THE LOVE OF GOD

Judy asked me to post the Scripture God laid on her heart to share with us.

I John 5:3-4
For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His
commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.

How is everyone doing with scripture memorization, are you going back and reviewing? Review all the scriptures that have been posted in these last months and keep them fresh in your mind.

“I know of no other single practice in the Christian life more rewarding… than memorizing Scripture… No other single exercise pays greater spiritual dividends…”

WEARING HIS CLOTHES

This is Tonya's week to share a verse with us. She asked me to post it for her as her computer is having some "issues".... she tried but the computer wouldn't cooperate. She would like us to memorize the following verses.....

Colossians 3:12, 14
Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience..... And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.


As I read these verses Tonya asked me to share with you, I was reminded of something the Lord just showed me in the study of His Word, the meaning of Covenant. As He walked the earth in order to become our means of delivery from God's wrath, He clothed Himself in our humanity. How humbling that must have been for Him, I really have a hard time grasping what this must have been like for Him. He who created all things and for whom all things were created wrapped Himself in flesh.... All so we could clothe ourselves with His heavenly garments! In Covenant the Lord exchanged clothes with us!!! ... and going back to ancient times, this is one of the components of Covenant, you exchanged cloaks with the one you were entering into a covenant with. Because he "put on" our flesh, we can now "put on" His garments of holiness, compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, patience, and love!!! Wow!!!

Oh and for those who came to the Simulcast and the Junctions following the Simulcast.... there is that word again, kindness! :-)
