Of what great love has the Father given to us that called children of God, and existing!... Beloved at the present existing children of God, and not yet brought to light what we exist knowing that when brought to light existing like Him, since seeing him just as existing. And everyone having this hope in him purifies himself, just as He is pure.*
What manner of love is this that we exist children of God! John writes to those who receive, who believe in Jesus they are given the power to become children of God.* The promise of inheritance that would come through Christ, given to Abraham, and whom the Holy Spirit exists a pledge of the promise for those who believe.* Being a child of God has great implications not only to how we are suppose to live but also in how we are suppose to love one another. If we truly were of glory we would practice righteousness and would be known by our love for one another. We are called to glory and the children of glory practice righteousness and love the brethren.
In love he predestined us for adoption as his own through Jesus Christ, according to his good pleasure.*
In Christ we are blessed with every spiritual blessings from the heavenlies; adoption, redemption, and the forgiveness of sin. The blessing of adoption says in love he chose me, according to the riches of His grace. This adoption is through the Spirit whom testifies that we are his children, "because existing sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, whom cries Abba Father!"* A Spirit of adoption, "for not receiving the spirit of slavery back to fear, but receiving the Spirit of adoption in whom cries Abba Father!"* If we were only blessed with a testimony of Spirit, and blood, it would be enough, but he calls us to a higher calling, holiness, in which he continues to bless us.
And everyone having this hope in him purifies himself, just as He is pure.*
There is a heavenly calling that those who seek holiness partake.* Those who are called strive for holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.* If God seed has been planted within me then I have been called, I am indebted to righteousness and the seed of righteousness will grow up to bear fruit of righteousness. "I press on toward the goal, for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."* Paul writes when the race is finished he will receive a crown of righteousness and life. The high calling is about bearing fruit of righteousness. Those who have this hope in him purifies themselves just a He is pure. How is hope produced for those who seek holiness?
... we rejoice in hope, the glory of God, now, not only that but we rejoice in our sufferings knowing that suffering produces endurance and endurance produces character, and character produces hope. Now, hope doesn't disappoint because the love of God is poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.*
What is the purpose of suffering? That we share in His holy character.* Suffering produces endurance and endurance produces character, or as James writes "consider it all joy brothers when you encounter various trials, knowing the proving of your faith produces endurance, now having endurance, having its intended work, so that existing mature and complete, lacking in nothing."* Do you see how we become mature, take on his holy character, and have pure religion unstained from this world? And do you see how those who hope in him purify themselves just as He is pure? Character produces hope, in other words when we mature in character hope is produced, so those who have this hope in him purify themselves. We rejoice in hope, because we are sharing in the holy character, the glory of God. Paul explains it like running a race, when we endure the proving, we mature, or possess more of his holy character.
As far as we, the one hoping in Christ, exist the praise of his glory.*
We have been blessed from the heavenlies in Christ Jesus. Adopted we have obtained an inheritance, "predestined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to his will."* Those adopted are called to participate in his holy character, "even as he chose us in Him before creation of the world existing holy also in the sight of him in love."* God's children exist in the sight of Him loved, "now hope doesn't disappoint because the love of God is poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit given to us."* How important is love! God was rich in mercy through His great love for us, though we were dead he made us alive together in Christ Jesus, by grace we are saved, also raising us up and seating us in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.* This to demonstrate to the ages to come the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. Through his great love for us, through the blessings we receive in Christ Jesus the issue of God's holiness is solved, we grow up and partake of his character.
To them God chose to make known in the people, the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.*
We are becoming like Christ pure, a holy people set apart. Why is Christ the hope of glory? Because know I will be like him. is glory just going to heaven? or is glory displayed in the people, becoming like Christ? We are a chosen people, predestined to be holy, called to be holy, called out of darkness into his marvelous Light, and by such we declare the glory of God.* We are being transformed into glory, Jesus being the hope of glory, "with unveiled faces beholding in a mirror, the glory of the Lord, transformed into the very likeness, from glory to glory, even as the Lord's Spirit."* The glory of heaven is that we will be like Jesus, complete, whole. Though we don't fully know, by faith we get to look into the glory, presently it is like looking into a cloudy mirror but face to face we will fully know and be fully known.* "Beloved at the present existing children of God, and not yet brought to light what we will exist, knowing that when brought to light existing like Him, since seeing him just as existing, And everyone having this hope in him purifies himself, just as He is pure."* To endure, to receive a crown and to be sure of your calling, it is like a boy entering into manhood, but much more he is becoming a spiritual man that displays the holy character of Christ. There is much hope that exists from God and deserved boasting to have been proven great, a man of God.
And he called you into this salvation though this our gospel, to share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.*
We are called to share in his glory, which is to share his holy character. "because those he foreknew also predestined, to conform to the image of His Son, to the extent that he exists firstborn among many brethren. Now, those predestined, these also called, and these called also justified, now, these justified, these also glorified."* Do we see what it means to be transformed from glory to glory? If you are in Christ you are called to become holy, to conform to the image of His Son. "And knowing that all things work together for good, for the one loving God, the one existing called according to purpose."* We love God because he first loved us, we were chosen to become like Jesus, he being the first. Did God display his wrath to vessels of wrath, to make the riches of his glory known to vessels of his mercy? yes, he prepared some in advance for destruction and some in advance for glory.* By the good pleasure of his will.
Also knowing that he appeared so to take away our sins and existed no sin in him. No one abiding in Him sins, no one sins seeing him neither knowing him.*
Do you know Jesus? The Greek word for know speaks of experiential knowledge of Jesus but also assurance, to know something as complete and settled; to be master of a thing; to ascertain by examination, to discern. So do you know Jesus? Have you looked at him, examined him, beheld him? Do you know he was without sin? Now, examining Christ are you a Christian? Are you like Christ? He appeared to take away sin. "little children, no one leads you astray, the one practicing godliness exists righteous. The one practicing sin exists of the devil, because the devil sinned from the beginning, the Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil."* If Christ came to destroy the works of the devil and you are practicing sin, whose author is the devil, what does that say about you? Is there condemnation in Christ? no. Is the one in Christ called to share in glory, in his holy character? yes. If you are a child of God then you have internal testimony of Spirit and blood. And you are a son of obedience, do not let anyone say different about your youth. But do not be a hypocrite pretending to be something you are not, walk in that already obtained, seeking that which is ahead, it is your reasonable service and high calling, to share in His holy character.
No one born of God practices sin, because God's seed abides in him and not a sinnerr because he is born of God. By this the children of God and the children of the devil are revealed; all the ones not practicing righteousness exist not of God also the one not loving his brother.*
The word sin ἁμαρτία (hamartia) means missing the mark but also it means "not a part, share of." Consecration and sanctification and holiness come from the word ἁγιασμός (hagiasmos) derived from holy and of the idea of a people set apart, holy unto God. A sinner is not a part of the kingdom of God, whereas those knowing Christ are marked with the Holy Spirit, set apart, circumcised of the heart by the Spirit. A sinner misses the mark, he is not apart of, does not share in, is not of the holy, the saints, God's children, "but you exist in Christ Jesus who became for us wisdom from God, and these righteousness and sanctification, and redemption."* The child of God knows the father and that his sins are forgiven, the child is called to maturity, to grow up into his salvation, as John writes the young person is strong as the word of God abides in Him, overcoming evil. "Now, freed from sin and devoted to God, the fruit you have leads to holiness, now, the outcome is Life."* The one born of God, he is a partaker of divine nature, born of the Spirit, the seed of God, of righteousness, is planted in him, he is destined and thus indebted to grow up into righteousness and life, he will not continue in sin. In being a child of God we see the implications of being a part of holiness, it says we have grown up into our salvation. If we are called into holiness we need to make sure of our calling, lest we fall short as the lost, in this a child of God can not continue in sin. We also see the implications of loving God's children, we are called out of darkness into his marvelous, we should be known by our love for one another as Jesus said. Paul writes the bond of love leads to maturity.
What manner of love is this that we exist children of God! John writes to those who receive, who believe in Jesus they are given the power to become children of God.* The promise of inheritance that would come through Christ, given to Abraham, and whom the Holy Spirit exists a pledge of the promise for those who believe.* Being a child of God has great implications not only to how we are suppose to live but also in how we are suppose to love one another. If we truly were of glory we would practice righteousness and would be known by our love for one another. We are called to glory and the children of glory practice righteousness and love the brethren.
In love he predestined us for adoption as his own through Jesus Christ, according to his good pleasure.*
In Christ we are blessed with every spiritual blessings from the heavenlies; adoption, redemption, and the forgiveness of sin. The blessing of adoption says in love he chose me, according to the riches of His grace. This adoption is through the Spirit whom testifies that we are his children, "because existing sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, whom cries Abba Father!"* A Spirit of adoption, "for not receiving the spirit of slavery back to fear, but receiving the Spirit of adoption in whom cries Abba Father!"* If we were only blessed with a testimony of Spirit, and blood, it would be enough, but he calls us to a higher calling, holiness, in which he continues to bless us.
And everyone having this hope in him purifies himself, just as He is pure.*
There is a heavenly calling that those who seek holiness partake.* Those who are called strive for holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.* If God seed has been planted within me then I have been called, I am indebted to righteousness and the seed of righteousness will grow up to bear fruit of righteousness. "I press on toward the goal, for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."* Paul writes when the race is finished he will receive a crown of righteousness and life. The high calling is about bearing fruit of righteousness. Those who have this hope in him purifies themselves just a He is pure. How is hope produced for those who seek holiness?
... we rejoice in hope, the glory of God, now, not only that but we rejoice in our sufferings knowing that suffering produces endurance and endurance produces character, and character produces hope. Now, hope doesn't disappoint because the love of God is poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.*
What is the purpose of suffering? That we share in His holy character.* Suffering produces endurance and endurance produces character, or as James writes "consider it all joy brothers when you encounter various trials, knowing the proving of your faith produces endurance, now having endurance, having its intended work, so that existing mature and complete, lacking in nothing."* Do you see how we become mature, take on his holy character, and have pure religion unstained from this world? And do you see how those who hope in him purify themselves just as He is pure? Character produces hope, in other words when we mature in character hope is produced, so those who have this hope in him purify themselves. We rejoice in hope, because we are sharing in the holy character, the glory of God. Paul explains it like running a race, when we endure the proving, we mature, or possess more of his holy character.
As far as we, the one hoping in Christ, exist the praise of his glory.*
We have been blessed from the heavenlies in Christ Jesus. Adopted we have obtained an inheritance, "predestined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to his will."* Those adopted are called to participate in his holy character, "even as he chose us in Him before creation of the world existing holy also in the sight of him in love."* God's children exist in the sight of Him loved, "now hope doesn't disappoint because the love of God is poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit given to us."* How important is love! God was rich in mercy through His great love for us, though we were dead he made us alive together in Christ Jesus, by grace we are saved, also raising us up and seating us in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.* This to demonstrate to the ages to come the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. Through his great love for us, through the blessings we receive in Christ Jesus the issue of God's holiness is solved, we grow up and partake of his character.

There is much hope that exists from God and deserved boasting to have been proven great, a man of God.
And he called you into this salvation though this our gospel, to share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.*
We are called to share in his glory, which is to share his holy character. "because those he foreknew also predestined, to conform to the image of His Son, to the extent that he exists firstborn among many brethren. Now, those predestined, these also called, and these called also justified, now, these justified, these also glorified."* Do we see what it means to be transformed from glory to glory? If you are in Christ you are called to become holy, to conform to the image of His Son. "And knowing that all things work together for good, for the one loving God, the one existing called according to purpose."* We love God because he first loved us, we were chosen to become like Jesus, he being the first. Did God display his wrath to vessels of wrath, to make the riches of his glory known to vessels of his mercy? yes, he prepared some in advance for destruction and some in advance for glory.* By the good pleasure of his will.
Also knowing that he appeared so to take away our sins and existed no sin in him. No one abiding in Him sins, no one sins seeing him neither knowing him.*

In being a child of God we see the implications of being a part of holiness, it says we have grown up into our salvation. If we are called into holiness we need to make sure of our calling, lest we fall short as the lost, in this a child of God can not continue in sin. We also see the implications of loving God's children, we are called out of darkness into his marvelous, we should be known by our love for one another as Jesus said. Paul writes the bond of love leads to maturity.
We know that we have crossed over from death to life because we love the brothers, the one not loving his brother abides in death.*
Being a child of God is a great blessing, what great love the Father shows that we are called children! It is a blessing to be chosen by grace but salvation does not end with forgiveness and a trip to heaven, no, we are predestined to be a holy people of all nations and of all peoples set apart for glory, to true glory. We are called from sin to righteousness, from darkness to light, from hate to love, from death to life. And this is how we know we have passed from death to life when we love His brethren. Think about the implications of this and how it reveals God's children from that of the devil. The message we have heard from the beginning is to love our brother, to be unlike Cain who hated his brother who was righteous. Jesus gave a new command which was really this message. There is something wrong with a church who in the name of loving the lost, those not his children, would turn their hearts from His children. Do you not know what you do to the least of these His brethren you do to him? This is the command to believe and love your brother. "In this we know love, that he laid down His life for us. Also we are obligated to lay down our lives for the brothers. Now, whoever has the worlds resources and sees his brother in need yet turns his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him."* Those who practice righteousness and love their brother, these are the children of God.* John writes the one who abides in Him does not sin, and loves His brethren. The anointing teaches us to abide in Him.* We are called to glory, Jesus is the hope of glory, abiding in Him is how we mature and bear fruit of glory.
