Everyone must be tempted to prove that we Love God with all heart and all our strength. Would you marry someone who pretend to love you just to get benefits from you. Or someone who is prepared to suffer for you.
God has always only had one people and it is His spiritual children, there is only one Bride and there was always only one Church Rom 9:6 Not all Israel is Israel - Israel is a pure heart and NOT a land. (One people and spiritual Israel) Jesus Himself shall establish her.
(Psalm 87:5) And of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one were born in her, And the Most High Himself shall establish her.

After God's people are saved, God desires for all believers to love God with all their heart, mind, soul and strength (Mark 12:30) and yield their lives to the indwelling Holy Spirit so that every believer has the power to overcome the evil in this world. In Romans 12:21 it is written:
ReplyDelete"Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good."
The Bride of Christ is an overcomer. There are two primary things that we overcome. First, the Bride of Christ overcomes the desires of the human flesh. Secondly, the Bride of Christ overcomes the ways and values of the world's system. Both the desires of the flesh and the ways of the world's system seek to dominate and control the lives of believers by imposing their values upon them. The evil force who is behind the desires of the flesh and the ways of the world is Satan.

ReplyDeleteThere is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love .
The body of Christ is not an institutional church, but separate people as living stones of the spiritual building. Imagine Bride of Christ, people who are all over the world. They are all living stones but they can not know each other all of them, yet they are all in the body of Christ. Some are to be out in the world and others inside the different groups, and some to work alone. Each part is lead by the holy spirit.
ReplyDeleteAnd whole body is kept alive by the blood of Christ. Amen !
