Volume 5 Chapter 2 Page 3

"Thriving in HIS Present Glory!"

Romans 5:11 (Amplified Bible)
 
Not only so, but we also rejoice and exultingly glory in God [in His love and perfection] through our Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom we have now received and enjoy [our] reconciliation.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>|||<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Becoming a Believer in Christ begins with submission, an act of unselfish Obedience, as I realize what Christ Jesus did for me and all who seek to be reconciled in fellowship with God.

The Apostle Paul wrote these WORDs so that I might recognize what God's Love has done for me, for it is HIS Glory and Honor that a Believer must rejoice in and not in one's own accomplishments, as if that would count for anything eternal.

Christ Jesus, by HIS own Life and WORDs defined this Glory because HE submitted HIMself and was Obedient to HIS Father,

John 7:18 (Amplified Bible)
He who speaks on his own authority seeks to win honor for himself. [He whose teaching originates with himself seeks his own glory.] But He Who seeks the glory and is eager for the honor of Him Who sent Him, He is true; and there is no unrighteousness or falsehood or deception in Him.

Later, Paul writes of those things which he accomplished in Christ Jesus, being both Glorious and Eternal,

Romans 15:17 (Amplified Bible)
In Christ Jesus, then, I have legitimate reason to glory (exult) in my work for God [in what through Christ Jesus I have accomplished concerning the things of God].

Obedient to Proclaim the Gospel of Christ Jesus is that WORK which every Believer must labor in, seeking to honor only HIM in all that is and will be done, for it is HIS Present Glory which must be declared with boldness and such confidence as did many of the 1st century Believers in the church.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>|||<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

O'Lord, YOU surround me with YOUR Glory each day,
YOUR Love made Perfect in every way!
To YOUR Spirit must I submit my mind and will to live,
listening to HIS Voice of Wisdom and Truth YOU so lovingly give!!
Reconcile their hearts to YOU as a WORK which must be done,
leading them into Faith believing Christ to be YOUR Holy One!!!
I will Rejoice and forever Praise YOUR Name,
as Jesus did, then Obediently I must do the same!
For YOUR Honor and Glory must be declared with POWER,
Life in Christ, HOPE and Promise in HIM for this day and hour!

Forever and Amen!
