Eph 1:7, Romans 12:2, 2 Cor 3:18
Continued from page 1
It is the commission of ALL to be tenderhearted, forgiving, to prefer one another above ourselves. To follow the example of Christ the supreme model. To serve all and to become the 'least', we are to submit ourselves one to another and to live our lives in constant sacrifice for each other.
To fight cultures birthed thousands of years ago, to wage war against hearts of stone and to plead our cause to deaf ears is truly to fight a war that cannot be won.
It is the presence and completeness of God living in man that changes man. It is the acceptance of His being in our hearts that forever transforms a human being into His image and gives him the ability to carry out and walk in His truth.
His ways are just and kind, full of mercy, empowering and releasing.
For man to hold God in his heart is for him to walk in a truth that gives freedom....freedom to all.
"He is so rich in kindness and grace that He purchased our freedom with the blood of His son and forgave our sins. He has showered His kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding." Eph 1:7
"Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think, then you will learn to know God's will for you which is good and pleasing and perfect." Romans 12:2
"So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord-who is the Spirit-makes us more and more like Him as we are changed into His glorious image." 2 Cor 3:18
