I just read this and its made me think , YES!! TRUTH !!
If everyone could just realize ''the power of Love ''
and not the love of power !
CHRIST IS THE LOVE OF GOD
Eph 3 ;19...18may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
19and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge,
that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.
20Now 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
Love God first so the Love of God will flow to others from within and many will know the Love of God though the Christ Spirit within you
powerful stuff !!
I always wondered when the power was to Change ! Its His love /Spirit within you !!
I just Thank the Father for this mercy and powerful message today !!
Oh and the other one this sounds so self righteous . Its Jesus who saves any of us . and the scriptures used for this defense
Biblical warning ,, no sugar coating the Bible , sugar coated preaching is dangerous to your soul :dontknow:
2 Timothy 4 ;3.4
I ·give you a command [solemnly charge you] in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, the One who will judge the living and the dead, and by his ·coming [appearing] and his kingdom:
2 Preach the ·Good News [Gospel]. Be ready ·at all times [whether it is convenient or inconvenient; in season or out of season], and ·tell people what they need to do [correct; reprove]. ·
Tell them when they are wrong [Rebuke]. ·Encourage [Comfort; Exhort] them with ·great patience and careful teaching [L all patience and teaching],
3 because the time will come when people will not ·listen to [put up with; endure] the ·true [sound; healthy] teaching but will ·find many more [gather around themselves; accumulate] teachers who ·please them [meet their needs/desires] by saying the things ·they want to hear [their ears itch for]
4 They will ·stop listening to [L turn their ears/hearing away from] the truth and will ·begin to follow [wander/turn aside to] ·false stories [myths].
5 But you should ·control yourself [be sober-minded] at all times, ·accept troubles [endure hardships], do the work of ·telling the Good News [L an evangelist],
and ·complete all the duties of a servant of God [L fulfill your service/ministry].
