I know you desire to be perfect before God, but how possible is it?
You have done so many things in your quest to obey God and it's like
something is still missing. What do you do? This post gives you the
perfect bond that binds everything together completely.
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:48 KJV)
And
above all these [put on] love and enfold yourselves with the bond of
perfectness [which binds everything together completely in ideal
harmony]. (Colossians 3:14 AMP)
But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way. (1 Corinthians 12:31 KJV)
Love
never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether
there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will
vanish away. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the
greatest of these is love. (I Corinthians 13:8, 13 NKJV)
Truly,
you have been trying to please God and to live right, but things seem
not to be going the way you expected; you are not enjoying the blessings
of God which are your portion for obeying God. And you have wondered
what else haven't you done?
The challenge may lie on the strength
of your bond of perfection which is LOVE. Love is the connection that
fastens things together. No matter what you do, if there is no love, it
will yield little or no result. You can't be perfect without love. God
is love (1 John 4:8) and if you are to be like Him, then you need to
love as He does.
Everything answers to love. It is the fulfillment
of the law - Romans 13:8. Your quest for the gifts of the Holy Spirit,
the manifestations of the fruit of the Holy Spirit and the blessings of
God in your life are subject to the love of God in your life - 1
Corinthians 12:31 - 1 Corinthians 13:1-13
All your efforts,
services, seeds and sacrifices are futile without the perfect bond of
love. Love binds them all together to give an ideal harmony (Colossians
3:14), a sweet smell of savour acceptable unto God. It is what gives
taste to your life. Like in soup, love is the salt that brings out the
taste of other ingredients. Read more...
God's Glory
