The Fruits of The Light: Goodness, Righteousness and Truth.
Two of my greatest spiritual experiences that I have still continue to yield life-changing results in my life on a regular basis. The first is God offering and then granting me soul salvation, and the second is God’s unconditional love for me as I continue to work out my soul salvation moment by moment.
Today’s blog post is gleaned information that I was drawn to in my continued reading and study of the Book of Ephesians, chapters 3-6. The contents of this blog post
After reading these three chapters, I was moved deeply to pray that each believer in The Messiah to seek after and forever abide in God’s Love. Neatly hidden within the many lines of the apostle Paul’s manuscript is the often-time forgotten reality that we have been granted the ‘divine privilege of membership within the Kingdom of God.’ In our very busy lifestyles and multiple very important responsibilities, we have to be reminded by
At least in my own reading of these selected chapters, I am very humbled by the stated reality that God must endow the follower with the ability to learn, to know, and to experience this real and much needed spiritual blessing of agape and the life reformation that is made possible by this only absolute love.
God’s love unlike that of human love is unconditionally directed toward our needs and not our faults, human fallacies
Receiving, learning, and growing in God’s love is all the encouragement and spiritual empowerment that we need in this current evil generation, to imitate God by living a lifestyle of Love. This Life of God produces the Fruit of the Light in these ways: Goodness, Righteousness, and Truth!
God’s will for His people is in always, try to determine what will please the Lord our God. We are commanded to have nothing to do with, any or all evil deeds that are a by-product of the darkness within the heart of the individual. As children of light, we are to expose those shameful things spoken or done in darkness and or secret. In all truthfulness, this exposure is to be directed within our own hearts, each moment, each day, throughout our Walk in The Messiah.
We who are walking in Love are to be forever careful while practicing spiritual discernment and wisdom in how we conduct our private and public lives. Just how are we to live?
We are to living wisely; we are to treasure time, we are to walk in the pursuit of the will of The Lord in all matters, and to do good works throughout our lives.
My final words of encouragement to you is we all must remain deeply yoked in The Messiah throughout these evil and perilous times. Is not our battles two-fold, spirit and flesh, those things that we see and don’t see? We are commanded to use all the protection and spiritual weapons that God provides us as we live out loud our faith as Children of Light among this dark age.
Please God, bend our heart toward the eternal wisdom and instructions of The Kingdom of Heaven, and far away from selfish wisdom and personal gain. Turn our eyes away from worthless things, with Your ways My Lord, grant each of Your people Life! Oh Holy Father, please fulfill Your promises, which You made to your servant, which you made to those who fear you. [Psalms 119:36-38]
