The Elect Sharing The Joy of Their Salvation

Colossians 3:9 ….…seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor un-circumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 12Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful….… We, the true believers in Christ, have been chosen by God… HE Loved us first, enough to part company with HIS son at the point of agony while Christ held the Sin of the World on His shoulders on that old Cross. That moment of separation from HIS Father, was dreadful and agonizing for this dear precious LAMB. God through His Son’s finished work, allowed Mercy to flow freely through this old world, so that no man would have to bear the pain of Hell. Christ paved the way for Grace to fall upon mankind, opening the door to Salvation through accepting His Blood Sacrifice in our stead. As we looked at in depth last week, on Resurrection Morning, we were brought to remembrance of the accusations, cruel treatment and abuse and the final act of crucifixion. He bore it all, so that we who believe would abound in the Joy of the knowledge of His FINISHED work on that cross. That through the Comforter that He then sent to us, that we would abide in Him, as though He were still with us physically. As Dear Brother Dunkel and I recently discussed – “It’s ALL About the Relationship”. He is with us folks, it’s about we start letting people know it! Show the JOY of Christ to the World, Share the Gospel of Christ with someone this week. It’s the week after Easter, let’s not get back into the old routines – Let’s remember everyday – HE CHOSE US, let us now Choose to share the JOY of HIS GOSPEL with a neighbor or co-worker this week. Let the world see your Relationship with the Prince of Peace… Dear folks, put on the full armor of God, for His return draws near – we want to be busy in HIS work.
