2 Corinthians 13:14
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
Beloved,
Love, grace and faith are three forces that every believer should understand. In this series, we seek to understand them and how they work together.
Love planned it. If it is of God, it is of love. When love plans something, it includes you. By the nature of love, it is inclusive. Law on the other hand is by its nature exclusive. If you will base your relationship with God on law only, there will be many things you are excluded from. But the love of God is always seeking to include people. John 3:16 says “whosever”. That means that everyone is invited. Whoever is excluded chose to be. “Whosever” means that gender, race, or other criteria does not matter. The word “whosever” is seen repeatedly in the Bible because if it is of God, everyone is invited.
Grace brings what love has planned and your faith takes it. We will continue expounding on how these three forces work tomorrow.
I call you NATIONS. I call you blessed.
