Obedience
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:20 KJV
God First Loved Us
As believers we have come to know God’s love, and because we know His love for us we choose to obey Him in response.
By choosing to obey His word, we then come to appreciate the veracity of His words by experiencing the outcome of our obedience.
It is Father validating His word in, and through, us so we grow in faith and love due to God’s grace, who first loved us.
Perfect Justice & Mercy
By experiencing His mercy in Christ Jesus, we come to know the righteousness of divine Justice.
If God’s Justice was not infinite and perfect we could not have been forgiven through the Faith of Christ, and the power of His sinless Blood.
His Grace: His Peace
We discover the reality of His Grace by the spiritual peace in our hearts, as we trust in the finished sacrifice of God’s Only Begotten Son in our stead.
Divine Severity
Since we have come to know that He was stricken for our transgressions, and bore our infirmities & sicknesses, we become aware of the severity of divine Judgment, and the dreadful penalty of sin.
He has shown us His Love, and by the grace of God we pray that we may never come to experience the severity of His wrath against sin. So we endeavour to please Him in everything.
As He Is: So Are We
Because we revere our Heavenly Father, we learn to walk in holiness in the light of God’s written and rhema’d word to us, and fix our attention on our Living Saviour: The LORD Jesus Christ.
Your Daily Cross
As we stay in step with His leading in our hearts we experience the reality of our death in Him on the cross, and the resurrection power of His Life coursing through our spirit bringing to pass the will of Heaven on Earth: It seems so natural yet it is God’s supernatural power in our flesh on Earth today.
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:20 KJV
There’s No Greater Joy this side of Glory.
Let’s share this Good Stuff with the world
