Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock Matthew 7:24 The rock is Jesus Christ and the foundation of the revelation of God's love is the cross. Galatians 1:9 reveals that it is through the cross and that which Christ has eternally accomplished that our souls are saved and the revelation of Jesus Christ which the Holy Spirit so unfolds is through the divine intervention of the Father's love which divine grace has made possible LET US BE WISE BUILDING THEREFORE ON THE WILL AND PURPOSE OF GOD AND THAT WHICH HE REVEALS AND UNFOLDS Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you Ephesians 4:32 Because of the reality of the love of God available through Christ we likewise need to be quick to likewise forgive one another for the reality of God's love and forgiveness should ultimately cause us to likewise be truly willing to forgive others as well which is automatic if we keep our focus steadfast on Christ while absorbing the truths of God's Word THE FREEDOM OF FORGIVENESS RELEASES US FROM THE POWERS OF DARKNESS WHEREBY WE CAN ARE ABLE TO SET OTHERS FREE AS WELL |
