Absolute

So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.  Colossians 3:12-14 NASB

The depth of His magnifying love …… we cannot truly comprehend ….. to be allowed a glimpse of God’s vastness all the while knowing by Holy Spirit’s revelation that we are each created, pieced together and then further reminded that He is THE creator….. that God loves each and every every every person, whether we see them or not, whether we like them or not, whether they are in our lives or removed, those who’ve passed before us and those not yet born onto His earth….

Each of us, God’s created, our neighbor who is in a different income bracket, our coworkers who hold different political beliefs, our family members whose lifestyles we don’t agree with . . . We are not so different from each other.  We are born, we live a life, we pass on. Every generation before us, all of humanity alive today, tomorrow, all are the people Jesus Christ came for, died for, and calls home to Him. 

They’re not our enemies! We are not their enemy. Let’s erase the fear lines satan draws in the sand, reach across the fence with an outstretched hand, and share the good news of Jesus Christ, because He commands it! Not only that but fear death is erased - conquered - when we accept the hand of Jesus He so freely offers - 

Romans 6:8-11 NASB Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Jesus prayed, that all believers might be as one body, reconciled to God by union with Jesus and through Holy Spirit dwelling within.

Did you catch that? By the power and presence of Holy Spirit in us, we can have harmony with God and one another. Our common faith in Christ unites us as family, and Holy Spirit in us unites us as one body under the kingship of Jesus. HALLELUJAH!

Thus, we can work FEARLESS together for the good of mankind, we can put aside the need for getting things done our way-  we can be an undivided community, God’s church! on His mission! 

He is our hope for life eternal. Saved by Faith in Jesus Christ, salvation for those who acknowledge Jesus as the risen Saviour. 

And anyone who believes in Him, though he dies, will live. 

The consequence of sin is death. Jesus took care of both sin and death. God created us, human beings, to never die. To have beautiful, absolute, unbroken relationship with Him. But we decided against it and sinned against Him. Sin entered the world, and death followed closely. 

Jesus came, He chose to die, to take our sins upon Himself.  And on the third day, when He rose again, He became our Savior to save us from the wrath of God.  There will come a time when we will die biologically but if we believe in Him, our perspective of death is much different.  We will not fear death because we know our eternal home awaits.
