Ephesians 1:4 in The Passion Translation states ..."And He chose us to be His very own, joining us to Himself even before He laid the foundation of the universe! Because of His great love, He ordained us, so we would be seen as holy in His eyes with an unstained innocence." God found us in Christ before He lost us in Adam! When you know who you are by having an intimate love relationship with God, you have nothing to fear! Our part is to discover who we really are... which are sons and walking in the freedom of that glory! If our thinking does not line up with His, we need to have our thinking renewed. He doesn't want us to learn to love...He wants us to become love! As mature sons we will have an internal desire to become sons who are just like our loving Dad! Amen.
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!!!
