23, 35-39]. We must take a robustness in our STAND on the GRACE wherein we are JUSTIFIED BY FAITH and have ACCESS BY FAITH toward God in Christ Jesus, instead of the onward and upward trajectory of sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation that appears and appeals to people vulnerability and quest that are unscriptural for the New Creation Testament.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS [RIGHT STANDING, BLAMELESS]. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of FAITH, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through FAITH, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall ALL nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE of faith ARE blessed with FAITHFUL Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9.

“And ALL bare Him [Jesus] WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of His MOUTH. And they said, IS NOT THIS JOSEPH’S SON?” Luke 4:22.

It’s time to be emboldened of your FAITH STAND in Christ, and save yourself from every form of QUESTIONING on your JUSTIFICATION in REDEMPTION in Christ JESUS, and from SIN and it’s EFFECT in terms to these: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH, by taking a STAND UP on your FAITH in GRACE against the ENEMY and COHORTS in order to keep them at bay; and go on holding forth steadfastly the AFFIRMATION of your Faith in Christ Jesus stead, against all odds. Amen.

Be EMBOLDENED to take a FAITH STAND in GRACE on the WORD as our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ did when He stood in the Temple to declare of His personified purpose with God [Luke 4:1-22] and in many other instances of confrontations by the religious and political elites of His days in humanity. He did take His STAND to FULFIL Father God PURPOSE in His humanity AGAINST all three odds suggestive questionnaire that was thrown on Him, by the ENEMY satan as by his COHORTS in other places, by answering him satan in all – IT’S WRITTEN [Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13]. I PRAY you know how to say to the ENEMY and COHORTS in their various acts of manifesting and revealing [as wolves in sheep clothing’s, and or like a roaring lion and or as an angel of light] to challenge your faith stand in Christ Jesus by saying – IT’S WRITTEN too as Jesus Christ did. Amen. [1 Peter 5:8-12; Mathew 7:15; 2 Corinthians 11:14].

Let none keep you on the low or down by any means – to bring back the memory of sin, sinful nature, setback, failures and defeat and such like. In Christ Jesus you are PRICELESS and have an awesome, fabulous and gorgeous WORTH in grace that no wealth and riches of any can buy [Psalms 49:6-10].

Your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus by Father God is a DID, a DONE and a DEED – Period! STAND ON it And FOR it daily – no matter what. Be steadfast and steadily STANDING ON your REDEMPTION GROUND; and to keep STANDING AGAINST any contrary. Meaning be more CONSCIOUSNESS of who YOU ARE in CHRIST JESUS, than of what SATAN and COHORTS are about you in SIN and FAILURE CONSCIOUSNESS. When you give the enemy and cohorts NO ATTENTION, they will give you NO DIRECTION to travel along. So, don’t give them any form of OXYGEN to breath around your REDEMPTION stand in grace, wherein you are BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS stead. Amen.

DON’T BE A WALK OVER BELIEVER BY ANYONE OR ANYTHING – RATHER – BE EMBOLDENED TO TAKE AND MAKE A STAND ON YOUR BELIEVE AND FAITH – NO MATTER WHAT MAY. For in Christ Jesus you ARE – TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, OVERCOMER AND MORE THAN CONQUERORS – all the way. And you –  ARE REDEEMED, BEING REDEEMED AND SHALL BE REDEEMED – as BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. Amen.

Have A Blessed Day in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But that no man is JUSTIFIED by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith . . . 23 But before FAITH came, we were kept UNDER THE LAW, shut up unto the FAITH which should afterwards be REVEALED. 24 Wherefore the LAW was our SCHOOLMASTER to bring us unto Christ, that we might be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH” Galatians 3:11, 23-24.

“Knowing that a man is not JUSTIFIED by the works of the law, but by the FAITH of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be JUSTIFIED BY THE FAITH of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified” Galatians 2:16.

“Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH without the DEEDS of the law” Romans 3:28.

“Now may the God of peace Himself SANCTIFY (SET APART) you through and through [that is, SEPARATE you from profane and vulgar things, make you PURE and WHOLE and undamaged—consecrated to Him—SET APART for His purpose]; and may your SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY be kept COMPLETE and [be found] BLAMELESS at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23 (Amplified).

“For THE WORD of God is LIVING and ACTIVE and FULL of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13 (Amplified).

“. . .3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: . . . 7 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the RICHES OF HIS GRACE; 8 wherein he hath ABOUNDED toward us in all wisdom and prudence . . .” Ephesians 1:1-23

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION of our FAITH without WAVERING; (for he is FAITHFUL that promised;)” Hebrews 10:23.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your adversary the devil, as a ROARING lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST in the FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of ALL GRACE, who hath CALLED us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGHTEN, SETTLE you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-12.

“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST the WILES of the devil. . . 14 STAND therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness” Ephesians 6:11, 14.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE [CREATION, PERSON, PERSONALITY]: OLD things are PASSED away; behold, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW . . . 21 For he hath MADE him to be SIN for us, who knew no SIN; that we MIGHT be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in HIM” 2 Corinthians 5:17, 21/Emphasis mine.

“Who hath DELIVERED us from the power of darkness, and hath TRANSLATED us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” Colossians 1:13-14.

“Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the promise of the Spirit through faith” Galatians 3:13-14.

“Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be TEMPTED OF THE DEVIL. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3 And when THE TEMPTER came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4 But he answered and said, IT IS WRITTEN, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by EVERY WORD that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6 and saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: FOR IT IS WRITTEN, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 and saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: FOR IT IS WRITTEN, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and MINISTERED unto him” Matthew 4:1-11 [Luke 4:1-13].

YOUR EARNEST EXPECTATIONS IN REDEMPTION

YOUR EARNEST EXPECTATIONS IN REDEMPTION: FREEDOM FROM IDOLS – AND THEIR EFFECTS!

“Behold Israel after the FLESH: are not they which eat of the SACRIFICES partakers of the altar? 19 What say I then? THAT THE IDOL IS ANY THING, or THAT WHICH IS OFFERED IN SACRIFICE TO IDOLS IS ANY THING? 20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they SACRIFICE TO DEVILS, and not to God: and I WOULD NOT that ye should have FELLOWSHIP WITH DEVILS” 1 Corinthians 10:18-20.

There’s no place and room for IDOL and IDOLATORY in the services of God in the Kingdom, if you are intending to live on and enjoy the BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Having an IDOL in ones life, robs one of the pure and genuine acts to WORSHIP God WORTHILY and to SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY in LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. For an idol is ANYTHING – person’s and or materials – that takes the place of God in Christ Jesus, in our cause and service, on the face of God.

And we as the redeemed of God, born of the precious blood of Christ Jesus, and made to be a chosen generation, a peculiar people, a royal priesthood and a holy nation, and to offer unto God the marvelous, gracious and graceful acts of worship and service unreservedly with our being – it’s imperative that we do not let any man make an idol and god, out of us nor make ourselves an idol and god, out of any man for whatsoever, in LIFE and GODLINESS. For our God is Holy, just, true, sure and jealous, over us in all things.

“But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light” 1 Peter 2:9.

Therefore look within you – in hearts and thoughts, for God searches the hearts, mind and thoughts of every man, to know, ensuring that you are genuinely FREE indeed by His WORD from idol and idolatry and dedication to any god’s, goddess and shrines of any man made objects and to any person – living or dead and to any object.

“And thou, Solomon my son, KNOW thou the God of thy father, and SERVE him with a PERFECT heart and with a willing mind: FOR THE LORD SEARCHETH ALL HEARTS, AND UNDERSTANDETH ALL THE IMAGINATIONS OF THE THOUGHTS: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever”  1 Chronicles 28:9.

You can be FREE today and now. Be FREE from IDOL and IDOLATORY – in order to enjoy God’s FAITHFULNESS and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And WHAT CONCORD HATH CHRIST WITH BELIAL? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 and what agreement hath THE TEMPLE OF GOD WITH IDOLS? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty” 1 Corinthians 6:15-20.

“. . . and all the churches shall know that I am he which SEARCHETH THE REINS AND HEARTS: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works” Revelation 2:23.

“For THE WORD OF GOD is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the DIVISION of SOUL and SPIRIT, and of JOINTS and MARROW, and is a DISCERNER of the THOUGHTS AND INTENTS OF THE HEART. 13 And there is NO CREATURE HIDDEN FROM HIS SIGHT, but all things are NAKED AND OPEN to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account” Hebrews 4:12-13.

WE’VE BEEN JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS

WE’VE BEEN JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS: NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURTS AND YOUR PAST – WHEN YOU’VE BEING JUSTIFIED!

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, ACQUITTED of sin, DECLARED BLAMELESS before God] BY FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the JOY OF RECONCILIATION with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS BY FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us REJOICE in our HOPE and the CONFIDENT ASSURANCE of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the MANIFESTATION of His EXCELLENCE and POWER]” Romans 5:1-2/AMP.

Are you struggling to FORGIVE and FORGET? Do you still go FISHING the PAST to hunt and hurt the PRESENT? Do you wants to live WHOLE again from bitterness, anger, wrath, revenge and more?  There’s hope in REDEMPTION. You can possess your WHOLENESS in Redemption again. And when you are – BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS there’s NO MORE FISHING EXPEDITION ON YOUR PAST AND YOUR HURTS, because FORGIVENESS and FORGETFULNESS is MADE POSSIBLE in the JUSTIFICATION OF GOD – in CHRIST JESUS on your behalf – that’s the gracious and BLESSEDNESS our REDEMPTION.

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH NOT HIS ANGER FOR EVER, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will turn again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our INIQUITIES; and thou wilt CAST ALL their SINS into the DEPTHS of the sea” Micah 7:18-19.

In today’s society – individuals, families, businessess, communities, and nations, governments and governances are been ruin everyday by everyway because of the inability to not FORGIVE and to FORGET; and more importantly, to moved FORWARD from the past and hurts, and moved in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, in God’s given grace and BLESSEDNESS to succeed in Christ Jesus stead.

“We know that we have PASSED from death unto life, because we LOVE the brethren. He that LOVETH NOT his brother ABIDETH in DEATH. 15 Whosoever HATETH his brother is a MURDERER: and ye know that NO MURDERER hath ETERNAL LIFE ABIDING in him. 16 Hereby PERCEIVE we the LOVE of God, because He LAID DOWN His life for us: and we OUGHT TO LAY DOWN our lives for the brethren” 1 John 3:14-16.

The ability to forgive YOURSELF, forgive OTHERS and accept GOD’S forgiveness will guarantee you the graciousness and gracefulness to live WHOLE in FORGETFULNESS and become free from the cancerous monster of BITTERNESS, ANGER, REVENGE, WRATH, WICKEDNESS and such like – the more.

I make bold to say that to be WHOLE in spirit, soul and body, the antidote to forgive and forget with ease, is to let JUSTIFICATION play the means route and role in all forms of FORGIVENESS. That’s the gateway to FORGETFULNESS in moving FORWARD – that is, in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, on what God DID in Christ Jesus for us all, in order to be WHOLE again in Him. Romans 5:1-2.

He did not only FORGIVES us IN our sins and shortfalls of evils and wickedness and more, but JUSTIFIED us, which is an antidote, so that we CAN now access Him in our UPWARD, INWARD and ONWARD day to day life of grace.

And to JUSTIFY or BEING JUSTIFIED IN CHRIST JESUS, is to declare you guiltless, discharge and free, that is, to be ACQUITTED, as if you’ve never done what you’ve been accused of or have done because Jesus made Himself the sin for our redemption [2 Corinthians 5:21]. For this is what God accomplished by using the eternal DONE work of grace that Jesus Christ DID in our REDEMPTION, to set us FREE without accusations, ensuring and assuring that there’s NO FISHING NET of REMEMBRANCE and our PAST attached, thereby making us a NEW CREATION [2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 6:14-16]; God by justification did all the enumerated in Christ Jesus, in order to ERASE our PAST, as He ensure and assure that our INIQUITIES has been BURIED in the sea of FORGETFULNESS – and NO MORE THE FISHING of the PAST to HURT and HUNT your TODAY and TOMORROW in Christ Jesus stead. AMEN.

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH NOT HIS ANGER FOR EVER, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will turn again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our INIQUITIES; and thou wilt CAST ALL their SINS into the DEPTHS of the SEA [OF FORGETFULNESS]” Micah 7:18-19/Emphasis Mine.

Therefore I make bold to say you and to all, that to the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus has no PAST because we’ve BEING JUSTIFIED BY IN CHRIST JESUS. And when you act in same like spirit TOWARD others, you will LIVE FREE from and of – BITTERNESS, ANGER, WRATH, FEAR, WORRY, REVENGE and such like the more; otherwise it will hunt and hurt you as a cancerous disease, especially on you the one who refuses to both FORGIVE and FORGET but go about nursing grudges in sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation as you do life and do godly in Christ Jesus.

IT’S EXPENSIVE TO CARRY RESENTMENT AND WRATH – IT’S LIKE TAKING PARACETAMOL MEDICINES FOR ANOTHER PERSON HEADACHES – THEREFORE, NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURT – FORGIVENESS AND FORGETFULNESS IS POSSIBLE IN REDEMPTION – THROUGH JUSTIFICATION ACTS AND PROCESSES OF REDEMPTION IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

I pray you God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in this knowing and understanding, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS by faith into this GRACE wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God . . . 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 BUT GOD COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT, WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. 9 Much more then, being now JUSTIFIED by his blood, we shall be SAVED FROM WRATH through him. 10 For if, when we were ENEMIES, we were RECONCILED to God by the death of his Son, much more, BEING RECONCILED, we shall be SAVED BY HIS LIFE. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now RECEIVED the atonement” Romans 5:1-2, 5-11.

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH NOT HIS ANGER FOR EVER, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will turn again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt CAST ALL their SINS into the DEPTHS of the sea” Micah 7:18-19.

He that LOVETH NOT his brother ABIDETH in DEATH. 15 Whosoever HATETH his brother is a MURDERER: and ye know that NO MURDERER hath ETERNAL LIFE ABIDING in him. 16 Hereby PERCEIVE we the LOVE of God, because he LAID DOWN his life for us: and we OUGHT TO LAY DOWN our lives for the brethren” 1 John 3:14-16.

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour, and HATE thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE your ENEMIES, BLESS them that CURSE you, DO GOOD to them that HATE you, and PRAY for them which DESPITEFULLY use you, and PERSECUTE you; 45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore PERFECT (MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE), even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT (MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE)” Matthew 5:43-48 Emphasis Mine.

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.

TOTAL GOSPEL

TOTAL GOSPEL: TOTAL REDEMPTION!

Total GOSPEL ensures total REDEMPTION that transforms the total man: spirit, soul and body. Anything contrary is short of the Gospel message in REDEMPTION. Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:8.

Know for sure in life that human government and governance comes and go. Acclaimed Human heroes, icons and idols comes and go. It’s ONLY in Christ Jesus, therein is true and genuine FREEDOM that endures and ensures for ALL life time – the life we have now and the life to come. Therefore, you can bank on your well-being wholeness and completeness, in Christ Jesus stead.

Jesus provides total Redemption by the total Gospel; and Total Gospel emancipates and delivers to the wholeness of our being: SPIRIT, SOUL and BODY. Anything less is fallacy, deception, counterfeit, perversion and self-made failure.

Jesus wants you also to increase in grace, wisdom and speed as He did in humanity under Father God, as in this SCRIPTURAL contex:

“And Jesus increased in WISDOM (Mentally) and STATURE (Physically), and in favour with God (Spiritually) and man (Socially)” Luke 2:52.

** SPIRITUALLY – He was and He’s in FAVOUR with God

** SOCIALLY – He was and He’s in FAVOUR with people in human relationship

** PHYSICALLY (Stature) – He was and He’s in great health and strenght.

** MENTALLY – He was and He’s sound in wisdom to profit one in doing life and to ease godly living in every phase of our being – Economically, Intelligently, Psychologically and such like.

Know for sure, true and certainly, Jesus Christ could live above only in humanity for our example and learning, as indicative of possibilities in the scriptural writs but not limited to – Romans 15:4; 1 Peter 2:21.

“And Jesus increased in WISDOM (Mentally) and STATURE (Physically), and in favour with God (Spiritually) and man (Socially)” Luke 2:52.

“And the very God of peace sanctify you WHOLLY; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

“For the WORD of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of SOUL and SPIRIT, and of the JOINTS and MARROW, and is a discerner of the THOUGHTS and INTENTS of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13.

“Therefore BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of faith, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY THE HEATHEN THROUGH FAITH, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of faith ARE blessed with faithful Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9.

“But that no man is JUSTIFIED by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith . . . 24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH” Galatians 3:11, 24.

“Knowing that a man is not JUSTIFIED by the works of the law, but by the FAITH of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be JUSTIFIED BY THE FAITH of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified” Galatians 2:16.

“Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH without the DEEDS of the law” Romans 3:28.

“Now may the God of peace Himself SANCTIFY (SET APART) you through and through [that is, SEPARATE you from profane and vulgar things, make you PURE and WHOLE and undamaged—consecrated to Him—SET APART for His purpose]; and may your SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY be kept COMPLETE and [be found] BLAMELESS at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23 (Amplified).

“For THE WORD of God is LIVING and ACTIVE and FULL of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13 (Amplified).

MIRRORING YOUR WELL-BEING BY GOD’S LOVE

MIRRORING YOUR WELL-BEING BY GOD’S LOVE: LOVING THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD IN THE EYES OF CHRIST JESUS!

“And [that you may come] to KNOW [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS [mere] SENSE knowledge [without experience], that you may be FILLED up [throughout your being] to all the FULLNESS of God [so that you may have the RICHEST experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely FILLED and FLOODED with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:19/AMP.

Mirroring God’s LOVE in our lives, should be every believer’s earnest desired intent and expectations to live along with in their respective day-to-day walk with God in Christ Jesus’ stead. The question then is, how would you do it? How do you do it? And how are you doing it in your day-to-day living thus far? Is it through the eyes of your DENOMINATIONAL and DOCTRINAL Church sectarian by-laws and creeds or as done in the WORLD dominated definition or you are DOING it through the EYES and FACE of Christ in the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of God as in the Scriptures?

“For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” is the One who has SHONE in our hearts to give us the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the glory and majesty of God [clearly revealed] in the FACE of Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6 Amplified.

LOVING through KNOWLEDGE in the EYES and FACE of JESUS by the Holy Spirit that’s GIVEN to us, is the essence of FULFILLING scriptures and being FULFILLED in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . .  8 But God COMMENDETH his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET sinners, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5-8.

If you do mirror your essence of God’s love in order to do life through the eyes of the DENOMINATIONAL and DOCTRINAL Church as by their set by-laws and creeds and or the WORLD definition as seen in today’s view, I promised you this verily, that you will be stigmatised, lock in dogmas, creed and self-centered; more so, you will eventually be full of any or all of these: RELIGION-MADE, SECTARIANISM, SELF-MADE and MAN-MADE, with it’s bondages and captivity which are as ascertain from all sorts, and may seems good in human eyes but full of sentiments, prejudice, and dissimulation (hypocrisy) in every perception and life dealings; and the worst of it is that, it’s not healthy and gracious for a godly living before the God of LOVE in in the knowledge of Christ Jesus stead as SCRIPTURALLY enjoined.

“And [that you may come] to KNOW [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS [mere] SENSE knowledge [without experience], that you may be FILLED up [throughout your being] to all the FULLNESS of God [so that you may have the RICHEST experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely FILLED and FLOODED with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:19/AMP.

For when you mirror God’s love from and through the saving gracious KNOWLEDGE on the eyes and face of Christ Jesus, in order to do life and live godly, I can verily promise you, that you will be LIBERATED from all forms of bondage and captivity, and you will eventually – have be WHOLEHEARTEDLY experiencing WHOLENESS in your triune being of spirit, soul and body; and God’s love in Christ Jesus will take hold of you in all way to do life and live FULFILLING scriptures – BLESSEDLY, MEANINGFULLY and PURPOSEFULLY.

“Love is to be sincere and active [the real thing—without guile and hypocrisy]. Hate what is evil [detest all ungodliness, do not tolerate wickedness]; hold on tightly to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another with [authentic] brotherly affection [as members of one family], give preference to one another in honor; 11 never lagging behind in diligence; aglow in the Spirit, enthusiastically serving the Lord; 12 constantly rejoicing in hope [because of our confidence in Christ], steadfast and patient in distress, devoted to prayer [continually seeking wisdom, guidance, and strength], 13 contributing to the needs of God’s people, pursuing [the practice of] hospitality . . .” Romans 12:9-21 Amplified.

Genuine freedom is seeing God’s love from the eyes of Christ Jesus if you dare desire to genuinely live free in GRACE and in God’s KNOWLEDGE – wholesomely, purposefully and meaningfully.

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 LOOKING UNTO JESUS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” Hebrews 12:1-2.

“God, who at SUNDRY TIMES and in DIVERS MANNERS SPAKE IN TIME PAST unto the fathers by the PROPHETS, 2 hath in these LAST DAYS SPOKEN UNTO US BY HIS SON, whom he hath APPOINTED heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of his glory, and the EXPRESS image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they” Hebrews 1:1-4.

“. . . 16 May He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your innermost being and personality], 17 so that Christ may DWELL in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] ROOTED and [securely] GROUNDED in LOVE, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His LOVE [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] to KNOW [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS [mere] SENSE knowledge [without experience], that you may be FILLED up [throughout your being] to all the FULLNESS of God [so that you may have the RICHEST experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely FILLED and FLOODED with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:14-19 Amplified.

THE HOLY SPIRIT OF LOVE

THE HOLY SPIRIT OF LOVE: IS THE ANSWER OF GOD’S LOVED WORLD TO THE SPHERE AND QUESTIONS OF AN EVIL-WICKED-AND-HATED-WORLD TODAY!

“And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another HELPER (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), to be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of Truth, whom the WORLD cannot receive [and take to its heart] because it does not SEE Him or KNOW Him, but you KNOW Him because He (the Holy Spirit) remains WITH you continually and will be IN you” John 14:16-17/AMP.

Do you have QUESTIONS about the hate, evil, wickedness, murder, violent and more in our world today? There’s an ANSWER. The ANSWER is by ensuring in the midst of the evil and wickedness in the world, that God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus, becomes our FUNDAMENTAL and PRINCIPLED guidance in all essence of living godly and doing life.

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been POURED out in our HEARTS by the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us . . . 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

And LIVING and WALKING by the Holy Spirit of love, is the only EMPOWERING way to manifest and demonstrate the characteristics of God’s Love in Christ Jesus – that is how God’s LOVED WORLD answers to an EVIL WORLD, WICKED WORLD and HATE WORLD questions.

God’s love in Christ Jesus is characterised and summed in 1 Corinthians 13. It’s all possible by the working of the indwelling Spirit of love given to us – The Holy Spirit is shed and poured in our hearts – the subconscious spirit man to ensure that we triumph always all that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Romans 5:5, 8; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 2 Peter 1:2-4.

God’s kind of love, is the only way to do life and live through and above the knowledge of hate, selfishness, evil, wickedness and violence in the world that we see today. God’s love in Christ Jesus helps us to transcend and surpass the human based kind of love, which is of the SENSES – See, Smell, Feel, Taste And Hear. Ephesians 3:16-19.

Living by God’s LOVED WORLD setting, is the ANSWER to the SPHERE and QUESTIONS of an EVIL WORLD, WICKED WORLD and HATE WORLD.

TAKING THE STOCK OF YOUR LIFE ON GOD’S WORD BY LOVE

By Leave a Comment

TAKING THE STOCK OF YOUR LIFE ON GOD’S WORD BY LOVE: AND LOVING TO DO GOD’S WORD BY LOVE AND NOT AS A BURDEN – THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN LIFE AND GRACE!

“By this we know that we LOVE the children of God, when we LOVE God and keep His commandments.  3 For this is the LOVE of God, that we KEEP His COMMANDMENTS. And His commandments are not BURDENSOME (GRIEVOUS, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER, TROUBLESOME, HARD, DIFFICULT)” 1 John 5:2-3/Emphasis Mine.

Do you always take stock on your obedience to God’s WORD? and do you DO God’s WORD in LOVE? And if Yea – that’s GREAT and COMMENDABLE. However, the essence of the questions or questioning it’s summed up in this, that by LOVING to DO and be DOING God’s WORD of commands in LOVE is a hallmark of doing the WORD effectually, efficiently, effortlessly, selflessly and without sweat and guilt; more so, considering always in principle, that God’s WORD is not GRIEVOUS, IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER, TROUBLESOME, HARD and DIFFICULT to practice when taken in a spirited and hearted act of LOVE approach. I can boldly say to you today, that, DOING God’s WORD by LOVE, makes all the difference in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

It must be noted that God is not a taskmaster, hence His COMMANDS are not an ADVICE, they are genuine, faithful, true, sure, real and empowering. He will always COMMEND what He COMMAND when it’s obediently taken and done in LOVE. And God’s intent it’s always for our good and to help and to give leverage to us in our godly living and doing life in all circumstances. And when LOVING by God’s WORD, life is liveable, loveable, reachable and enjoyable in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For I know the PLANS and THOUGHTS that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘PLANS for PEACE and WELL-BEING and NOT FOR DISASTER, to give you a FUTURE and a HOPE. 12 Then you will CALL on Me and you will come and PRAY to Me, and I will HEAR [your voice] and I will LISTEN to you” Jeremiah 29:11-12 Amplified.

A WILLING and OBEDIENT hearts of LOVE towards God’s WORD, it’s all it takes to eat the good out of the Kingdom. This is all possible:

** When LOVE and LOVING is not taken or done with a DUTY hearts as if God is a TASKMASTER.

** When you KNOW that God have not TASKED MASTERING you in LOVE to tempt you with an obligation He knows it’s impossible for you and any to do.

** When you understand that God is not out to see you FAIL in LOVE, in order that He might punish you to suit Himself well and good.

Therefore, by taking STOCK on God’s WORD in LOVE, and LOVING to DO God’s WORD by LOVE – should not be seen as a BURDEN – but as God’s avenue in grace for your good, knowing that it’s in the doing in love that – MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE – for an EFFECTUAL and EFFICIENT walk with God in doing LIFE and living GODLY in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

If God demands of your finance, time, talent/skill, and whatever to be given of you for His Kingdom cause and to keep the enemy at bay – it’s WORTH doing it in the LOVE for God and His work on earth rather than doing it as an obligation and duty in fear. Even in matters of NECESSITY as Apostle Paul would say in regards to the call of God upon His life – still do it in love and not in fear of bondage. For perfect love cast out fear PHOBIAS. Let God’s love rules and reigns supreme in your world as is in His world.

“Beloved, let us [unselfishly] LOVE and seek the best for one another, for LOVE is from God; and everyone who LOVES [others] is BORN of God and KNOWS God [through personal experience]. 8 The one who DOES NOT LOVE has not become ACQUAINTED with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is LOVE. [He is the ORIGINATOR of love, and it is an enduring attribute of His nature.] . . . 17 In this [union and fellowship with Him], LOVE is completed and perfected with us, so that we may have CONFIDENCE in the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him]; because as He is, so ARE WE in this world. 18 There is NO FEAR IN LOVE [dread does not exist]. But PERFECT (complete, full-grown) LOVE DRIVES OUT FEAR, because FEAR involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God’s judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love]” 1 John 4:7-8, 17-18 Amplified.

“For though I PREACH the gospel, I have NOTHING to glory of: for NECESSITY is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I PREACH not the gospel! 17 For if I DO this thing WILLINGLY, I have a REWARD: but if AGAINST my will, a DISPENSATION of the GOSPEL is committed unto me” 1 Corinthians 9:16-17.

I PRAY that as you take STOCK in doing life and living godly, may you do it by God’s WORD by LOVE; and may you maintain consistency in the realm and sphere by LOVE, and be doing God’s WORD by LOVE – and not as a BURDEN – while making all the difference.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“By this we know that we LOVE the children of God, when we LOVE God and keep His commandments.  3 For this is the LOVE of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not BURDENSOME” 1 John 5:2-3.

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall eat the good of the land” Isaiah 1:19.

“There hath no TEMPTATION taken you but such as is common to man: but God is FAITHFUL, who will not SUFFER (ALLOW) you to be TEMPTED above that ye are able; but will with the TEMPTATION also MAKE A WAY TO ESCAPE, that ye may be ABLE to bear it” 1 Corinthians 10:13 (Emphasis Mine).

“Let no man SAY when he is TEMPTED, I am TEMPTED of God: for God CANNOT be TEMPTED with evil, neither TEMPTETH he any man: 14 but every man is TEMPTED, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed” James 1:13-14.

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, not SINCERELY, supposing to add AFFLICTION to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18 What then? NOTWITHSTANDING, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do REJOICE, yea, and will REJOICE” Philippians 1:15-18.

“Though I SPEAK WITH THE TONGUES of MEN and of ANGELS, but HAVE NOT LOVE, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the GIFT OF PROPHECY, and UNDERSTAND ALL MYSTERIES and ALL KNOWLEDGE, and though I have ALL FAITH, so that I could remove mountains, but HAVE NOT LOVE, I am nothing. 3 And though I BESTOW ALL MY GOODS TO FEED THE POOR, and though I give my body to be burned, BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, IT PROFITS ME NOTHING . . .” 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 NKJV.

“LOVE has been PERFECTED among us in this: that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment; BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is NO FEAR IN LOVE; but PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR, because FEAR involves TORMENT. But he who FEARS has not been MADE PERFECT IN LOVE” 1 John 4:17-18.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because THE LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . .But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8.
