Eternally Loved of God

I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness (Jeremiah 31:3)
God foreknows the future thus he sees outside the restrictions of time. For God to have chosen you before he created the world and for him to have chosen you in love is to say that he eternally loved you. To be eternally loved is to never be forsaken and forever drawn to him through lovingkindness. He purposed this in Christ to demonstrate the incomparable riches of his grace in lovingkindness.
even as he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy, blameless in his presence, in love, predestining us for adoption as his own through Jesus Christ according to the good pleasure of his will (Ephesians 1:4-5) 
From eternity God chose us before he created the world, the establishment of time. Through foreknowledge, God looked into time and chose you. Paul writes, that before Jacob and Esua had done anything good or bad, God chose Jacob and loved him. Jacob wasn't so reciprocating but God loved him with everlasting love, drawing him to him in lovingkindness. Why and to whom he shows mercy and chooses it is not for us to know and understand, it is according to the good pleasure of his will. 
give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, his lovingkindness endures forever (Psalm 136:1)
Bless God for blessing you in Christ, who called you not because you were good but of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ before time began (2 Timothy 1:9). God chose you in love before he created the world, a love that surpasses knowledge (Ephesians 1:3-4; Ephesians 3:18-19). One day when we see him face to face we will be know as we are known by God; loved of God. Until then His love is made known (manifested, revealed) to us in part thus it is a love that we do not know in fullness, therefore it is surpassing knowledge.   
such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain (Psalm 139:6). 
Jeremiah and David understood of such everlasting love and calling, 'before you were formed in the womb" and "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb" and "Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." 
I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness (Jeremiah 31:3)
David knew of God's eternal love and was drawn to God through lovingkindness "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast." (Psalms 139:7-10). 
Of what kind of love has the Father given to us, so that called children of God; and existing, through this the world does not know us because not knowing him (1 John 3:1)
Knowing God or to be known by him is to be loved. Oh to fathom the vastness of his steadfast love, surpassing in human comprehension, to know a love that is eternal without bounds that has no depth nor height nor width nor breadth, a love that endures forever. This is our God, who exists love and makes his everlasting love known to us. This is who we are, children loved of God. 
we love because he first loved us (1 John 4:19)
We are called to love others especially those of the household of God, but how can we? if we do not know of his great love? Our response to being loved is to love him which overflows to others. We are continuingly knowing of his love, comprehending more and more, thus being drawn to him in lovingkindness. We love because he first loved us or we love because he first manifested his love to us. We endure, bear, and believe all because love endures, believes, and bears all. God's love is everlasting upon whom he chooses.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well (Psalm 139:14)
The works of God I know well, they are wonderful beyond comparison. Inwardly, I was formed of his Spirit, a new creation in Christ, and through the knowledge of Jesus his glory is being revealed in me. At times I struggle to see who I am but he is working all good things according to his eternal purpose and it has been revealed to me that I am called according to this purpose. 
now knowing because all work togther to the extent of good to the ones loved of God, the ones exsiting called (Romans 8:28)
God loves us with an everlasting love. He revealed his love to us, beginning a good work in us, and he who began a good work in us will continue it until completion. This is a great promise, for those eternally loved of God.

The Tripartite Nature of Humanity: Spirit, Soul, and Body

The Tripartite Nature of Humanity: Spirit, Soul, and Body in Biblical Understanding The human being, as depicted in the Bible, is a multifaceted creation, often understood through the distinct yet interconnected components of spirit, soul, and body. While some theological perspectives lean towards a bipartite view (soul and body), which we do see in the Old Testament, a careful examination of the New Testament scripture reveals a compelling case for a tripartite understanding, where each is divided into or composed of three parts. Let’s explore the biblical distinction between spirit, soul, and body. The Body: Our Earthly Vessel The body is the physical form that interacts with the material world. From the very beginning, Genesis 2:7 states, " Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being ." This verse clearly establishes the body's origin from the earth, emphasizing its connec...

Lord, Stand By Me

"... present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness ." 1 This word for present means "I bring, present, come up to and stand by," it is parístēmi (from pará, "from close-beside" and hístēmi, "to stand") – properly, stand close beside, i.e. ready to present (exhibit). I pray Lord stand by me which expresses that I put my trust in Him, or I come up to and stand by Him. We use phrases like surrendering or bowing at the cross to explain such a moment, surely it is a coming to the end of ourselves and it is desirable that I find His will acceptable, but it is important to understand that it is about trust, not my will power, the key is that it is in Christ. The terminology the scriptures use is "present yourselves to God," or come up to and stand by and walk with Him. "... present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God--this...

The New Living Way

The New Living Way "... Now, at the present released from the Law, having died in that which held us captive, so that we serve in newness of Spirit and not the old written code " -- Romans 7:16 Paul states that we are now united to Christ in his death and also raised with him into newness of life. What held them captive was sin but also the Law, it was a guardian until the appointed time God would send a Messiah (see School Master ). Paul uses the metaphor of marriage to describe how we are released from the Law; like a wife whose husband dies, now she is released from the Law and can marry another, so also have we died with Christ and are released from the Law and bound to Christ in a new covenant. The purpose of this is that we live in a new living way of the Spirit and not fleshly through the old written code or Mosaic Law. " So then brothers, you also have died to the Law through the body of Christ to the extent you exist by creation of another, the one raising you f...

Spirit of Life

" Indeed, the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus liberates from the law of sin and death ." 1 This word for liberates "I free, set free, liberate" is from a root word meaning free, exempt, not bound by an obligation. As partakers of God's divine nature, being born of Spirit, we are no longer obligated to the sinful nature but to righteousness which is God's nature. When we believe we receive the Spirit of promise, a guarantee of our inheritance, a great testimony that we are His children, it is a Spirit of Life. " Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life." 24 The Son came not to condemn the world but to save it. "One trespass   led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. " 6 " He was delivered over to death for our trespasses and wa...

New Testament Growth in Christ: From Foundation to Fullness

  New Testament Growth in Christ: From Foundation to Fullness The New Testament presents a vibrant and multifaceted picture of spiritual growth, not as a static event but as a dynamic, lifelong journey for the believer. This journey, with emphasis on a strong foundation, progresses through a transformative process of maturity forged by endurance, ultimately aiming for the profound goal of experiencing the "fullness of God in Christ." The Foundation: A New Creation The inception of growth in Christ is marked by a radical spiritual new birth, a foundational shift that defines the Christian experience. It is not merely a moral reformation, but a divine act of creation. The apostle Paul declares this truth in 2 Corinthians 5:17 : " Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come ." This new creation is initiated by faith in Jesus Christ, where believers are justified and reconciled to God through His sacrifice. ...

All Who Are Thirsty

“ Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters;  and he who has no money,  come, buy and eat!  Come, buy wine and milk  without money and without price.  Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread,  and your labor for that which does not satisfy?  Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,  and delight yourselves in rich food. .." (Isaiah 55). " Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price ." Buy is defined as to acquire the ownership of by giving an accepted price or consideration therefore; to accept or believe as true .[ 1 ] When we buy something we consider the price that we must pay, we accept this and purchase the thing we have considered worthy of the sacrifice we make in payment. W e can not buy, with money or price, redemption from t his tragic flaw we are born into. However Jesus paid the price for us, so we buy or accept through consideration, the Greek word is  logizomai.[ 2] ...

True Widows: A Biblical Perspective

True Widows: A Biblical Perspective Throughout Scripture, God's compassion for widows is evident. He is portrayed as their defender, provider, and source of justice. The Bible repeatedly calls believers to care for widows, reflecting God's own heart for the vulnerable. However, in his letter to Timothy, the Apostle Paul provides a specific definition of a "true" widow, emphasizing the church's responsibility in supporting those who are genuinely in need. God's Compassion for Widows The Old Testament is rich with passages that reveal God's concern for widows. In Exodus 22:22, God commands, "You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child." This verse underscores His protective nature, ensuring that widows are not mistreated or neglected. Similarly, Deuteronomy 10:18 declares, "He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing." Here, God is depicted as a just and loving prov...

Called According to His Purpose: A Biblical Examination

  Called According to His Purpose: A Biblical Examination 📖 Introduction The phrase “called according to His purpose” appears in Romans 8:28 (ESV), a foundational verse that reads: “And we know that for those loved of God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.” This statement gives comfort and more—it is a declaration about identity, destiny, and divine intent. To be “called according to His purpose” means participating in God’s sovereign, redemptive plan. God's plan is being manifested through the church through the "new covenant in his blood" as it was established by the death of Jesus. The calling is not arbitrary or based on human merit, but is rooted in God’s purpose, eternal will and love. 🔍 The Nature of the Calling In Scripture, God's calling is effectual—that is, it accomplishes what He intends. Paul writes: "...those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified,...

Putting On the New Self

Putting On the New Self Theme: Spiritual Growth & Identity in Christ Key Scripture: “And to put on the new man, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” — Ephesians 4:24 (ESV) 🕊️ Day’s Reflection The Christian journey is not about becoming a better version of our old selves. It is about walking in The New Living Way , putting on the new man created in the likeness of God. Scripture calls us to put on the new man , and this call is not symbolic or abstract. It is a command grounded in spiritual truth and lived out in daily walking as Christ walked. 📜 Scripture for Meditation 2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV) “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” Ephesians 4:22–24 (ESV) “To put off your old man, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new man, created after the likeness of...
