GOD SPEAKS TO ME THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST, GOD REVEALS A PATTERN FOR SPIRITUAL LIVING IN CHRIST.
GOD IT'S YOUR VOICE I HEAR WHEN I SPEAK YOUR WORD,
GOD IT'S YOUR VOICE THAT IS FILLING ME!
GOD IT'S YOUR VOICE I HEAR WHEN I SPEAK YOUR WORD,
GOD IT'S YOUR VOICE THAT IS FILLING ME!
"FOR THROUGH RELIGION I DIED TO RELIGION, SO THAT I MIGHT LIVE FOR GOD. I HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST AND I NO LONGER LIVE, BUT CHRIST LIVES IN ME. THE LIFE I LIVE IN THE BODY, I LIVE BY FAITH IN THE SON OF GOD, WHO LOVED ME AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR ME."(Gal.2:20)
"RELIGION THAT GOD OUR FATHER ACCEPTS AS PURE AND FAULTLESS IS THIS: TO LOOK AFTER ORPHANS AND WIDOWS IN THEIR DISTRESS AND TO KEEP ONESELF FROM BEING POLLUTED BY THE WORLD."(James 1:27)
SPIRITUAL EXCEPTIONALISM IS TAUGHT BY GOD HIMSELF!
SINCE, THEN, WE KNOW WHAT IT IS TO FEAR THE LORD, WE TRY TO PERSUADE MEN, WHAT WE ARE IS PLAIN TO GOD, AND I HOPE IT IS ALSO PLAIN TO YOUR CONSCIENCE. WE ARE NOT TRYING TO COMMEND OURSELVES TO YOU AGAIN,BUT ARE GIVING YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE PRIDE IN US , SO THAT YOU CAN ANSWER THOSE WHO TAKE PRIDE IN WHAT IS SEEN RATHER THAN WHAT IS IN THE HEART. IF WE ARE OUT OF OUR MINDS, IT IS FOR THE SAKE OF GOD; IF WE ARE IN OUR RIGHT MIND, IT IS FOR YOU. FOR CHRIST'S LOVE COMPELS US, BECAUSE WE ARE CONVINCED THAT ONE DIED FOR ALL, AND THEREFORE ALL DIED. AND CHRIST DIED FOR ALL, THAT THOSE WHO LIVE SHOULD NO LONGER LIVE FOR THEMSELVES BUT FOR CHRIST WHO DIED FOR THEM AND WAS RAISED AGAIN. SO FROM NOW ON WE REGARD NO ONE FROM A WORLDLY POINT VIEW. THROUGH WE ONCE REGARDED CHRIST IN THIS WAY, WE DO SO NO LONGER. THEREFORE, IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION; THE OLD HAS GONE, THE NEW HAS COME! ALL THIS IS FROM GOD, WHO RECONCILED US TO HIMSELF THROUGH CHRIST AND GAVE US THE MINISTRY RECONCILIATION: THAT GOD WAS RECONCILING THE WORLD TO HIMSELF IN CHRIST, NOT COUNTING MEN'S SINS AGAINST THEM. AND GOD HAS COMMITTED TO US THE MESSAGE OF RECONCILIATION. WE ARE THEREFORE CHRIST'S AMBASSADORS, AS THOUGH GOD WERE MAKING GOD'S APPEAL THROUGH US. WE IMPLORE YOU ON CHRIST'S BEHALF: BE RECONCILED TO GOD. GOD MADE CHRIST WHO HAD NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, SO THAT IN CHRIST WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. AS GOD'S FELLOW WORKERS WE URGE YOU NOT TO RECIEVE GOD'S GRACE IN VAIN. FOR GOD SAYS, "IN THE TIME OF FAVOR I HEARD YOU, AND IN THE DAY OF SALVATION I HELPED YOU." I TELL YOU, NOW IS THE TIME OF GOD'S FAVOR, NOW IS THE DAY OF SALVATION. (2Cor.5:11-6:2)
"MAY THE GOD OF PEACE, WHO THROUGH THE BLOOD OF THE ETERNAL COVENANT BROUGHT BACK FROM THE DEAD OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THAT GREAT SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP,EQUIP ME WITH EVERYTHING GOOD FOR DOING GOD'S WILL, AND MAY GOD WORK IN ME WHAT IS PLEASING TO GOD, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, TO WHOM BE GLORY FOR EVER AND EVER." AMEN! (Heb.13:20-21)
"CHRIST IS THE PATTERN FOR MY LIFE, AND GOD IS TRANSFORMING ME TO THE PATTERN. SO I SAY THANKS BE TO GOD." AMEN!
