Greetings sisters!
I am back again on another day the Lord gave me!
And I am keeping busy in Titus 2 helping work here. I'm sure you're all busy in whatever work the Lord has given you to do! Let us keep going well in all good things. We don't want to grow weary in well doing! We will reap if we faint not! I wouldn't like to think of any of my sisters fainting! It's good to remember that this life will have hard things and to not be surprised about them! But all things are not worthy to be compared to the glory that is to come!
Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;Philippians 1:27
Yes let us bring forth fruits worthy of our repentance that are honouring to our Lord.
I was pondering how loving Jesus has a cost to it. We know it isn't just words or feelings but really a lot of action.
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.1 John 3:18-19
So we test all things and abhor that which is evil and cleave to that which is good for His sake.
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.John 14:21
We surely do have His Word to know what He says!
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.1 Timothy 3:15
I'm thankful for what has been written so we may know how we ought to behave! And we know the 'house of God' or the 'church' is not a building but it is His true people!
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?1 Peter 4:17-18
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
And having an high priest over the house of God;
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
Hebrews 10:19-24
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 2:19-22
Praise God for the truth and to know we worship Him in spirit and truth! It is not all the outward ceremonies and carnal ordinances etc but faith which works by love. We walk in the Spirit and not the flesh. And His Word tells us clearly what is of the flesh and what is of the Spirit! Glad to know. So let us strive on after His good and holy ways sisters!
Love to you in the faith. Be strong and keep standing wherever you are even if it's alone. The Lord is with us and will come again and receive us one day if we remain faithful!
