• “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness towards us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:4-10 (NKJV)

YESHUA/JESUS always enacted only good works; and YHWH (with inserted vowels YAHWEH transliterated JEHOVAH commonly interpreted the LORD) has also drawn us to Himself through the redemptive work of His only begotten Son for good works (read – Colossians 1:13 -14). That is, each person reconciled unto the Family of God by the blood of Jesus has a God-given assignment regarding establishing the LORD God’s Covenant on earth as it is in Heaven. In other words, sons & daughters of the LORD God by the Blood are called to bring order to chaos through the leading of the Holy Spirit by God’s mighty power within. For the redeemed are the only ones through which various aspects of the anointing empower or enables us to bind and cast down or stop the manipulations of the devil and his cohorts, with authority in the Name above every name (read – Matthew 18:18; Ephesians 1:19-21 & 3:20). The redeemed are salt and light on earth, commissioned to “fulfill the dominion mandate” (read – Matthew 5:13-15; Genesis 1:26-28).  

Jesus the Christ walked in perfect obedience to the will of God the Father on behalf of all mankind. Throughout the Lord Jesus’ earth-bound Ministry of approximately three years and toward completing the Mission for which He was sent by God the Father, He eliminated whatever neither existed in Heaven nor a representative thereof: JESUS turned water into wine, healed the sick, raised the dead, fed the hungry, cast out demons, calmed the storm, had Peter get their tax money out of a fish’s mouth, dried-up a barren tree from its roots, and more. Yet every miracle the Lord Jesus enacted were supernatural events (God’s super on man’s natural) that pointed people toward God the Father. Moreover, every miracle of Jesus the Messiah was enacted by faith which works by love (read – Galatians 5:6); “acts of love by The One Who is Love”.  The Lord Jesus said that we would do even greater works (read – John 14:12); accomplished by the God-kind of faith operated by the God-kind of love.  

The redeemed are in the world but not of the world. Therefore, we don’t “go along” with worldly behavior regardless of popularity. Judgement of the un-saved or the lost will be at the Throne of the LORD God, and judgement of the saved or redeemed will be at the Throne of the Lord Jesus. Nevertheless, the redeemed discern the type of fruit evidenced by the ongoing renewal of the mind in the Word of God through the Teaching of the Holy Spirit; hence the ability to recognize behavior contrary to the way of the LORD God. The redeemed are to BE producers of the good fruit and do in the way of the LORD God which is to act as the righteousness of God “in Christ” by the leading of the Holy Spirit whose Ministry returned to earth after the Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus the Christ. The Holy Spirit and salvation are inseparable. As succinctly stated by another, “The Holy Spirit is the Agent of Manifestation.”¹  

• “But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, He will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control.” Galatians 5:22-23 (NLT).

• “Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.” Ephesians 5:1 (NKJV)

• “Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.” 1 John 3:1 (NKJV)

• “But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” Jude 20-21 (NKJV)

Prayer – “LORD God, Abba Father, may my love abound more and more and extend to its fullest development in knowledge and all keen insight [that my love may display itself in greater depth of acquaintance and more comprehensive discernment]. So that I may surely grasp what is vital and of real value; that I may be sincere and without offense until the day of Christ Jesus’ return [neither stumbling nor causing others to stumble]. And that as a branch in the Vine who is Jesus, I bear much fruit to the honor, praise and glory of You, with thanksgiving in Jesus’ Name. Amen.” Philippians 1:9-11 (AMP) and personalized.
