GOD SPEAKS TO ME THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST, GOD REVEALS A PATTERN FOR SPIRITUAL LIVING IN CHRIST.
"WHO SHALL SEPERATE ME FROM THE LOVE OF CHRIST"?
OH THE FULLNESS OF PEACE AND JOY AND GLADNESS BECAUSE I AM CONVINCED THAT NOTHING "SHALL SEPARATE ME FROM THE LOVE OF GOD WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS MY LORD" (Rom.8:35,39)
I SHALL PURSUE THIS IDEA FOR ALL IT IS WORTH. GOD DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN LOVE TOWARD ME, IN THAT WHILE I WAS STILL A SINNER, CHRIST DIED FOR ME.(Rom.5:8)
THIS IS THE NATURE OF GOD'S LOVE. THE LOVE OF GOD IS DIFFERENT FROM THE LOVE OF EVERYONE ELSE. IT IS NOT THE LOVE OF A FATHER OR MOTHER, OR A WIFE OR A LOVER. IT IS OF SUCH A PECULIAR STAMP THAT IT HAS TO BE DEMONSTRATED TO ME. THE FOUNDATION OF GOD'S LOVE IS HOLINESS. GOD'S LOVE THEN MUST BE THE JUSTIFICATION OF HIS HOLINESS. MY DEFINITION OF LOVE - LOVE IS THE SOVEREIGN PREFERENCE OF MY PERSON FOR ANOTHER PERSON, EMBRACING EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING IN THAT PREFERENCE. GOD'S NATURE IS HOLY, GOD'S LOVE MUST BE HOLY LOVE, SEEKING TO EMBRACE EVERONE AND EVERYTHING UNTIL WE ALL BECOME HOLY. THE FEATURES OF GOD'S LOVE - THAT IS, THE WAY GOD'S LOVE AS REVEALED IN THE BIBLE SHOWS ITSELF IN NATURAL LIFE - ARE UNFAMILIAR TO US.
THE FEATURES OF GOD'S LOVE ARE THAT IF WE COMMIT OURSELVES TO GOD, GOD WILL IMPART TO US THE VERY NATURE OF HIS SON. "FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD". (Rom.6:23)
GOD IS IMPARTING TO ME THE VERY NATURE OF HIS SON!
