The FAITH That WORKS: OPERATES In LOVE! 

“For [if we ARE] in Christ Jesus NEITHER circumcision NOR uncircumcision means anything, but only FAITH ACTIVATED and EXPRESSED and WORKING THROUGH LOVE . . . 13 For you, my brothers, were CALLED to FREEDOM; only do not let your FREEDOM become an opportunity for the sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness), but THROUGH LOVE SERVE and SEEK the best for one another” Galatians 5:6, 13/Amplified. 

The FAITH that WORKS is found in them that LOVES God. Do you LOVE God? The reason being this: ALL THINGS will always WORK for those who LOVES God as they walk in the Kingdom Cause of God’s PURPOSE for them. Meaning, they are addicted to walk in OBEDIENCE to God’s WORD to win life battles through FAITH (1John 5:3-5). FOR GOD WILL ALWAYS COMMEND WHAT HE COMMAND. 

For FAITH works by LOVE. Until LOVE is enthroned in our hearts, in our day-to-day dealings with God and others, in RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP – there will always be a struggle in attaining to the FREEDOM we seek. 

For LOVE is the summation of the LAW, and it’s unparalleled to the bondages of bye laws, traditions, oblations, creeds and dogmas of man-made enclaves to reach or please God in Christ Jesus. 

Therefore – SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by LOVE” Galatians 5:6. 

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK together for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are THE CALLED according to his PURPOSE” Romans 8:28. 

“Owe no man any thing, but to LOVE one another: FOR HE THAT LOVETH ANOTHER HATH FULFILLED THE LAW. 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 LOVE worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore LOVE is the FULFILLING OF THE LAW” Romans 13:8-10. 

“For God so LOVED the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16. 

“Now the end of the commandment is CHARITY (LOVE) out of a PURE heart, and of a GOOD conscience, and of FAITH unfeigned” 1 Timothy 1:5. 

“This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 Greater LOVE hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” John 15:12-14. 

“Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having LOVED his own which were in the world, he LOVED them unto the end . . . 34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also LOVE one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:1, 34-35. 

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we keep his COMMANDMENTS: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS (BURDENSOME TASKMASTER IRKSOME)” 1 John 5:3. 

“And he answering said, Thou shalt LOVE the Lord thy God with all thy HEART, and with all thy SOUL, and with all thy STRENGTH, and with all thy MIND; and thy NEIGHBOUR as thyself” Luke 10:27.

MAKE YOUR FAITH WORK FOR YOUR GOOD: BY ABOUNDING IN FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE!

MAKE YOUR FAITH WORK FOR YOUR GOOD: BY ABOUNDING IN FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE! 

“But let us, who are of the day, be sober, PUTTING ON THE BREASTPLATE of FAITH and LOVE; and for AN HELMET, the HOPE of salvation” 1 Thessalonians 5:8. 

May your ENDEAVOURS to abound in FAITH, HOPE and LOVE, glow, be inflame and ablaze by the WORKING of your FAITH and may in all, your LABOUR of LOVE and PATIENCE in HOPE account for your good and goodness in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK of FAITH, and LABOUR of LOVE, and PATIENCE of HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4. 

FAITH without WORKS is DEAD been ALONE. Faith not ACTIONED is dead indeed. Meaning, FAITH WORKING without the action of LOVE – which is the DEFAULT can’t function healthily and lacks VITALITY and the TENDER valued power with God. 

FAITH is acting correspondingly on what you believe on God’s word accordingly. So, the act of faith directly or indirectly in life and charitable causes are as authentic to and by God in His word, only through LOVE. 

It’s either your FAITH is WORKING as Scripturally enjoined by LOVE, or you are living by FATE and FAKE knowingly and or unknowingly. 

Therefore, set your priority with God right; for your FAITH to WORK the WORKS of life and grace EFFECTUALLY, for LOVE is INEVITABLE in every way. Meaning, in order to inflame and ablaze your FAITH to GLOW in grace and life, the default of LOVE must be ensured and be assured to be actively engaged; for love is the hub or fulcrum for productive cause of faith with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, BUT FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE” Galatians 5:6 (NKJV) 

“But wilt thou know, O vain man, that FAITH WITHOUT WORKS is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father JUSTIFIED BY WORKS, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 SEEST THOU HOW FAITH WROUGHT WITH HIS WORKS, AND BY WORKS WAS FAITH MADE PERFECT? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 YE SEE THEN HOW THAT BY WORKS A MAN IS JUSTIFIED, AND NOT BY FAITH ONLY. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, SO FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD ALSO” James 2:20-26.

THE FAITH THAT WORKS: IS FOUNDED, ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN THE LOVE OF CHRIST! 

“For [if we ARE] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only FAITH ACTIVATED and EXPRESSED and WORKING through LOVE” Galatians 5:6/Amplified. 

There’s no geographical location or situations that can stop or prevent your position and altitude in life when your FAITH WORKS BY LOVE.  

I know Faith as the mystery, the vital and legal currency and medium of exchange to access the heavens from the earth, and to give the heavenly permission in one’s earthly affairs. Yet you can only genuinely blossom, rejuvenate, thrive and colour your worlds anywhere and any day with God when your ‘FAITH WORKS BY LOVE’. Love is the only beautiful gift given to us by God that’s pure, to SERVE others without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. Simply because Love is the lubricant that makes and ensures FAITH for effective communication and enables us to be assured of being justified by faith and to have access by faith to our God in the grace. 

“For you, my brothers, were CALLED TO FREEDOM; only DO NOT LET YOUR FREEDOM become an OPPORTUNITY for the sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness), but through LOVE SERVE and SEEK the BEST for one another” Galatians 5:13/Amplified. 

“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” Romans 12:9-10/Amplified. 

“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 [LAVISHED] abroad in our HEARTS [SPIRIT-BEING] 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 5:1-2. 

Be it in person and general relationship, family, ministry, charitable causes, career, business, marital relationship and governance, the FAITH THAT WORKS BY LOVE is inevitable, indescribable and inescapable for any that desire to THRIVE and not be a SURVIVAL. For love is the ultimate, hallmark, hub, fulcrum, the most and more excellent way to express spiritual grace and endowment in Life and GODLINESS with God in Christ Jesus stead. Hence, expressing ‘THE FAITH THAT WORKS BY LOVE’, you can thrive and blossom in any weather of life: WINTER, AUTUMN, SPRING OR SUMMER. 

“The earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and day and night shall not cease” Genesis 8:22. 

This I saw in God through Christ, that’s why I am assured and now recommend it to you and for you. I have come to know and understand today more than ever before of the graciousness and gracefulness and speed in motion when one exercise and express life through ‘THE FAITH THAT WORKS BY LOVE’ in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. 

SELAH-PAUSE AND THINK.

“While the earth remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and day and night shall not cease” Genesis 8:22. 

“But covet EARNESTLY the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a MORE EXCELLENT WAY . . . “ 1 Corinthians 12:31/1 Corinthians 13:1-13. 

“A NEW COMMANDMENT I give unto you, That ye LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also LOVE one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:34-35. 

“Greater LOVE hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I COMMAND you” John 15:13-14. 

“Let LOVE BE WITHOUT DISSIMULATION. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with BROTHERLY LOVE; in honour preferring one another; 11 not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 13 distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality” Romans 12:9-12.

“Let LOVE be without HYPOCRISY.

Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. 17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 19. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing, you will heap coals of fire on his head.” 21. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” Romans 12:9-21. NKJV. 

“If thine ENEMY be hungry, GIVE him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, GIVE him water to drink: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22. 

“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, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” Matthew 5:43-48.

THE FAITH THAT WORKS: IT’S FOUND IN THEM THAT LOVES GOD AND HIS WORD!

By Leave a Comment

THE FAITH THAT WORKS: IT’S FOUND IN THEM THAT LOVES GOD AND HIS WORD!

 “If ye ABIDE in me, and my WORDS ABIDE in you, ye shall ASK what ye WILL, and it shall be DONE unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: CONTINUE YE IN MY LOVE. 10 If ye KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, ye shall ABIDE IN MY LOVE; even as I have KEPT MY FATHER’S COMMANDMENTS, and ABIDE IN HIS LOVE” John 15:7-10.

There’s the need to abide in God. And abiding in God is abiding in His Word and in His love. Thus indicating that there’s no way one can say I am of God and or I am in God, while doing despite to God’s word and or God’s love. It’s not a matter of ‘either’ this and ‘or’ this, and ‘if’ this and ‘but’ these choices. Abiding in God is in abiding in Christ Jesus stead. And it’s to rooted and grounded in His love without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. And it’s in this spirit of ABIDING that our PRAYERS are heard when we ask and answered [done] in the grace in the will of God; thus, indicating much of the will of God is in ABIDING in His LOVE and His WORD to ABIDE in Him effortlessly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“That Christ may DWELL in your hearts [spirit-being] by FAITH; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED in LOVE, 18 may be able to COMPREHEND with all saints what is the BREADTH, and LENGTH, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 and to Know The Love Of Christ, which PASSETH [TRANSCENDS, SURPASSES] knowledge [HUMAN SENSE], that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19/Emphasis Mine.

And to ensure God’s abiding essence to His Word and His Love, He assures that all things will always WORK together for good, for those who LOVES Him as they walk in the cause of His WORD, in His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for them [Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11-12]. Meaning, walking in God’s intended Plan, Purpose and Pursuit is walking in His WORD and His Love, in context and perspective.

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK together for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE” Romans 8:28.

“In whom also we have OBTAINED an INHERITANCE, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of Him who WORKETH ALL THINGS after the COUNSEL of his own WILL: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:11-12.

Loving God is loving His WORD in Christ Jesus. When we love God’s Word we generate a living FAITH because Faith comes by the Word of God. And by that Faith we can win victorious and overcome the opposing world and system that tends to hold us back. And God’s WORD is not GRIEVOUS [IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER, AND DIFFICULT]. And Loving God’s WORD is welcoming the ever-present author the Blessed Holy Spirit, who is ever present to give understanding and wisdom.

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS [IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER, AND DIFFICULT]. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5/Emphasis Mine.

“So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by THE WORD of God” John 10:17.

Loving God and His Word is giving yourself an opportunity to receive the direct revelation of the Holy Spirit to matters of yours without distortion and adulteration of any intermediary and interference of any man who tends to pose as mini-God to affect your life from the truth. For with God are things about you that no ears have heard, no eyes have seen nor have it entered into any man’s heart concerning you [Psalms 32:14; Amos 3:7; Deuteronomy 29:29]. And God wants to fellowship with you by the Holy Spirit to make them possible as you open your being to love Him and His word. It’s not a matter of either, you have to love Him and His word.

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that LOVE Him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10/[Psalms 25:14; Amos 3:7; Deuteronomy 29:29].

Therefore, the FAITH THAT WORKS is found in those who WALK in God’s LOVE and keep to His WORD [COMMANDMENTS] in Love. Just as LOVE lubricates FAITH, the WORD sustains and keeps LOVE alive. For God will only COMMEND what He COMMAND, meaning God will honour those who walk according to His WORD – revealed and affirmed by the written WORD.

WISDOM NUGGETS – TO MAKE YOUR FAITH WORK FOR YOUR GOOD

WISDOM NUGGETS – TO MAKE YOUR FAITH WORK FOR YOUR GOOD: IT’S A PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT SOMEONE’S ELSE’S!

“ENDEAVOURING to KEEP the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” Ephesians 4:3.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38].

I herein reminds you to make your FAITH work out for your good and goodness, for it’s a personal responsibility and not someone’s else’s. You need to have a pragmatic resolved and to intentionally set out your personal scriptural effort, with the assurance to ensure that you make the necessary endeavours, to inflame and ablaze your faith, in order to make you glow in life and grace irrespective. For your faith will definitely define your today and tomorrow – knowingly and unknowingly.

FAITH without WORKS is DEAD been ALONE. Faith not ACTIONED is dead indeed.  Meaning FAITH WORKING without the action of LOVE – which is the DEFAULT can’t function healthily and lacks VITALITY and the TENDER valued power with God.

FAITH is acting correspondingly on what you believe on God’s word accordingly. So the act of faith directly or indirectly in life and charitable causes are as authentic to and by God in His word, only through LOVE.

It’s either your FAITH is WORKING as Scripturally enjoined by LOVE, or you are living by FATE and FAKE knowingly and or unknowingly.

Therefore, set your priority with God right; for your FAITH to WORK the WORKS of life and grace EFFECTUALLY, LOVE is INEVITABLE in everyway. Meaning, in order to inflame and ablaze your FAITH to GLOW in grace and life, the default of LOVE must be ensured to be actively engaged.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“ENDEAVOURING to KEEP the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” Ephesians 4:3.

“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, BUT FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE” Galatians 5:6 (NKJV)

“But wilt thou know, O vain man, that FAITH WITHOUT WORKS is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father JUSTIFIED BY WORKS, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 SEEST THOU HOW FAITH WROUGHT WITH HIS WORKS, AND BY WORKS WAS FAITH MADE PERFECT? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 YE SEE THEN HOW THAT BY WORKS A MAN IS JUSTIFIED, AND NOT BY FAITH ONLY. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, SO FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD ALSO” James 2:20-26.

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders OBTAINED A GOOD REPORT. 3 Through FAITH we UNDERSTAND that THE WORLDS WERE FRAMED BY THE WORD of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE Him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6.

“For I say, through THE GRACE GIVEN unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“But unto EVERY ONE of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38].

“For WHATSOEVER IS BORN of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is THE VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

“But what saith it? The Word is nigh thee, even in THY MOUTH, and in THY HEART: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto SALVATION . . . 17  So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.

THE FAITH THAT WORKS: IT’S ONLY EXPRESSED BY ABIDING IN GOD’S LOVE THROUGH HIS WORD!

Do you want your Faith in God to be activated, expressed and working for your good in every way and everywhere daily? The ‘FAITH THAT WORKS’ is only functional, effectual and productive as it ABIDES in God’s Love in Christ Jesus. And ABIDING in God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus, is in ABIDING and ABOUNDING in THE WORD!

Have you ever wondered to listen when someone says I am in LOVE, while such a personal is not ABIDING and ABOUNDING in THE WORD?

I am not sure you need an engineering degree or background to know that driving a keyless or a keying vehicle requires obeying the principles or rules by the manufacturer of such vehicle if you must enjoy and pleasure in it and stay safe within the warranty or and in the guarantee of a safe drive as in many other sciences of life.

In the same scenario for one to enjoy the unlimited warranty of grace in abounding Love, you MUST as a matter of principle ABIDE in the WORD. That’s what the MANUFACTURER of the human life demands. It makes one’s Faith Works with ease and grace.

Genuine LOVE is not cheap and it’s of the Holy Spirit in human spirit. Faith on His WORD to enhance and engraft His LOVE in your being ensures you a winner any day and anywhere.

Do you want a healthy and continuous flow of God’s LOVE with His unlimited, assured and insured warranty or guarantee? Then stay on and ABIDE in the WORD. This will cause your FAITH to Work for your good I earnestly assure and guarantee you in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“If ye ABIDE in me, and my WORDS abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall ABIDE in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and ABIDE in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your JOY MIGHT BE FULL” (John 15:7-11)

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we KEEP his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous (Burdensome, irksome, taskmaster)” 1 John 5:3 (Emphasis Mine).

“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE” Galatians 5:6 -NKJV.

THE FAITH THAT WORKS: IS FOUNDED, ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN THE LOVE OF CHRIST!

THE FAITH THAT WORKS: IS FOUNDED, ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN THE LOVE OF CHRIST!

“For [if we ARE] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only FAITH ACTIVATED and EXPRESSED and WORKING through LOVE” Galatians 5:6/Amplified.

There’s no geographical location and situations that can stop, prevent your position and altitude in life when your FAITH WORKS BY LOVE.

I do know Faith as the mystery, the vital and legal currency and medium of exchange to access the heavens from the earth, and to give the heavenly the permission in one’s earthly affairs. Yet, you can only genuinely blossom, rejuvenate, thrive and colour your worlds anywhere and anyday with God when your ‘FAITH WORKS BY LOVE’. Love is the only beautiful gift given to us by God that’s pure, to serve others without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. Simply because Love is the lubricant that makes and ensures FAITH for effective communication, and enables us to be assured of being justified by faith and to have access by faith to our God in the grace.

“For you, my brothers, were CALLED TO FREEDOM; only DO NOT LET YOUR FREEDOM become an OPPORTUNITY for the sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness), but through LOVE SERVE and SEEK the BEST for one another” Galatians 5:13/Amplified.

“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” Romans 12:9-10/Amplified.

“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.

Be it in person and general relationship, family, ministry, charitable causes, career, business, marital relationship and governance, the FAITH THAT WORKS BY LOVE is inevitable, indescribable and inescapable for any that desire to THRIVE and not be a SURVIVAL. For love is the ultimate, hallmark, hub, fulcrum, the most and more excellent way to express spiritual grace and endowment in Life and GODLINESS with God in Christ Jesus stead. Hence, expressing ‘THE FAITH THAT WORKS BY LOVE’, you can thrive and blossom in any weather of life: WINTER, AUTUMN, SPRING OR SUMMER.

“The earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and day and night shall not cease” Genesis 8:22.

This I saw in God through Christ, that’s why I am assured and now recommend it to you and for you. I have come to know and understand today more than ever before of the graciousness and gracefulness and speed in motion when one exercise and express life through ‘The Faith That Works By Love’ in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

SELAH-PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE” Galatians 5:6.

“While the earth remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and day and night shall not cease” Genesis 8:22.

“But covet EARNESTLY the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a MORE EXCELLENT WAY . . . ” 1 Corinthians 12:31/1 Corinthians 13:1-13.

“A NEW COMMANDMENT I give unto you, That ye LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also LOVE one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:34-35.

“Greater LOVE hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I COMMAND you” John 15:13-14.

“Let LOVE BE WITHOUT DISSIMULATION. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with BROTHERLY LOVE; in honour preferring one another; 11 not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 13 distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality” Romans 12:9-12.
