PERFECTION...

What do you see when you hear this word "perfect" or what do imagine when you see this word "perfection"?

We as Christians believers in Jesus Christ the Son of God who with; finality, did give His life for us. So that we may have life and have it more abundantly. As believers our core understanding is that Christ became the propitiation of all mens sins. Which is; He took our place upon the cross He died so we might live, and live more abundantly than before.

Before what?

Before, when we did not know Christ or know his voice. Before we understood that through the act of repentance and the gift of FAITH from God so that none could boast that they are better than any other believer anywhere. We may also understand that we are truly being perfected in Love so that we may shed the world and its ways of judgement and competition. That we may stand up and say with conviction, "Today is a good day to die". Because we live without regret.

I imagine that love is the key ingredient in the getting to go to heaven that when upon that final day we stand before Christ to be judged. And he finds us not wanting because we are full of the Love that he has for us and every person you can see. We are perfected in His Love we took the time to work everyday towards that perfection by not concentrating on others shortcomings. No not others, but our own-selves did we work on. We corrected our own behaviours and lead NOT by word, but by deed, by example.

We learned that loving our immediate family was important and we practiced making every single one of them more important than our own selves. For how could we love others if we did not love our own families? We encouraged each other with love as the motivating factor and gave until it hurt. But give we did each and everyday. And we saw some of our own brethren join us in our journey of being perfected in Love through Jesus Christ the Son of God. And God was pleased and the heavens rejoiced at our effort and perhaps one day we may stand before Christ perfected in the Love He has for all mankind and He will say enter into my rest you faithful servant.

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

Me, Myself and I...

What is the one thing in this world that you truly have control of?

Is it your destiny?

Is it your path, your way?

OR

Is it simply yourself?

2 CORINTHIANS 13:5 (Amplified Bible) says;

Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it. Test and prove yourselves [not Christ]. Do you not yourselves realize and know [thoroughly by an ever-increasing experience] that Jesus Christ is in you--unless you are [counterfeits] disapproved on trial and rejected?

The bible talks a lot about this topic, about false prophets, counterfeit believers, false teaching and simple deception as a way to cheat you of your prize.

What is the prize of the true believer of Jesus Christ?

Is it the promise of heaven?

Is it a good life?

Is it satisfaction that your works met your beliefs?

OR

Is it simply, the true ability to love beyond the worldly trappings of the word love?

Consider 2 PETER 1:3-11 (New King James Version)

As His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.

For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Notice that this text assumes we have faith as the base of what we are to build upon. Giving all diligence add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.

With the end result being love is this not the path of the true believer in Jesus Christ?

Should we forget man made concepts that threaten only to control through fear?

Should we abandon them for the path of true love demonstrated by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, when He gave His life for ours at the cross?

Martin Luther King Jr. said;

I submit to you that if a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.


May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

Persevering in the Truth...

What do you believe about Jesus Christ the Messiah (Saviour) of the world?

Did Jesus come to invent a new religion or is the current denominational system an off-shoot of the Roman Catholic Religion that adopted Jesus into their religion?

Who's right, who's wrong?

Does it matter?

Well I guess the answer to these probing questions depends on what you believe about your Jesus. If you think in denominational terms and have misplaced loyalty to a denomination. Then chances are; you are a religious person pushing your party's mandate blindly and unquestionable.

The fact is that Jesus was irreligious he was vehemently against the religious system of His time and let those practicing it know in no uncertain terms that He disapproved. We are here to demonstrate God's love and without unity it will never happen. I'll say that again loudly.

WE ARE HERE TO DEMONSTRATE GOD'S LOVE AND WITHOUT UNITY IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN...

"Denominational Divergence" is sin and a stumbling block for the would be believer as Jesus said about the religious leaders of his time, I repeat now to those that push religion over truth;

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.

"Woe to you, blind guides! You say, 'If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.'

You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?

You also say, 'If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath.'

You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?

Therefore, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.

And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it.

And he who swears by heaven swears by God's throne and by the one who sits on it.

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

Following Through...

What happens when 90% of Christians fail to share their faith with another through their whole lifetime? See; Facts and Fiction...

Why do so-called Christians fail to share their faith with others?

I'm going to quote an atheist here by the name of Penn Jillette (Penn and Teller fame) this man is so committed to atheism that he crosses out the "In God we trust" on every American dollar bill he touches. But consider what he says about the sorry state of Christianity;

"If you believe that there's a heaven and hell, and people could be going to hell, or not getting eternal life, or whatever, and you think that, Well it's not really worth telling them this because it would be socially awkward... How much do you have to hate somebody to believe that everlasting life is possible and not tell them about it?

I mean if I believed beyond a shadow of a doubt that a truck was coming at you, and you didn’t believe it, and that truck was bearing down on you, there is a certain point where I tackle you—and this is more important than that."

Wow that's from a person that doesn't believe in God or the bible or Jesus or the message of eternal life but it seems he understands the concept of the Christian experience. So if an atheist can understand what the Christian experience is about; What is wrong with the 90% of Christians that fail to share their faith with others?

Could they not be Christian at all?

Are they the tares that Jesus Christ talks about in Matthew 13: 24-30?

What can we do to change the reality of this and follow through spreading the gospel as it was spread to us?

As Christians are we not supposed to evangelize the world starting within our own families, friends, acquaintances, neighborhoods, cities, towns, states/provinces, countries and beyond?

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
