AND NOW ABIDE FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE, THESE THREE BUT THE
GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE...... 1 CORINTHIANS 13:13
.......SELAH! |
"THESE THREE"
(abide but do you abide in them?) |
|
If you read a book about Italy, it may
give you a quick fizz and a little knowledge about the place itself but
nothing can begin to compare with living there, you must agree. Even so, it
is no different with our walk with God-Jesus the Christ......click.
Faith, hope and love abide, live and are staring us all in the face
but these places, realms, spheres are of no benefit to us until we abide in
them.. And when we decide to abide, live, in these spheres we will then have
no need to buy books that talk about such places, spheres. All because we
ourselves will be there and reaping the beauty, peace, joy, power, strength
and security of these wonderful places made available by the grace of
almighty God-Yahweh. Thank you Jesus......click
One thing must not be forgotten and it is that the faith, hope and
love must be and can only ever be in the only wise God - Almighty God -
Yahweh - Jesus the Christ. Otherwise it will, be in vain, it will not be lasting, able to sustain
you or save your soul from hell.
The joy will not be unspeakable, the peace will not pass by (overtake) the
understanding of the mind, the power will be limited, the strength will be
finite, the beauty will be full of flaws and the security will be
insufficient to uphold you in troubled times. You will end up taking on
the basic principles of the world in order to uphold your church, ministry,
calling.
Faith, hope and love abide/live, right now but it is our decision to trust
in, hope in and obey/love Jesus the Christ and when we do we will always
reap of the action of abiding in that which already abides, lives....click.
When we abide in faith, hope and love we will never want to or need to buy a
singular, solitary book about faith, hope or love ever again all because you
will know these three personally and be reaping of these three and be walking in these
three. And when you talk with people who have read books about these three
but know not these three personally you will know straight away. They will
say they are faith people but have price tags on all things, they will say
they hope in God while still arming themselves with bodyguards and guard
dogs. They will say they love Jesus while living contrary to his
(holy teachings) doctrine........click!......click!......click!
Church people who know and have faith, hope and love do not peddle-sell, go
about the world selling God's Word, neither are they afraid to expose those
who say Godliness is a means of gain/profit.......click.
When we trust, hope in and obey God-Jesus the Christ, Father is well pleased.
Trust and obey for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus, except to
trust and obey.....Amen?...click.
And now abide faith, hope and love and the greatest of these is love
all because you can do no greater thing than obey-love God. King Solomon
said the very same thing....."Man's All"......Ecclesiastes 12:13, ...Click...Click.....Selah!....Amen.
