THE CHURCH THAT I KNOW THAT CHRIST JESUS DIED TO RAISED AND HE’S COMING BACK TO TAKE: IS BOUNDLESS IN HIS LOVE!
The Church that I know that Christ DIED to RAISED and He’s coming back to take, it’s the Church – WITHOUT WALLS. And it’s embodiment entails ONENESS in all things besides the constituent and diverse members. It’s the Church were greed and selfishness have no place; it’s the Church where segregation by race, colour and tongue have no place but are welcome, beautified and celebrated. It’s the Church without self-centredness but mirrored in the ONENESS of the *WE* and not the *I* and *THEM*.
This ONENESS is unique in this BLESSEDNESS:
** One Body
** One Faith
** One Lord
** One God
** One people
** One Nation
** One Body
** One Hope
** One Love
** One Calling
** One Baptism
** One REDEMPTION For ALL
** One Spirit
** One Christ
** One Father
** Father God Above All
** Father God Through All
** And Father God In All
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
“There is ONE body, and ONE Spirit, even as ye are called in ONE hope of your calling; 5 ONE Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism, 6 ONE God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all” Ephesians 4:4-6.
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and WE shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.
“For as the body is ONE, and hath many MEMBERS, and all the MEMBERS of that ONE body, being many, are ONE body: so also is Christ. 13 For by ONE Spirit are we all baptized into ONE body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into ONE Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the MEMBERS every ONE of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they MANY MEMBERS, yet but ONE body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those MEMBERS of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 and those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: 25 that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care ONE for another. 26 And whether ONE member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or ONE member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and MEMBERS in particular” 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.
“Therefore become IMITATORS of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]; 2 and WALK CONTINUALLY IN LOVE [that is, value one another—practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also LOVED you and GAVE Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance” Ephesians 5:1-2 (Amplified).
