Our actions ought to be in response to FATHER’S unconditional Love for us. Most believers think that FATHER’S Love for us is based on performance and this mindset based on conditional Love must change in order to reach full maturity.
Our mindset must have a foundation of unconditional Love in order to completely fulfill what is in our individual books written in Heaven before we were formed in the womb. FATHER gave us the freedom to choose what path we want to take while on this earth- one path leads to life and the other leads to death. As for me, I choose life and its abundance as I reach toward full maturity in Christ.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans Chapter 6:
16 Don’t you realize that grace frees you to choose your own master? But choose carefully, for you surrender yourself to become a servant—bound to the one you choose to obey. If you choose to love sin, it will become your master, and it will own you and reward you with death. But if you choose to Love and obey God, He will lead you into perfect righteousness.
17 And thanks be to God, for in the past you were servants of sin, but now your obedience is heart deep, and your life is being molded by Truth through the teaching you are devoted to. 18 And now you celebrate your freedom from your former master—sin. You’ve left its bondage, and now God’s perfect righteousness holds power over you as His Loving servants.
19 I’ve used the familiar terms of a “servant” and a “master” to compensate for your weakness to understand. For just as you surrendered your bodies and souls to impurity and lawlessness, which only brought more lawlessness into your lives, so now surrender yourselves as servants of righteousness, which brings you deeper into true Holiness.
What do Loving servants do? They seek to please their master in every aspect of their lives. This describes Loving Sons and Daughters who are fully mature in their walk. They seek to walk in righteousness and Holiness ministering FATHER’S Heart in every circumstance. The devil cannot do anything to you without your consent because your consent determines who you serve.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 10:
10 A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow!
Why would I choose any other path than life? Jesus made it so clear and if people around us cannot see the path we are on then we have not yet arrived at full maturity in Christ. The devil cannot do anything to thwart a mature Son’s walk. Jesus is proof of that. As we reach maturity in Christ, demons will simply look for weaker vessels to overcome and work through. They can no longer suppress the gifts in us which are meant to minister life to others.
Abundance is meant for distribution, not hoarding. Just consider if Jesus came to the earth and retained His abundance. What would have been the point? Love gives, lust hoards. We must keep our eyes on Jesus and His works in order to imitate Him as mature Sons and Daughters. Any church that loses their first Love will simply die and close the doors.
We need to cooperate with The Holy Spirit in order to promote life to others. We need to share our abundance of life with those who are suffering. They need to see the path that leads to life and its abundance. This is what unconditional Love does. As we do, FATHER will expand our influence in our communities and HIS Kingdom will flourish on earth. Life is all about expansion.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians Chapter 5:
11 Since we are those who stand in Holy awe of the Lord, we make it our passion to persuade others to turn to Him. We know that our lives are transparent before the God who knows us fully, and I hope that we are also well known to your consciences. 12 Again, we are not taking an opportunity to brag, but giving you information that will enable you to be proud of us, and to answer those who esteem outward appearances while overlooking what is in the heart.
13 If we are out of our minds in a blissful, divine ecstasy, it is for God, but if we are in our right minds, it is for your benefit. 14 For it is Christ’s Love that fuels our passion and holds us tightly, because we are convinced that He has given His life for all of us. This means all died with Him, 15 so that those who live should no longer live self-absorbed lives but lives that are poured out for Him—the One who died for us and now lives again. 16 So, from now on, we refuse to evaluate people merely by their outward appearances. For that’s how we once viewed the Anointed One, but no longer do we see Him with limited human insight.
17 Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new person. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new.
As we mature in Christ, our passion increases and so do our actions to benefit others.
The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st John chapter 3:
1 Look with wonder at the depth of the Father’s marvelous Love that HE has lavished on us! HE has called us and made us his very own Beloved Sons and Daughters. The reason the world doesn’t recognize who we are is that they didn’t recognize Him. 2 Beloved, we are God’s Children right now; however, it is not yet apparent what we will become. But we do know that when it is finally made visible, we will be just like Him, for we will see Him as he truly is. 3 And all who focus their hope on him will always be purifying themselves, just as Jesus is pure.
