YES!! AMEN STEVE!! YES!! THIS IS IT!! AMEN!!
People should be able to see the work of Christ IN us. We don't need to wear our righteousness in robes or tote it around in books. The righteousness of God is in those who obey Jesus Christ, maintaining the fruit of the Spirit.
Sometimes I wonder though, ''Lord, is it enough?'' Is love enough to win people to Christ? Surely, I love all people and would see them be saved, but is love enough? YES!!! IT IS!!
But this love of Christ was not in word, but in deed and in truth!!! AMEN!! Jesus loved us right? Even when we didn't love him, right? And he died for us. Hmm. What greater love does one have than that he should lay down his life for his friends?
May Jesus bless us all with the love rooted deep in Christ, to become in his image. So the Lord God can say, these are my children, in whom I am well pleased!! Amen
May Jesus bless you.
