Some common joy found in belief and resultant faith from the establishment of His Word in our Hearts. Have we ever been one body? Not that I have seen, but my perspective matters only as one appendage, organ or sinew. For I am not the body nor the directive head but a working member of the living vessel of Christ Jesus. I long to see you sure, filled with hope, waiting upon the outcome of God’s Faithful Promise.

Let it not remain what I want for you but what the Word prescribes that all should see and know. For the invisible things of God are seen by the entire world. Our failure as the beloved to acknowledge the Sovereign Hand upon our hearts and lives is greater abomination that for those of the disobedient to look away. We have known Grace, forgiveness and the mercies of Life Everlasting following this brief set of trials.

Yes, the spirit of disobedience grows in this world as few respond to the call of God upon hearts and minds. Most crave, most lust, most desire and conspire for their greatest contentment found in the realization of personal dreams. Oh, that we would see God’s Plan and know in our core that all the blessings He has planned for each of us amount to the greatest things that may ever happen to man or wife.

Seek not the pleasure of watching as voyeur those who disobey God for this is compounding personal sin in the infection of the world around. Do not profess yourself wise but humble yourself before the Truth, Honor and Power of God Almighty. Bow before the Judgment Seat of Christ Jesus. Know in your hearts that all your actions for everlasting are found in the duty, gifts and service to the coming Kingdom of God.

In denial of self we hope together for hearts that neither stray, wander or falter before the tasks and trials of this world, but yearn for the fulfillment in everlasting. Lord let our hearts be quicken in the long-suffering and enduring forbearance that lead to repentance, forgiveness and cleansing in righteousness. The great day of our ascension is found in being presented spotless, untainted before the King of Glory.

What does conviction give to man that makes him obey? Does the law remind, make clear or forbid pursuit of sin? No, the Law shows us our reflection against God’s commands. We are imbued with the choice to comprehend the severity of our dilemma and seek succor in Christ Jesus or turn away in our own desire to remain the same. That choice made wisely leads to further faith in knowing how to love God through obedient and reasonable service.

May we rejoice now in nuanced clarity of understanding that we may be presented before Jesus in faith, hope and blamelessness, spotless before our smiling King. How does our lineage to the failed faith of our Fathers accomplish any of this task if we are not yet ready to commit our lives to Christ Jesus? Taking a walk in the direction of Spirit, leading us to the place of our Divine Service for the King. Then and only then do we find the Truth in belief. Time for me and you to rejoice in the Doing of all that God has promised.
