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.

The Emphatic Believer...

Being sure of ones salvation is always sound practice as we learn to practice our faith in a dying world. Practice they say makes perfect and being perfected in holiness is what we are to practice daily, weekly, monthly and yearly.

How we practice makes as much of a difference as to what we believe…

Understanding how to or even what to practice in demonstrating our faith is important to accomplishing through God’s infinite grace the perfecting the Bible talks about, consider Matthew 5:43-48.

Love for Enemies

43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'

44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?

47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?

48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

WHO IS YOUR ENEMY?

Is it the church down the street that you are competing with for spiritual supremacy of your neighborhood?

Is it the factions within your church that you compete with for supremacy of who gets to be THE ONE or ONES that comes up with and implements all the cool and or newest outreach or ministry ideas?

Is it your family or circle of friends or certain persons within your family or circle of friends?

WHO IS YOUR PERSECUTOR?

Is it the people from the 33,000 other christian denominations that exist in this wacky world?

Is it the people in your very own chosen church?

Members of the church against non-members or adherents?

Is it family members or friends maybe co-workers that persecute you because of your belief?

No matter who your enemies and persecutors are the biblical response is to show love which can be acquainted to actual holiness. Love and holiness go together like hate and death are to sin.

For us to defeat the hate responses or anger we feel at being persecuted or hated by others. then we cannot rely on our own understanding alone, but the understanding of God as promised in the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (see Acts 2:38,39). If we are to overcome hate and persecution in our domestic, personal, spiritual and working lives we need to trust God's promises to be true and already fulfilled through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the redemption of our sins.

We also need to admit that none of us are perfect see; ADVERTISING OUR IMPERFECTIONS, also consider what the bible says about us Romans 3;9-20

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.
