Opis

"In life, we must aspire to abide in faith, hope and most importantly, love; all three things that are gifts from God. In regards to continuing in these three most precious gifts, means to embody the expressed heavenly character of those gifts."
JESUS CHRIST tells us, "As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you: abide in My love." The covenant the Lord made with His saints through the blood of Christ is one we are committed to by abiding faith, hope and love. The walk of all Christians is summed up in these three holy gifts. In a comparative tone, similar to the Proverbs, and exhortative as in the Epistles, this work shows not only the importance and connectivity of these three heavenly gifts, but also the folly involved when not abiding in them. Our focus on Jesus is maintained in the abiding: for these gifts are ones that keep on giving to those who abide them. God the Father wishes to make us whole persons through them in order to make us holy as He is holy. Through our commitment to Christ we can expect to:
Experience the freedom of His righteousness in our lives
Become more attuned to the presence of His Spirit at work in us
Live according to the fruits of the Holy Spirit that bring delight to God
Be at complete peace and utter contentment within every facet of our lives
Discern the depth, and width and height of His love, and be able to share it
Possess a faith alive in good works which grow the kingdom of heaven
Be transformed into a new person which emulates the character of God
Through His grace, as our relationship with the Lord grows, so does our ability to abide increases. Because God is faithful to us, so does our faith grow when we abide. As the Lord's Word is true and His promises are sure, so our hope does grow congruently with that assuredness. And as unequivocally as the Lord loves us, our love for Him can know no boundaries, and be expressed with the liberty of grace when we abide."
