Each Step

Believing in Jesus leads to repentance which leads to the journey of discipleship which will deliver you to the tree of life. 

Each step is necessary. 

Be. Whole

Because we are finite, we can be whole. 

Infinite has no boundaries. 

We can only be whole by the infinite God. 

We are to be holy as He is holy. 

To be holy is to be whole 

Authority

John 10:18 (NASB Strong's)

No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.”

We have the authority to lay down our lives for the one who has the authority to take it up again in the abundant life of Christ Jesus, the Son of God. 

Perfect Love

1 John 4:18 (ESV Strong's)

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.

We are perfected in perfect love. He loves us perfectly because He is perfect. He loves forever, for He is from everlasting to everlasting. We are being made in His image. 

Do Not Grieve

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 (NASB Strong's)

13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

Those who have died on earth, but alive to Jesus will never die. They will return with Him for the body of Christ, those.who remain on earth. We will always be together. 

Seek And Work

Any idol man makes is empty of life. He is unable to create a god by his own hands. 

God is the giver of life and has done so, filling all the world. We can’t create God in our own image, but when we  seek and work with God, He will make us in His image. This is abundant life and is only available through His Son Christ Jesus. 

When this is done, the work of creation will be complete and God will rest. 

At Work In You

1 Thessalonians 2:13 (ESV Strong's)

And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.

Before Christ was glorified, men would speak the word of God to others. The word came through their voice into the ears of the people. 

After Christ was glorified, the word of God was given to the hearts of the people. The Spirit would speak to each one from within to be heard through the spiritual ears of understanding which comes through the gift of the light of Christ. He is at work In believers today to shape us into the image of God. 

Fully Convinced

Romans 4:20-25 (ESV Strong's)

20 No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, 21 fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. 22 That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.” 23 But the words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone, 24 but for ours also. It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, 25 who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.

We are a promised child of God. We will be made in the image of God if we remain faithful. God is able to do what He has promised. Abraham is our father in his faith in the Lord. Through him the nations will be blessed.
