Receive with faith

Receiving salvation through Christ by faith through His sufficient Grace begins the good work in us . The work of His Righteousness in us. A on going work of sanctification it is His work in us not by our might not by our strength but by His spirit.  God is an all consuming fire He purges and purifies.  He has called us to relationship " abide in Me" and I in you as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself,  except it abide in the Vine.  Jesus is the true vine and we are the branches. 

Think about what a vine is and represents.  A vine is the source of life giving nutrients.  And Jesus is the life giving source that has empowered us by His grace to bear much fruit, too reflect His character . The more we abide in Him the more we will reflect His character . Abiding is union with Him . One body one spirit.

We have been bought with His precious blood  He has made us a new creation in Christ .He is our abiding power that empowers us with the fruits of His spirit proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.  Jesus is the abiding power that empowers us to overcome sin. 

There must be more than mental acceptance this free gift must be more than talk more than just a comforting thought or concept more than a feeling.  Calling on His Name and recognizing Him as Lord and allowing Him to be Lord of our life are two different things.  One can confess with their mouth Jesus is Lord,  and that should result in a lifestyle confession denying ourselves taking up our cross daily and following after Him,  walking in His ways presenting our body a living sacrifice Holy and acceptable unto God.  Selfless service loving those who don't love us back.  God is An all consuming fire faith in Him activates His power in our life. This free gift ought of salvation ought to be worked out with fear and trembling.  He must increase we must decrease. Please do not receive the Grace of God in vain.  We are instructed in the Book of Peter to grow in Grace. Growth in Grace has results when we submit to God with our whole heart. Fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on Eternal life.

May we increase and abound in love toward one another and be unblameable in Holiness before God at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all Saints. May we hold fast that which is good, and our whole soul spirit and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. May we be counted worthy of this calling and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power that the Name of  our Lord Jesus Christ may be Glorified in us and us in Christ. May we follow after righteousness, Godliness,  faith, love patience and meekness in Jesus Name. Amen
