PASSIONATE PURSUIT... HOW HE HAS LOVED US

​Ephesians 4
I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called.
With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Endeavoring to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace.
When we understand and comprehend with all the saints the purified love of Christ and the patients He has toward; He has looked past our faults to meet our needs for his love. Therefore, as his prisoner I stand in the unity of the Holy Ghost to walk worthy of the calling so that whether I am abased or whether I abound in Christ Jesus we are abstaining from all appearance of evil and not having our good be evil spoken of or suffering as an evildoer. We are called with a Holy calling.
Hebrews 3:1-6
Wherefore, Holy brethren; partakers of the Heavenly calling, consider the apostle and High priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who hath builded the house hath more honor than the house.
For every house is builded by some man, but he that build all things is God.
And Moses verily was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house  are we if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
As I consider the High Priest and apostle of my profession; he is the author and finisher of our faith. As I consider him as my high priest; He continues to advocate to the Father so that I ever please Him and do his will and purpose. He stands as the as the bread of life and as our lively hope. When I consider him as my chief apostle He has pioneered and paved the way of truth and righteousness for me in advance. The foundation is laid with him being established in every corner. He who began a good work in me will perform it. He will finish the work. He will confirm his word with works because he is faithful who hath called us. As Moses was glorified through signs, miracles, and wonders; so has our Lord Jesus by His Spirit been appointed to do greater works through us. Therefore in order to walk worthy of the calling we must take note of the words of John the Baptist who spoke that, “ I must decrease and His spirit must increase. We therefore walk in obedience that is no longer us, but Christ that reigns within us with lowliness and meekness, meaning with humility knowing who we are in Christ; carrying the cross with the  hope of salvation. In this walk we also longsuffer and forbear one another. Oftentimes being a royal priesthood means doing things for others that no one else but Jesus Christ would do. As the chief High Priest Jesus Christ gave his whole self. He reached down int the lowest places to deliver us from even ourselves. Remember, why we longsuffer and forbear because of the purified love, and we, too, desire that none should perish, but obtaining through belief in Christ, everlasting life.  #chasingafterhim #watchandpray #believe
