Nothing Separates Us From The Love of God

 what can separate us from the love of Christ? (Romans 8:35)

There is a agape love so deep, one without bounds, that surpasses human understanding that we can laid hold of. "In order that you have strength to accordingly together receive with all the saints what the breadth and length and height and depth, both to now the love of Christ and be filled to the fullness of God" (Ephesians 3:18-19). When we have strength because we have been founded, Ephesians 3:14-17, we can receive a love that is inseparable and leads us to maturity.

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things, love never comes to an end... (1 Corinthians 13:7-8)
This kind of love can be described as a deep, enduring love that remains strong even through tribulations, distress, persecution... essentially signifying a committed and unwavering bond that doesn't break apart, no matter the circumstances. It is a love that endures and is inseparable or never fails or ends. It is unbreakable, unlike the chain in the picture, no force is greater than God's love to break it.
now, to the extent all these (virtues) agape love that binds together to maturity (Colossians 3:14)
When faith is energized by love it strengthens us (Galatians 5:6). It is a guiding force in a our relationship with God leads to a state of completeness and unity (fullness), overcoming flaws and imperfections. These virtues compassion, kindness, gentleness, long suffering, bearing with one another, and forgiving each other come from love. Love is longsuffering, bearing, not arrogant or rude but gentle, it is not self-seeking, and forgives not keeping account of wrongs. When the fullness of love comes I put away childish things and become the son of God I am (1 Corinthians 13:8-12)

now, I know in part then I will fully know just as also known. Now at the present abides faith, hope, love, these three. Now the greatest of these is love (1 Corinthians 13:12-13)

The New Living Way

The New Living Way "... Now, at the present released from the Law, having died in that which held us captive, so that we serve in newness of Spirit and not the old written code " -- Romans 7:16 Paul states that we are now united to Christ in his death and also raised with him into newness of life. What held them captive was sin but also the Law, it was a guardian until the appointed time God would send a Messiah (see School Master ). Paul uses the metaphor of marriage to describe how we are released from the Law; like a wife whose husband dies, now she is released from the Law and can marry another, so also have we died with Christ and are released from the Law and bound to Christ in a new covenant. The purpose of this is that we live in a new living way of the Spirit and not fleshly through the old written code or Mosaic Law. " So then brothers, you also have died to the Law through the body of Christ to the extent you exist by creation of another, the one raising you f...

New Testament Growth in Christ: From Foundation to Fullness

  New Testament Growth in Christ: From Foundation to Fullness The New Testament presents a vibrant and multifaceted picture of spiritual growth, not as a static event but as a dynamic, lifelong journey for the believer. This journey, with emphasis on a strong foundation, progresses through a transformative process of maturity forged by endurance, ultimately aiming for the profound goal of experiencing the "fullness of God in Christ." The Foundation: A New Creation The inception of growth in Christ is marked by a radical spiritual new birth, a foundational shift that defines the Christian experience. It is not merely a moral reformation, but a divine act of creation. The apostle Paul declares this truth in 2 Corinthians 5:17 : " Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come ." This new creation is initiated by faith in Jesus Christ, where believers are justified and reconciled to God through His sacrifice. ...

The Tripartite Nature of Humanity: Spirit, Soul, and Body

The Tripartite Nature of Humanity: Spirit, Soul, and Body in Biblical Understanding The human being, as depicted in the Bible, is a multifaceted creation, often understood through the distinct yet interconnected components of spirit, soul, and body. While some theological perspectives lean towards a bipartite view (soul and body), which we do see in the Old Testament, a careful examination of the New Testament scripture reveals a compelling case for a tripartite understanding, where each is divided into or composed of three parts. Let’s explore the biblical distinction between spirit, soul, and body. The Body: Our Earthly Vessel The body is the physical form that interacts with the material world. From the very beginning, Genesis 2:7 states, " Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being ." This verse clearly establishes the body's origin from the earth, emphasizing its connec...
