In The Passion Bible Ephesians 1:7 says "Since we are now joined to Christ, we have been given the treasures of redemption by his blood--the total cancellation of our sins--all because of the cascading riches of his grace." Wow, now that's freedom! The kind of freedom that comes through submission not through power. The kind of freedom that comes through surrender not control, not by what you keep but through your giving away! God is seeking sons not slaves, not motivated by law but by LOVE. He has set us free from our own guilt and our own legalism. We have been forgiven by the only one who could condemn us and totally set us free! OH, the riches of His grace that saturates and immerses us fully!
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!!!
