'Til we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ' (Ephesians 4:13).
Accepting Jesus as our personal Saviour from our sins is the best investment we could ever hope to make in our life. We are justified by our faith in Him on our acceptance of Him, and from that moment onwards begins the process of sanctification. This process does not cease until we all come together in the Christian unity, spiritual maturity and the conformity of Christ, unto that day when He returns for us. The Lord Himself, has prepared a way for us to unite in faith, to grow in grace, to attain a full knowledge of Him by furnishing each believer with spiritual gifts. The Holy Spirit bestowed upon us different gifts and talents to compliment and equip us for His service. Beholding Christ, we become change and want to characterise His life; His love; His kindness; His compassion; His holiness and His humility. We want to have the ability to forgive as He does; to have the right attitude to serve as He. Christ have a willingness to suffer wrongfully for our cause, we too should be willing to suffer wrongfully for His cause. Christ is acquainted with our sufferings and grief and is therefore able to relate to us on every point. He wants us to grow and spiritually mature in him as we look to Him in faith. As we spiritually mature in Christ, we attain the qualities of Christlikeness, seeking full growth as we become like Jesus. Let us grow in the knowledge of Christ and become one in truth, in belief and one in edifying each other, till we come to the unity of the faith, the knowledge of the Son of God, until we are all perfected to a measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.
Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...
