'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 🌹🌹
'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more
