What Great Love!
'What Great Love.'
1 John 3:1.
a) See what great Love the Father has given us.
b) That we should be called Children of God.
c) That is what we are.
d) The reason that the World system does not know us.
e) Is that it did not know the Father.
(This QT makes me proclaim: What Great Love!)
---------------------
'He Is Going To Come.'
Matthew 16:27.
a) The Son of Man is going to come.
b) He will come in the Glory of His Father.
c) Then He will repay everyone for what they have done.
(This Second one reminds me that He Is Going To Come)
---------------------
Chris.
The World system does not know the Father. It has no Godly principles. The Bible teaches us that the World system is filled with the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. It is ever so clear that the World system does not know the Father.
He Is The Lord!
'He Is The Lord.'
Isaiah 42:8.
a) He is the Lord.
b) That is His Name.
c) He will not yield His Glory to another.

--------------------
'According To Their Faith.'
Matthew 9:29.
a) Jesus touched the eyes of the two blind men.
b) It was obvious to Jesus that they had Faith to be healed.
c) Jesus said to them that according to their Faith.
d) Let it be done to them.
(This Second one teaches me that Jesus knows about my Faith: According to their Faith)
--------------------
Chris.
He is the Lord. This is one of the most important Proclamations of the Scripture. We often esteem human beings who have the title "Lord". We quickly give them the pre-eminence among us. How much should we respond.

Holy Communion Was Initiated By The Lord Jesus!
'Holy Communion Was Initiated By The Lord Jesus.'
Luke 22:19.
a) The Lord Jesus:-
1-Took the Bread.
2-Gave thanks.
3-Broke it.
4-Gave it to His Disciples.
b) He said that this was His Body given for them.
c) They were to take it in remembrance of Him.

-------------------
'Fulfilled In Us.'
Romans 8:4.
a) The Just and Righteous Commandment of the Law.
b) Might be fulfilled in us.
c) We do not live according to the flesh.
d) We live according to the Holy Spirit.
(This Second one: Fulfilled In Us, gives me a stronger desire to live according to the Holy Spirit)
-------------------
Chris.
The Lord Jesus gave the bread to His Disciples. I think that there are many times that I miss this when I am taking Holy Communion. It is very easy to take the serving and the server for granted and think we are simply 'getting' the bread. We need to ponder on the fact that originally this bread and wine came from the Hands of the Lord Jesus Himself.
He Is Righteous!
'He Is Righteous.'
1 John 2:29.
a) If we know that the Lord is Righteous.
b) We know that everyone who does what is correct.
c) Has been Born of Him.
(This QT reminds me that He is Righteous)
------------------
'Maintain Oneness.'
Ephesians 4:3-6.
a) Ephesians 4:3. Make every effort to maintain the Unity of the Holy Spirit in the bond of Peace.
b) Ephesians 4:4. There is One:-
1-Body.
2-Spirit.
3-Hope of our Calling.
c) Ephesians 4:5. There is One:-
1-Lord.
2-Faith.
3-Baptism.
d) Ephesians 4:6. There is One God and Father of all. He is above all and through all in all.
(Through this Second one I am urged to Maintain Oneness)
------------------
Chris.
We should always remember that there is One. One God and Father of all. To follow God's Will means that we are following one way. To be in Church should mean that we are one with all the other Brothers and Sisters there. There is One!

We are called to individually be lights in the World. This calling is from God through Christ. We are also as a Church locally to be a light to the local community and to the Mission field. Finally the True Church itself is called to be a light to the World system. God said: "Let there be Light ". I echo God's Call.

-----------------
Chris.
The Apostle made it easy to understand. We need to remember that in his times Apostle Paul was extremely well educated. Amongst those people around him he was of a high level. Even in his Jewish faith he had a high position. Through Christ his life was totally changed. He taught in a way that all Jews and Gentiles could understand.

c) They cannot understand or discern them.
d) Because they are discerned only through the Holy Spirit.
(This Second one shows me that They Are Spiritually Discerned)

Chris.
The desire of every True Believer is surely to have confidence and not be ashamed before the Lord Jesus when He appears. This appearing is something that every True Believer looks forward to.

We live in days where even 'Christian' people are often not concerned about God's Will and Word, especially if they are living comfortable lives. These people do not know Who and what they are missing. May God have Mercy on us all.
