In Christ, we become the living temple of the living God! Citizens of Ephesus and Corinth may call their famous buildings 'temples. 'But those earthly buildings are empty lies, tombs made fancy only to cover up the deadness of the idols within. A temple's magnificence depends, not on its outward appearance, but on the majesty of the Holy God within. Most High God's very presence with us testifies to our reconciled condition. His Spirit certifies our new status: Yes, we really are royal sons! Yes, we truly inherit the kingdom of God!
This marriage to Christ gives us far more than rules. It gives us life! "There is now no condemnation" for us while we remain in Christ (Rom 8:1-4). His Spirit helps us to overcome sin (Rom 8:5-14). The result is that we enjoy complete salvation (Rom 8:15-39). Later, in Rom 10, Paul draws a contrast between Jews and Kingdom Citizens or Citizens of the Kingdom (True Christians). Jews sincerely try to obey the Law of Moses, yet they remain unsaved. Kingdom Citizens or Citizens of the Kingdom (True Christians) know that "Christ is the end of the law," and He gives them righteousness.
The days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is" (Ephesians 5:17)
Amen. Thanks for sharing this message and Amen. The days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is" (Ephesians 5:17).These are the end time signs.
What a blessing this man of God is. Sad that he was cut short in this life…..
The word that was made flesh, and the word that is God, are one…….
