The School of KINGDOM Living Part 16

JESUS IS THE HOPE of GLORY FULFILLED IN CHRIST

Jesus is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE, and we RECEIVE HIS life AS we live in and from the Father’s heart of love. Yes, we can RECEIVE the FULL LIFE of CHRIST, walking as He walked.

"Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." John 14:6

Jesus paid the price so that the Father’s love can abide in us and we in Him, and so that we CAN WALK IN LOVE. Can you picture the FULLNESS of HIS LOVE working in you AND EVERYONE else at the same time?

"For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body." 1 Corinthians 6:20

Our motive in our NEW LIFE is to SHINE His Glory, and WHEN WE GET SQUEEZED by LIFE, the LOVE OF GOD comes out. WHEN ADVERSITY COMES, do we display the LOVE of GOD, or flesh, frustration, complaining, and even DEATH? Let's hope not; if so, GET TRANSFORMED BY HIS LOVE!

"Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." Matthew 5:16

We are FULL, so LIVE FULL. God gets HIS GREAT PLEASURE to see us WALK IN what Jesus PAID FOR. Our Father's greatest pleasure is to SEE US REIGN IN HIS KINGDOM!

"and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God." Ephesians 3:19

JESUS gave us His Kingdom and everything in it. WE HAVE EVERYTHING CHRIST HAS, and HE wants us to abide and walk in this truth by FAITH as it works out through LOVE. LOVE is everything, without it, there is NOTHING.

"For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace." John 1:16

"Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life." Romans 6:4

Because of Jesus, I am owed nothing BUT I OWE LOVE EVERYWHERE I GO. How cool is that? We get to SHINE GOD'S LOVE THROUGH OUR LIFE EXPERIENCE. I live to LOVE and to SHINE God’s LIGHT regardless of my circumstances, especially when persecuted and oppressed by the enemy. WHEN SQUEEZED, I want JESUS TO COME OUT!

"until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ." Ephesians 4:13

"For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end." Hebrews 3:14

We are not to be self-conscious about anything, but we are to KNOW Jesus, the CHRIST, and Him CRUCIFIED. We have the FULL COMMUNION with God through CHRIST. 

"and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me. In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me. For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.”
1 Corinthians 11:24-26

We have the love of God, the love of Christ, and the love of the HOLY SPIRIT - Love that goes beyond our thinking and understanding.

"Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen." Ephesians 3:20-21

We are filled up to the fullness of God. That's what the Bible declares in many different places throughout the Holy Scriptures

"I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ."
Romans 15:29

We don’t go to church to learn wisdom or doctrine; we go to love others so they are transformed by love.

"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God." 1 John 4:7

We become intimate with God through Faith in Christ so that He can transform us so that we can be THE expression of Him on Earth.

"who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself." Philippians 3:31

We are ONE WITH THE FATHER because it was and is HIS GOAL, and Jesus did all the work; it is finished. RECEIVE IT and REJOICE. Share with everyone!
