We Are Secured In Gods Love

“May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!” Ephesians 3:17-19 Amplified Bible

We don’t just live in the Love of God, we actually know the love of our Father! We are rooted in it, we are secure in it, and we are one with it! We are strong in God’s love and it works through us in every area of our lives! Through the love of God, which we are now one with, we are filled with the richest measure of our Fathers Divine presence and we are bodies wholly filled and flooded with God Himself! This is how greatly God has accepted us, that we are filled with all of Him! Our Father has held nothing back from us! We live with the very glory that Jesus has. We now have the mind of Christ; we are now His body, His flesh, and His bones. We live with complete knowledge and wisdom because we now have the Holy Ghost dwelling within us, Who teaches us all things, and we live abundantly because we are filled with the fullness of God.

“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world.” 1 John 4:17

Jesus had all of these Truths fully realized within Him while He was on earth as a man, because God accepted Him and because He was One with God! And we have all of these Truths because our Father has now accepted us and because we are now one with Him through Jesus our Lord and Savior. Jesus had all of these things because He was perfect; He was born of God and He was God in the flesh! Well, we have been born again from God’s Incorruptible Seed, the same Seed that bore our Savior and raised Him from the dead has chosen and birthed us. We are now His body. Our Father accepts Jesus completely and we are now Jesus’ body, so God accepts us completely! Who Jesus is, we are, and what Jesus is, we are; we have been freely given these glorious attributes through grace. The only thing that Jesus has that we don’t, is sovereignty. Jesus is the Lord; we are the Lords body! He is the Christ; we are one with the Christ! Jesus is the Head, He is the Vine, we are the body and the branches, but everything else that He has, He has given to us! And we are secured and empowered eternally by our Father love, just as Jesus is!
