Love Fulfilled Ministry

Not led astray, God is not mocked, for whatever a person sows that also reaps. For the one sowing to his own flesh from the flesh reaps corruption. Now, the one sowing to the Spirit, from the Spirit reaps eternal life . * The concept of reaping in the scriptures is related to the parable of sowing, in which the word of God is sowed, growing deep roots, then sprouting up through the weeds to bear fruit of thirty, sixty, and hundredfold. This is the process of growth in which we enter our reasonable service, unto holiness. * Unto holiness means we are being consecrated, set apart, transformed into the image of Christ, thus the fruit we get leads us into sanctification, and its outcome is Life. * The anointing that abides in us teaches us to abide in the words of Jesus. * As in the words of Jesus we are being sanctified, and the words of Jesus exist the Words of Life, Eternal Life. * The Spirit is raising us into newness of Life, putting to death the deeds of the flesh. The questio...

When he was insulted, not insulting in return. Suffering, not rebuking. Yes, he entrusted himself to the one who judges justly. * The word entrust ( παραδίδωμι , paradídōmi from pará , " from close-beside" and dídōmi , "give") properly, means to give (turn) over; "hand over from," i.e. to deliver over with a sense of close (personal) involvement. Paul writes our reasonable service and worship is to present the body a living sacrifice, unto holiness. * So we see a part of this is entrusting, this is how we enter into this service, under grace as it God's power at work. False religion makes it about doing things in the flesh not in the power of God, even presenting the body a living sacrifice as some form of self-basement or mutilation of the flesh. But we entrust ourselves to God, serving by the Spirit of God, boasting in Jesus Christ, and putting no confidence in the flesh. * Come now near me, all you weary and heavy burdened and I will cause y...

Now then, at the present time, no condemnation, those in Christ Jesus . * Now at the present time in the new covenant there is no condemnation for those in Christ. For those not in Christ these are already condemned because they do not believe in the Son, who God sent to save the world, not condemn it. For  those in Christ there is no condemnation. What is condemnation? The Mosaic Law judged and condemned. The Mosaic Law said that all had sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, it judged and condemned man. * But in Christ we are justified in his blood, we receive the gift of righteousness and grace, and of adoption, being born of the Spirit. This Paul writes to God's children, those who have testimony of Spirit, testifying they belong, that there is no condemnation in Christ. And the gift is not as by one man's sin, for the judgment following one led to condemnation, now, the free gift following the many transgressions led to justification . * There is a gift in g...

For this reason, gird up the loins of your mind, sober-minded, hope perfected on the grace bringing you forth in revelation, Jesus Christ . * In the new the beginning of wisdom and understanding is in Jesus Christ, we are  enlightened in the knowledge of the Son. We receive many spiritual blessings and fruit that help in regards to our perfection. This perfection is being brought forth, accomplished, completed in Jesus Christ. Under grace we are perfected in love, not fear of punishment. This maturity in Christ will be completed not under the Law nor living to the letter of the Law nor to elemental principles destined to perish thus we are released from the Law to serve in the newness of the Spirit. Our reasonable service and worship leads us into consecration in which the Spirit of God transforms, renews the mind. We gird up our loins in truth, therefore we gird up the mind, renew the mind, in Spirit and in Truth. God's power is being perfected in us under grace, this is our gl...
