From beginning to end it’s all about love. God loves us to
much to leave us the way we are, so He gives us His Spirit to manifest His
nature in us. The Apostle Paul called it being “conformed into the image of His
Son”... to be so molded and shaped inwardly by the implanted Christ life that
our outward expression becomes a reflection of His life. Much like the sun
reflecting on the water, we reflect the derived likeness of Christ from a
transformed heart, in thought... word... action, we express His nature. Only in
Christlikeness can we truly love with agapao love and fulfill the two great
commandments to love God and love others. I don’t think God is much concerned
with what label we impose upon ourselves, whether we are a vanilla or chocolate
denomination, movement X or independent Y, the only real abiding issue before
our loving Father is how much do we resemble His Beloved Son. This God of love,
who paid such an unthinkable price to draw us to His side and release His DNA
in us, do you really think there is anything more important to Him then seeing
the nature of Jesus take root and blossom in us, His blood bought children.
Nothing can separate us from His loving work in us, willing and doing His good
pleasure in our lives... nothing but our volition! Nothing but our conscious choice to maintain Self on the throne of our heart... to refuse to
align our heart with His heart... to willfully choose lovers less wild...
