Grace for your spirit Feb 29. 2008

Grace for your spirit
For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin. . But I am afraid, lest as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds should be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. II Cor 11:2-3

Why was Paul such a great missionary for Christ? Paul didn’t just follow the rules, but he was so completely converted to Christ, that he shared the values God had instilled in him. He lived the life of purity, and his desire for everyone was to live that same purity. To be a pure bride for Christ. He was afraid that any of us might be deceived, and be led astray, and his mission was relentless. Do we share God’s values? Do we live God’s values, and teach them to others? May we never be found just going through the motions, but truly living for Him.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
