TODAY IS EASTER SUNDAY, THE RESURRECTION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. CHRIST IS RISEN CHRIST IS RISEN INDEED! TODAY I SAY CHRIST IS RISEN CHRIST IS RISEN IN ME! MY HOLY WEEK REVEALATION IS TOTAL COMMITMENT TO GOD IS WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. THIS IS WHAT CHRIST WILLINGLY DIED FOR SO THAT I COULD HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ONE AND ONLY GOD, THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS INCLUDING ME! THIS WOULD BE GREAT TO HOPE FOR, BUT I KNOW IT IS TRUE NOW BECAUSE I HAVE FAITH IN THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD THAT GOD'S WRITTEN WORDS ARE TRUE NOW!
IF I AM OUT OF MY MIND, IT IS FOR THE SAKE OF GOD; IF I AM IN MY RIGHT MIND, IT IS FOR YOU. FOR CHRIST'S LOVE COMPELS ME, BECAUSE I AM 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 ME AND WAS RAISED AGAIN.
SO FROM NOW ON I REGARD NO ONE FROM A WORLDLY POINT OF VIEW. THOUGH I ONCE REGARDED CHRIST IN THIS WAY, I DO SO NO LONGER. THEREFORE, SINCE I AM IN CHRIST, I AM A NEW CREATION; THE OLD HAS GONE, THE NEW HAS COME! ALL THIS IS FROM GOD, WHO RECONCILED ME TO HIMSELF THROUGH CHRIST AND GAVE ME THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION: THAT GOD WAS RECONCILING THE WORLD TO HIMSELF IN CHRIST, NOT COUNTING MEN'S SINS AGAINST THEM. AND GOD HAS COMMITTED TO ME THE MESSAGE OF RECONCILIATION. I AM THEREFORE CHRIST'S AMBASSADOR, AS THOUGH GOD WERE MAKING HIS APPEAL THROUGH ME. I IMPLORE YOU ON CHRIST'S BEHALF: BE RECONCILED TO GOD. GOD MADE CHRIST WHO HAD NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR ME, SO THAT IN CHRIST I MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD.
AS A FELLOW WORKER OF GOD I URGE YOU NOT TO RECIEVE GOD'S GRACE IN VAIN. FOR GOD SAYS, "IN THE TIME OF MY 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. (2Corinthians 5:13-6:2)
DO NOT BE YOKED TOGETHER WITH UNBELIEVERS. FOR WHAT DO RIGHTEOUSNESS AND WICKEDNESS HAVE IN COMMON? OR WHAT FELLOWSHIP CAN LIGHT HAVE WITH DARKNESS? WHAT HARMONY IS THERE BETWEEN CHRIST AND BELIAL? WHAT DOES A BELIEVER HAVE IN COMMON WITH AN UNBELIEVER? WHAT AGREEMENT IS THERE BETWEEN THE TEMPLE OF GOD AND IDOLS? FOR WE ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE LIVING GOD. AS GOD HAS SAID: "I WILL LIVE WITH THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM, AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY WILL BE MY PEOPLE."
"THEREFORE COME OUT FROM THEM AND BE SEPERATE, SAYS THE LORD. TOUCH NO UNCLEAN THING, AND I WILL RECIEVE YOU."
"I WILL BE A FATHER TO YOU, AND YOU WILL BE MY SONS AND DAUGHTERS, SAYS THE LORD ALMIGHTY."
SINCE WE HAVE THESE PROMISES, DEAR FRIENDS, LET US PURIFY OURSELVES FROM EVERYTHING THAT CONTAMINATES BODY AND SPIRIT, PERFECTING HOLINESS OUT OF REVERENCE FOR GOD.
(2 Cor.6:14-7:1)
NOW THIS IS ETERNAL LIFE: THAT I MAY KNOW YOU, THE ONLY TRUE GOD, AND JESUS CHRIST, WHOM YOU GOD HAVE SENT. (John 17:3)
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!
