"That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one; I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me."
John 17:21-23
After all that we have studied in the last several postings about our unity with God, I wanted to end up with these verses. After all of the verses that our Father has had us study together, do you see why Jesus can say that we are now perfect? Now here is the real question, do we actually believe it? Do we really accept that we are perfect because we are now in Jesus and that our perfection is based solely on Jesus and not on us? If we truly believe this, than through the power of Christ we are to go into all of the world and preach the Gospel that allows others to believe it as well. And if you do not believe that we are now perfect in Christ, try and go find the verses to prove that.
Either way, Jesus loves us and through His grace we are able to love each other. Pray for me and I will pray for you. Pray that the love of God is perfected in us, that He is glorified in everything we do, that our lives are a living proof of Him, and that in nothing shall we be ashamed! Pray that His strength is perfected in our weakness and also that the eyes of our understanding are enlightened and that together and as one in Him we are used to win the world! Jesus loves you so very much, and so do I! Be blessed and full in Him this day!
