Build Up In The Love Of Christ

Daily Devotions:
by Christina Farris

Acts 20:32-33 KJV
32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.

God's grace Is able to build you as individuals and also the spiritual church. The foundation of God's love to the world must be established and it established by God's grace for the world he sent his Son(Jesus) to all that would believe in him would not perish but have everlasting life.(John 3:16 summarized). John 3:16 never speaks of the cross or cross to come. Yet Jesus is speaking to a believer of God whose name Nicodemus and his title was a scribe. No doubt Nicodemus was still wrestling with the idea Jesus was the Messiah. Nicodemus would help in Jesus burial along with Joseph of Arimathaea(John 19). Why is the cross part of belief perhaps because with the resurrection we see our own hope of eternity. First as we believe and repent of our sin, but also the love of God that allowed it to happen for the world because of his love. His love saying believe and obey despite the cost. Love we speak is Christ love and God the Father's love for man. Some people get saved when their young. Before receiving Christ this unconditional love may not be understood beyond what is perceived. The more weight of sin and forgiveness often allows a person a glimpse of God's love for them. Some building on love is instantaneous, while the love of God for each of us not realized without the journey of faith and the walk of the believer. We have to grow in the knowledge of God's grace and ubderstanding past the verse John 3:16.

The tolerance and love for the church should be a demonstration of God's compassion.Want to see a church grow it must grow in the love of God first individually effecting the church as a whole. Condemnation from the believers is only necessary in cases where sin within the church is causing more sin and corruption as a whole within it. You should not allow the devil to thrive or to steal from God.

Dear Heavenly Father grow your people in the love of Christ first learning Christ individually and the love of God in a group. May Christ love thrive in the Spiritual church. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

Continual Scripture Study: Ephesians 4:14-16 KJV
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

Ephesians 4:27-32 KJV
27 Neither give place to the devil.
28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
