WE ARE ONE IN CHRIST, FOR CHRIST HIMSELF IS OUR PEACE!

THERE IS ONLY "ONE" GOD AND GOD I KNOW THE TRUTH TODAY, AND GOD I UNDERSTAND TODAY, GOD YOUR WORD IS THE TRUTH I STAND UNDER. AMEN!

I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL, BECAUSE IT IS THE POWER OF GOD FOR THE SPIRITUAL SALVATION OF EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES: FIRST FOR THE JEW, THEN FOR THE GENTILE. FOR IN THE GOSPEL A RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, A RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT IS BY FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, JUST AS IT IS WRITTEN: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Rom.1:16-17)

ABOVE ALL, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT NO PROPHECY OF SCRIPTURE CAME ABOUT BY THE PROPHET'S OWN INTERPRETATION. FOR PROPHECY NEVER HAD ITS ORIGIN IN THE WILL OF MAN, BUT MEN SPOKE FROM GOD AS THEY WERE CARRIED ALONG BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. (2 Peter 1:20)

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. (2 Cor.5:19b-21)

BUT AS FOR YOU, CONTINUE IN WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED AND HAVE BECOME CONVINCED OF, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THOSE FROM WHOM YOU LEARNED IT, AND HOW FROM INFANCY YOU HAVE KNOWN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, WHICH ARE ABLE TO MAKE YOU WISE FOR SPIRITUAL SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD BREATHED AND IS USEFUL FOR TEACHING, REBUKING, CORRECTING AND TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, SO THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. (2 Tim. 3:14-17)

WE ARE CALLED TO BE DISCIPLES OF JESUS, "JESUS SAID FOLLOW ME". WE ALL GET THE SAME THING, GOD LOVES US ALL, WE HAVE  NO MORE RIGHTS THAN ANYBODY ELSE. THERE IS A PLACE AT THE TABLE FOR US ALL. WE ARE TO SHARE GOD'S LOVE WITH EVERYONE WE MEET.

"BUT IF ANYONE OBEYS GOD'S WORD, GOD'S LOVE IS TRULY MADE COMPLETE IN HIM. THIS IS HOW WE KNOW WE ARE IN GOD: WHOEVER CLAIMS TO LIVE IN GOD MUST WALK AS JESUS DID." (1 John 2:5-6) "GODS WORD IS GOD'S LOVE"!

WE DO, HOWEVER, SPEAK A MESSAGE OF WISDOM AMONG THE MATURE, BUT NOT THE WISDOM OF THIS AGE OR OF THE RULERS OF THIS AGE, WHO ARE COMING TO NOTHING. NO WE SPEAK OF GOD'S SCERET WISDOM, A WISDOM THAT HAS BEEN HIDDEN AND THAT GOD DESTINED FOR OUR GLORY BEFORE TIME BEGAN. NONE OF THE RULERS OF THIS AGE UNDERSTOOD IT, FOR IF THEY HAD, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE CRUCIFIED THE LORD OF GLORY. (1 Cor. 2:6-8)

WE ARE ONE IN CHRIST, FOR CHRIST HIMSELF IS OUR PEACE!

THEREFORE, REMEMBER THAT FORMERLY YOU WHO ARE GENTILES BY BIRTH AND CALLED "UNCIRCUMCISED" BY THOSE WHO ARE CALL THEMSELVES "THE CIRCUMCISED" (THAT DONE IN THE BODY BY THE HANDS OF MEN) - REMEMBER THAT AT THAT TIME YOU WERE SEPARATE FROM CHRIST, EXCLUDED FROM CITIZENSHIP IN ISRAEL AND FOREIGNERS TO THE COVENANTS OF THE PROMISE, WITHOUT HOPE AND WITHOUT GOD IN THE WORLD.

BUT NOW IN CHRIST JESUS YOU WHO ONCE WERE FAR AWAY HAVE BEEN BROUGHT NEAR THROUGH THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. FOR CHRIST HIMSELF IS OUR PEACE, WHO HAS MADE THE TWO ONE AND HAS DESTROYED THE BARRIER, THE DIVIDING WALL OF HOSTILITY, BY ABOLISHING IN CHRIST FLESH THE LAW WITH ITS COMMANDMENTS AND REGULATIONS.

CHRIST'S PURPOSE WAS TO CREATE IN HIMSELF ONE NEW MAN OUT OF THE TWO, THUS MAKING PEACE, AND IN THIS ONE BODY TO RECONCILE BOTH OF THEM TO GOD THROUGH THE CROSS, BY WHICH CHRIST PUT TO DEATH THEIR HOSTILITY. CHRIST CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR. FOR THROUGH CHRIST WE BOTH HAVE ACCESS TO THE FATHER BY ONE SPIRIT.

CONSEQUENTLY, YOU ARE NO LONGER FOREIGNERS AND ALIENS, BUT FELLOW CITIZENS WITH GOD'S PEOPLE AND MEMBERS OF GOD'S HOUSEHOLD, BUILT ON THE FOUNDATION OF THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS, WITH CHRIST JESUS HIMSELF AS THE CORNERSTONE. IN CHRIST THE WHOLE BUILDING IS JOINED TOGETHER AND RISES TO BECOME A HOLY TEMPLE IN THE LORD. AND IN CHRIST YOU TOO ARE BEING BUILT TOGETHER TO BECOME A DWELLING IN WHICH GOD LIVES BY GOD'S SPIRIT. (Eph. 2:11-22)

I AM GOD'S POSSESSION AND GOD WORKS IN AND THROUGH ME EVERYDAY SO THAT I AM THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. GOD IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO US IS OUR SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. THROUGH SPIRITUAL PROCESSING GOD IS TRANSFORMING US TO BE THE BODY OF THE RISEN CHRIST IN THE WORLD.

APOSTLES OF CHRIST

SO THEN, MEN OUGHT TO REGARD US AS SERVANTS OF CHRIST AND AS THOSE ENTRUSTED WITH THE SECRET THINGS OF GOD. "NOW" IT IS REQUIRED THAT THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN GIVEN A TRUST MUST PROVE FAITHFUL. I CARE VERY LITTLE IF I AM JUDGE BY YOU OR BY ANY HUMAN COURT; INDEED, I DO NOT EVEN JUDGE MYSELF. MY CONSCIENCE IS CLEAR, BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE ME INNOCENT. IT IS THE LORD WHO JUDGES ME. (1 Cor.4:1-4)

BUT AS SURELY AS GOD IS FAITHFUL, OUR MESSAGE TO YOU IS NOT "YES" AND "NO." FOR THE SON OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST, WHO WAS PREACHED AMONG YOU BY ME AND SILAS AND TIMOTHY, WAS NOT "YES" AND "NO," BUT IN CHRIST IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN "YES." FOR NO MATTER HOW MANY PROMISES GOD HAS MADE, THEY ARE "YES" IN CHRIST.

AND SO THROUGH CHRIST THE "AMEN" IS SPOKEN BY US TO THE GLORY OF GOD. NOW IT IS GOD WHO MAKES BOTH US AND YOU STAND FIRM IN CHRIST. GOD ANOINTED US, SET GOD'S SEAL OF OWNERSHIP ON US, AND PUT GOD'S SPIRIT IN OUR HEARTS AS A DEPOSIT, GUARANTEEING WHAT IS TO COME. (2 Cor.1:18-22)

THOSE WHO OBEY GOD'S COMMANDS LIVE IN GOD, AND GOD IN THEM. AND THIS IS HOW WE KNOW THAT GOD LIVES IN US: WE KNOW IT BY THE SPIRIT GOD GAVE US. (1 John 3:24)

WE ARE FROM GOD, AND WHOEVER KNOWS GOD LISTENS TO US; BUT WHOEVER IS NOT FROM GOD DOES NOT LISTEN TO US. THIS IS HOW WE RECOGNIZE THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH AND THE SPIRIT OF FALSEHOOD. (1 John 4:6)

NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN GOD; BUT IF WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, GOD LIVES IN US AND GOD'S LOVE IS MADE COMPLETE IN US.

WE KNOW THAT WE LIVE IN GOD AND GOD IN US, BECAUSE GOD HAS GIVEN US OF GOD'S SPIRIT. AND WE HAVE SEEN AND TESTIFY THAT THE FATHER HAS SENT HIS SON TO BE THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD. (1John 4:12-14)

CAN I GET AN AMEN FROM ALL WHO CALL ON GOD. AMEN!

TODAY I HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD, GOD HAS PUT HIS LAWS IN MY HEART AND GOD HAS WROTE THEM ON MY MIND. MY COVENANT WITH GOD IS MY PERSONAL PATHWAY TO GOD. BY SPEAKING THE WORDS OF THIS COVENANT OUT OF MY MOUTH BACK INTO MY HEART IT STRENGTHEN MY FAITH.

AS YOU COME TO CHRIST, THE LIVING STONE - REJECTED BY MEN BUT CHOSEN BY GOD AND PRECIOUS TO GOD - YOU ALSO, LIKE LIVING STONES, ARE BEING BUILT INTO A SPIRITUAL HOUSE TO BE A HOLY PRIESTHOOD, OFFERING SPIRITUAL SACRIFICES ACCEPTABLE TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.

FOR IN SCRIPTURE IT SAYS: "SEE, I LAY A STONE IN ZION, A CHOSEN AND PRECIOUS CORNERSTONE, AND THE ONE WHO TRUST IN CHRIST WILL NEVER BE PUT TO SHAME." (1 Peter2:4-6)

CHRIST WAS CHOSEN BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD, BUT WAS REVEALED IN THESE LAST TIMES FOR YOUR SAKE. THROUGH CHRIST YOU BELIEVE IN GOD, WHO RAISED CHRIST FROM THE DEAD AND GLORIFIED CHRIST, AND SO YOUR FAITH AND HOPE ARE IN GOD. (1 Peter 1:20-21)

I AM CHRIST LIKE AND I HAVE BEEN CALLED BY GOD , AND I AM THE FIRSTBORN OF MANY BROTHERS AND I AM A CHILD OF GOD, AND I WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH!

"YET A TIME IS COMING AND HAS "NOW" COME WHEN TRUE WORSHIPERS WILL WORSHIP THE FATHER IN SPIRIT  AND TRUTH, FOR THEY ARE THE KIND OF WORSHIPERS THE FATHER SEEKS. GOD IS SPIRIT, AND GOD WORSHIPERS MUST WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH." (John 4:23-24)
