Salutations to my sisters!
I hope you are striving on in the truth! And hopefully all your works are going well and prospering whatever they are...all good works unto the Lord! There's so much in His Word about our works...that they are good and pleasing to our holy God!
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.Ephesians 5:2
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.Galatians 2:20
I'm thankful that Christ loved us and gave Himself for us. What a sacrifice. Let us love Him who first loved us and follow after Him with thankful humble hearts!
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.Galatians 3:14
That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:Ephesians 3:6
We are blessed in Him for His grace and mercy and that the middle wall was broken down!
But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
Ephesians 2:13-22
This is a cause for exceeding great joy! Let us not forget all we have in Christ...the mystery kept secret from the foundation of the world!
All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.Matthew 13:34-35
Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
Romans 16:25-27
Amen, to Him be all the glory!
Let us follow our Father's example...
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.Luke 6:35-36
He is kind and merciful to the wicked. May we be also but we know judgement is coming from Him not us. It is a high calling we have to follow.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.Matthew 5:44-45
Let us strive to be perfect as He is perfect. We can never stop growing up in Him!
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:Ephesians 4:15
Hold fast my sisters and let us keep being godly women going about our serving duties and ready to help others in the truth too if God gives us those opportunities!
Much love in His name,
Sister Chayil
