In Christ we want as believers and true disciples to know more better of the Father through revelation of the Son in the Holy Spirit. All this takes place in Scripture which reveals Christ within as we read of the Gentle Savior and make the heart abandoned connection to commit and abandon all to follow this Risen Christ Jesus, our Savior. Having surrendered, confessed we are sinners first and having been saved by grace thereafter we worship God giving all the glory to Him. Kingdom of God life principles Jesus taught in the Parables give us cause to reflect and apply to our lives then as we want to become sanctified. We want ears that hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. By a new and living way opened by His Blood we are drawing near to God through the Son, the Christ in the New Covenant. We have this hope as an anchor of the soul both sure and steadfast. His Body was Given for us that we might be made whole complete.

Have you met this Friend in person? There is a song called, "I am the Friend of God,... He calls me Friend!!!!" ...It goes, "Who am I that You are thinking of Me, that you love me..." I'm sorry excuse me folks, but I get enormously emotionally stirred and so elated happy when I think in awe how God can be my friend.  And He is, for I'm born from above. In heaven I will never think a wrong thought and I'll love everbody and be able to walk through walls and be completely free of this life's encumbrances and entanglements of sin. Can we make the sure Word apply more practically and list encumbrances and entanglements that tempt us as well? Can we not say by this list, "Following Jesus is no easy smooth picnic but we know Eternal Life is a gift of God by faith through grace, to those gifted (by becoming saved) who call on the Name of the Lord." Daily we seek to be clothed with this gift. The race must be won to the end (Greek Teleiosis for the end of the process - perfection, in eternity) and that means follow to Christ with your heart withersoever He goes and heartily with purity before God. It's not He that ends with the most toys wins. It's He that ends at ends enduring to the end. It's living up to the Holy Standards of God's Holiness until Christ calls us home without slip ups and loopholes. We need Christ's help through the Holy Spirit effectually efficaciously for this. Until that time of confirmed righteousness (in eternity) when lamb will lay down with lion just look unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith and be holy as He is Holy as a sought state or condition. (In hell they will lift their head in torment where the fire is not quenched and the worm does not die. Worm is awareness.) Be one (homotheumadan-Grk. for one in heart) and love others with God's love by compassion and sacrifice. God gave us natural life and counts on us to be reborn to a New You, Holy, Righteous, Abundant, in Life in His Son, the King of Kings, Christ Jesus. Born once, die twice (hell and the lake are the second death.) Born twice, die once (natural death or the Rapture.) "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, a bulwark never failing, He our helper amidst the flood of mortal ills prevailing."
