If you will listen obediently to what I say and keep My covenant, out of all peoples you'll be My special treasure. The whole earth is Mine to choose from, but you're special: a kingdom of priests, a holy nation. Exodus 19:5(The Message)....... The difference between a contract and a covenant is that the law binds both a contract and a covenant, but only the covenant is bound by love. The exchange we made with God is legally binding, but because of His love for us, we don't need to show Him the contract. Likewise, we have no need to be threatened by fear; instead let us be motivated with love!!! It is the right time now to do the right thing. He did not call us to be right...He called us to be kind!!!
Exodus 34:6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering , and abounding in goodness and truth... In this verse IS the disposition of Messiah. The early church used this important verse to judge prophecy and conduct in the church atmosphere. There were three elders who were in charge of hearing and deciding if what was said and done in that time was in the disposition of Messiah. In this very shaky and explosive time we are living in (exciting & wonderful time I might add) it would serve us well if we would write this verse on the tablet of our heart and in every circumstance, situation we find ourselves apply it rightly and justly. By doing this, we, as the body of Christ, will start looking like the "church" the public has never seen!!!
