Greetings sisters in the Lord!
Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.Philippians 4:21
I hope you're continuing in the faith and walking in the truth and light of His Word! I am here again to share a little edifying for the day!
Here's some scriptures on edifying itself!
Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.Romans 14:19
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearer.Ephesians 4:29
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.1 Thessalonians 5:11
Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.1 Corinthians 14:12
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.Ephesians 4:16
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.1 Timothy 1:4
God's word is our source of edifying isn't it! So sharing His Word and talking about it is the best edifying! There's so much in this world that isn't edifying. It's foolish, vain, and sinful. But we are blessed with His precious Word to feed on! We do not live by bread alone but by every word of God! And yes not only are Jesus' words important but we know Paul and Peter, and James and John were giving us the Lord's words and truth also! We know things changed when Jesus shed His blood for us as He told us of the new covenant in His blood.
For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Matthew 26:28
And this is our only hope! It indeed is a living hope as we cannot save ourselves from our sins which were leading to our death when we lived in them.
I had travel to the children's again and so that means more hours to listen to scripture. Sometimes it's like even though you've just recently read or heard the same scriptures you may be thinking about a different subject so different things stand out to you. So it never grows old His Word!
Indeed the good shepherd gave His life for His sheep. We know there is no greater love than someone to lay down their life for others.
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
John 10:10-11,15
We know Jesus is the love God showed for the world. His death, when He laid down His life in His own power, is the great love. What a great gift!
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.1 John 3:16
How thankful we ought to be for this! It was a horrible excruciating ordeal He went through and could really easily have gotten out of but He laid aside His will to do His Father's. So may we follow and obey our wonderful good Shepherd!
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?Romans 8:31-32
May we walk worth of our calling...
I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Ephesians 4:1-3
So strive on stedfastly sisters! Keep running the race with patience looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith who has gone before us! Love to you in His name.
