Salvation and Meekness

Salvation and Meekness

Salvation and Meekness-

“…receive the implanted word in meekness,
that is able to save your souls”
James 1:21

The true salvation of God is realized as an individual receives Christ Himself. Mere confessions of belief, formulas and the doctrines of men, have clouded the mystery and wonder of God’s gracious gift.

In our receiving the IMPLANTED Word in the spirit of meekness, we begin the journey into the full salvation God has purposed. Only Christ can free the heart from its misery and emptiness. There is salvation in no other. Meekness is the temper of the heart that recognizes its need for the grace of God.

Christ for the nations is the only hope for humanity. Political aspirations are as impotent as the human nature by which it seeks to rule.

Power without meekness
is the bane of human history.

“For the fruit of the Spirit
is in all goodness and righteousness and truth.”
Ephesians 5:9 (LITV)

“As Christ has a Gospel, Satan has a gospel too; the latter being a clever counterfeit of the former. So closely does the gospel of Satan resemble that which it parades, multitudes of the unsaved are deceived by it.”

True Holiness

the invitation -

“God’s holiness is no barrier
but an encouragement to repentant sinners”
F.B. Meyer

There is within the magnificence of the Holy God a love that ever reaches, searches and calls unto His creation with the invitation to come and find the rest of His Life abiding within.

“Come unto me,
all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest”
Matthew 11:26

The Nature Of Love

The Nature of Love

the nature of love

God’s Love, by its very nature, is an active and creative power within the soul of man. Creation is proof of God ever seeking, ever desiring to expend and lavish His love in new dimensions. The Word declares that we were “created for His pleasure,” and it is His pleasure to pour out Himself in unmeasured and unmerited means. His Love in us seeks, desires, and ever works to color everything within its reach, not to own, rule, or control but to inspire others to live fully in God.

The infinite and all-encompassing God whom our forefathers sought with passion calls us to depths unknowable and heights unsearchable.

“Deep calleth unto deep”
Psalm 42:7

The Love of God is the call, and His Love in man is the response.

“We love Him because He first loved us.”
1 John 4:19

frill-

“He said “Love…as I have loved you.”
We cannot love too much.”

Righteousness

Righteousness

righteousness---

“Righteousness in the true sense of the original language means that we become all that HE has purposed for us individually. It is something far more than moral excellence or a religious code of ethics.  It is the living wonder wrought within us by the receiving of Christ Himself.”

Walk On

Walk On
When obscurity clouds our way,
And our confidence becomes uncertain.
Introspection brings dismay,
And doubt draws its dark curtain.

The pilgrim leans upon the past,
in the midst of present sorrow
Faith in Him:
———–the First and Last
through today unto tomorrow
——Walk On
until all earthly shadows are past
——in the countenance of the Son.

Walk On
