REHMA WORD BYTED #7 Part 2
The Believers identity of righteousness in Christ Jesus:The Agape/love of God.
If you have not read part 1 of this series, please do for a foundational overview. Relax, feed your spirit to renew your mind.
The foundation of our identity as children of God (John 1:12, 1 John 1:3) new creations (2 cor. 517) IN CHRIST and much more, is born IN/From THE LOVE (AGAPE) OF GOD (John 3:16) This Love manifested in and through the finished (John 3:16, Romans 5:8) redemptive blood sacrifice of The Lord Jesus is humanity's greatest need: redemption, acceptance, forgiveness etc, born of love.. This is evident in Jesus' commandmentt to the church/all believers to go into the entire world preaching the good news ( gospel) of God's grace ( Acts 20:24) to lost humanity.
The love of God for humanity is the GREATEST REVELATION needed to be born again/ saved and for progressive spiritual growth/ maturity in grace (2Peter 3:18) The Lord Jesus in His prayer for all believe is that we will know (come to a place where that knowledge becomes revelation and is rooted and grounded, settled in our soul) that The Father loves us to the same measure/degree/extent as He loves Jesus (John 17:23: read it) Paul reiterates this truth in Ephesians 3:14-19. The love of our Heavenly Father for The Head of The church (Christ) is of the exact same measure as The body of christ ( The church) Every measure of love and blessing in redemption The Father has bestowed on Jesus (The Head) is also bestowed upon and belongs to His body The :Ekklesia ( John 16;15, Ephesians 2:2-23, 2Peter 1:3-4) Embrace (believe and walk in) God's love for you.
The blessing of the benefits we have inherited in our union with and In Christ is an amazing expressiion of The Fathers love whose pleasure it is and has given us the Kingdom (Luke 12:32) If Believers/Christians would embrace by faith, the full measure of The Father's love and all His love provided for us In Christ (2 peter 1:3-4): eternal firgiveness of our sins, Oneness with God and access to HIS presence (Romans 5:2, Hebrews 4:16, Ephesians 1 3-23) and much more, they would stop living as orphans, paupers/beggers as though still under the Old Covennt trying hard to fulfill ( the impossible) in the flesh (Galatians 3:1-3) what The Lord Jesus fully fullfilled/accomplished in The spirit by His redemptive blood sacrufice.
1 Peter 3:18 admonishes believers to grow in the grace (Love) and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the one who came to reveal The Father. Growing in grace is a lifestyle founded on fellowship with God based on the finised work of Jesus as revealed in scriptures. Too many believers have a distorted image of the divine nature and love of The Father. God loves us because He is love (1John 4:8) His love for you/us is unchangeable because that is His divine nature. Agape is who God is and God can only act in accordance with His divine nature. God's nature of love and every other aspect of the Divine Nature does/Agape is immutable (Malachi 3:6, James 1:17, Psalms 102:25-27, Hebrews 13:8)
Grace was manifested and demonstrated because Love/Agape was given. God's love for us is not based on what we have done or can ever do for Him. Our ability to do the things that are plleasing in His sight comes from His Grace/Christ in us ( Phillipians2:13) God loved us while we were still sinnners/spiritually dead (Romans 5:8) and the question is asked: Wil he not also with Him freely give us all things? HE HAD, HE DID (2 Peter 1:3, Ephesians 1:3-34, 1Timothy 6:17)
It's very sad to see the state of some believers today when it comes to their believe/ perspective of God's love for them. This situation is made worst by pastors and leaders in various denominations still dressed in old testament/covenent gards preaching the covenant of law which breeds condemnation (Romans 3:19-28) rather than the liberating message of grace which alone brings believers the freedom to live a life of righteousness,: love, holiness, santification, freedom from the dominion of sin (Titus 2:11-13, 1 Cor 15:34, Romans 6:14-×3 ) which is pleasing to God. The only way we can please God is to live life by HIS grace through the measure of faith (Romans 12:3) we received when we first believed deoending on Christ The Son of God's love for us.
If you are struggling with the truth of God's love for you, meditate on these scriptures in addition to the ones prior to give you the true measure of God's love for you.
God loves you with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3 )
God did not spare HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON the agony of the cross for your sake (Romans 8:32-35, John 15:13))
As a child of God, your sonshiop is founded in God's love sealed in Christ (1John 3:1)
Nothing can seperate you from the love of God (Romand 8:35-39) for you In Christ Jesus.
There is no greater manifestation of love that has and will ever be demonstrated than God giving His only begotten son to die for spiritually dead humans Jesus said that in John 15:13-15. Our worth is not measured by the abundance of things we posseses (Luke 12:15) but specifically by the love of God for us in christ manifested in His death, burial and resurrection. Love is not defined by how much we love God (We should) but by how much God loves us as defined in 1 John 4:10 Ampl
10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation [that is, the atoning sacrifice, and the satisfying offering] for our sins [fulfilling God’s requirement for justice against sin and placating His wrath].
The divine nature of God and the expression of His love for us is so infinitely inexhaustible (Ephesians 3:14-20) that it will take eternity to continually unfold. Read Ephesians 2:2-9 and note verse 7 which says
Ephesians 2:7 Amplified Bible
7 [and He did this] so that in the ages to come He might [clearly] show the immeasurable and unsurpassed riches of His grace in [His] kindness toward us in Christ Jesus [by providing for our redemption].
The immeaurable and unsurpassed riches of His grcae and kindness for us in Christ started the moment God gave and we as His children began that experience of union in this life. Align yourself to Know HIm. God will never love you more today than HE did yesterday or will ever do tomorrow and for all eternity. His love for you/us is eternally perfect, constant, unchanging and of the same measure as The Father loves The Son. God loves you💕Now respond to His love.
Shalom.
