Ephesians 6:21-24

Now that you may know how I am and what I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord [and His service], will tell you everything. I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may console and cheer and encourage and strengthen your hearts. Peace be to the brethren, and love joined with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). Grace (God’s undeserved favor) be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with undying and incorruptible [love]. Amen (so let it be). Ephesians 6:21-24

Our Love and our Faith both come to us and operate through us by God. The Bible tells us that perfect Love will drive all fear from us of us. We are told that Love covers a multitude of sins and that Love will never fail us in any way shape or form. We are told that Faith as small as a grain of mustard seed can blow a mountain into the sea and our peace is that it is our Father Who Authors and Finishes both through us. As we have studied God will not only give us Love and Faith, He will give them to us above all that we can ask for, pray for, dream of, or even imagine. We are blessed beyond expression and our Father will always cause us to be victorious. Faith come to us by hearing these Truth’s and these Truth’s set us free.

For the love of Christ controls and urges and impels us, because we are of the opinion and conviction that [if] One died for all, then all died; And He died for all, so that all those who live might live no longer to and for themselves, but to and for Him Who died and was raised again for their sake. 2 Corinthians 5:14-15

But concerning brotherly love [for all other Christians], you have no need to have anyone write you, for you yourselves have been [personally] taught by God to love one another. 1 Thessalonians 4:9

Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2


Today is the Day of our Salvation and now is our accepted time, so today is the Day that our Father is pouring His Love into our hearts so that we may know the breadth, the length, and the height of it. Today our multitude of sins have been completed covered and blotted out. Today all of the ordinances and laws that were against us have been nailed to the Cross and they have been completely done away with. Today the Love of Christ controls us and His Faith actively works through us and they don’t because we have accepted them or allowed them to, they do because our Father has willed it to be so. Our Father’s Grace has willed that He be great in us and our victory is not dependent on us, it is all dependent on Him. God is willing and able to carry out all that His Word has proclaimed.
