The Bond of Perfectness

 Thoughts from the Sermon: 1 John 2:5-6 Exhorts us concerning the Love of God! “Whoso keepeth His Word, in him verily is the Love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him. He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He Walked.” Usually our thoughts are ‘no one is perfect!’ But as saints of God’s Love, committed to His kind of Love, this will bring perfection to our Life. Perhaps not the zenith of perfection, but a perfection in our Love for God as we walk out our life before Him! These questions come to mind as we explore Perfection as a Born-Again Believer. What are we Passionate about? What witness do we bear of His Love in us? How committed are we to following Christ? These are questions that need to stir our heart on occasion that we might grow in the things of the Lord! Christianity has wondered far away from total dedication.. Saints we need to strengthen our Love for God! It is good to stop on occasion and have a checkup as to how committed we are to God’s Love! To Journey with Jesus is a lifelong adventure. Trusting in Him, giving the battles of the ‘care of Life’ into His hands. Knowing that no matter the circumstances He will never leave us nor forsake us! Trusting in Him when the challenges of our day press us, but knowing He is beside us and we can trust Him! Let the church hunger for more of Him, more of His Powerful Word, and a Hope beyond the scrimmages of the enemy. May the thrill of serving Jesus – Loving Him override the works of darkness and despair, for in Him, His Love, we have the Hope of Eternal Life! Let us put on Charity, and walk in the Bond of Perfectness. “Now unto Him that is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the Power that worketh in us, Unto Him be Glory in the Church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” Loving you, Pastor
