The Apex of God's Love

1 John 4:16 We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.

If we were ask what is the apex of God's love, the greatest expression of God's love what would we answer? Well, before we answer that question, let us recall that God defines Himself as love, he does not define himself by knowledge, power, a healer, a genius, but love, which if we are honest is a very lowly term, is it not?

1 John 4:8 He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.

We are also told that love, i.e., God cannot fail. Most would think and say God cannot fail, but not so much love cannot fail in a world that eats up people who are innocent like animals feeding on flesh!

Psalms 144:4 Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away.

Defining God as love, if we are honest, put us and human love on the back burner of the stoves, not the main dish.

1.)
But what is the apex of God's love? The highest point of God who calls himself love, not mankind, but God that defines himself as love? Well, shockingly to most of us, it is “grace”, that is, lets put it in another term, unmerited kindness, and/or undeserved kindness.

Zechariah 4:7 Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of 'Grace, grace, to it!'"

Zechariah 12:10 I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they will look to me{After "me," the Hebrew has the two letters "Aleph Tav" (the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet), not as a word, but as a grammatical marker.} whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.

But what is the weakest thing for mankind on earth in their flesh this is not a trick question? It is God's grace, his unmerited kindness, and/or undeserved kindness.

The flesh, that is, the human race would not be in existences if the rule of law in the flesh was undeserved kindness.

2 Peter 3:18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

Not one government, religion, or commerce would continual to function with its single highest point of law/rules in grace! Now we know why Christ stated he was no part of this world, for Christ was, and is, God's grace too us sinners!
2.
2 Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen.

Galatians 5:4 You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

Without Grace There Is No God!

In fact, nothing on this earth created from sin entering into this world can know the God of love, unless they have learned the grace of God first! So we can say without grace there is no God for mankind, without grace we have nothing but false religion earning God's love as all flesh earns love on earth by merit.

Ephesians 2:5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved)

Subsequently, all religion created by man from his own heart rather they use the word of God or not, is merit based worship, it is a worship of works of being obedient to laws of the bible, and/or a religious dogma, making all religion part of this world.

Ephesians 2:8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.

Defining Grace

Grace is truly the highest point of God's love, nothing proves God is love like grace. God's Son Christ Jesus loved his Father YHWH to such an everlasting depth that he empty himself into a slaves form, actually into captivity of human flesh under sin to please his Fathers YHWH.

3.
Philippians.2:5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus, 2:6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, 2:7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
2:8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.

He suffered immensely, not having sin, being made into corruption of sin found in all humans minds, hearts, and souls, above all esle Christ knew the righteousness and the love of his Father perfectly. To be held captive without choice to sin, caused untold suffering to the Son of God.

Heb.5:5 So also Christ didn't glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, "You are my Son. Today I have become your father."{Psalm 2:7}

Heb. 5:7 He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,
5:8 though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered.
5:9 Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation.

Christ did not need God's grace, his undeserved kindness, because Christ was sinless, he was not seen as evil person under sin by his Father, for God is love, he does not impute or created laws for his righteous children that are without sin.

1 Peter 2:22 who did not sin, "neither was deceit found in his mouth."{Isaiah 53:9}

4.

1Tim.1:9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1:10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;

Grace can only apply to those that are not deserving of such love of the Father, who cannot please God, because they inherit sin from Adam. So God must step in from his own love, and send them perfect merit of a precious life that loved God perfectly without laws that judge all sinner of unrighteousness, to give them the same equal treatment.

Romans 5:21 that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:14 For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.

Romans 4:4 Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as debt.

God in his highest point of love gave us the merit of Christ life so we might come to know God as our Father. That is why grace is called God's unmerited kindness towards us.

Acts 20:32 Now, brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where the context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} I entrust you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up, and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

5.

What do God's Holy Angels Desire to Know?

This is the apex that all those leaving before Christ, God's faithful prophets, kings, and peoples long for, longed to be apart of. Moreover, the depth of God's love expressed in undeserved kindness is what the angels desire to peer into with great interest to see something so foreign to any human life on earth in sin that they might see what was never revealed to them, God's magnificence grace towards us sinners.

1Pet.1:2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

1Pet.1:10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
1:11 searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, pointed to, when he predicted the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that would follow them. 1:12 To them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, they ministered these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.

Lets put it this way? Truth cannot be known without us knowing the apex of God's love grace!

How Do We Learn Grace?

Few understand how Christ was perfected eventhough he was not a sinner on earth? Christ was made into “the likeness of sin” for us sinners.

6.

Rom.8:3 For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;

In that state, a state never experienced by Christ until God's anointing of him by His Spirit at the start of his ministry at the age of 30-years old.

John 1:29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

Galatians 1:4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father--

1 Peter 2:24 who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

He then carried the sins of men, of mankind in that condition he fought with the condemnation of sin never experienced before as a person as the Son of God.

Christ learned for himself the apex of God's love, unmerited kindness, grace, and/or undeserved kindness in those trials, although, he need not grace, but the experience of the apex of God's love so he could express the same towards us when he was made into the likeness of God as our high priest.

Hebrews 2:17 Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

7.

Thus, perfecting of faith is learned in grace under suffering of sinful flesh. Without suffering one cannot know the truth, the truth is God, who is love, and the apex of God's love is his grace towards us!

Hebrews 5:1 For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

Hebrews 5:3 Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself.

Angels need not grace they have not felt the power of death in them from sin. They can't imagine that God can love sinners out of themselves by the power of grace. The power of God is expressed in his grace.

2 Corinthians 4:10 always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

Flesh cannot know grace, grace is living and can never perish or die, it is the Christ

Why Flesh Cannot Know Grace?

Our flesh is a product of sin past onto to us by Adam our common father who is no part of God, Adam is of his own making, his own world created by sin, alienated from God's world.

John 1:14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
8.
Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

Romans 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

God greatest love, his Son Christ Jesus, Christ has become the expression of God apex of love, grace, towards us undeservingly. Grace is not for our flesh, it is the suffering in our flesh we learn how precious God's love is and to what depth it will go to save our souls, that is, our eternal life.

Romans 11:33 Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

John 1:16 From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.

John 1:17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

The flesh is against the Spirit, the Spirit is known only in God's grace which is expressed beyond any power of our flesh, God's love. The flesh can make no sense out of forgiving a person despite themselves for God's glory.

Romans 3:24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;

Rom.7:18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good. 7:19 For the good which I desire, I don't do; but the evil which I don't desire, that I practice.
7:20 But if what I don't desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

9.
The flesh sees and judges all matters by merit to gain something for it's own glory. To understand grace of God, one must stop and desist in their flesh to be taught the power of God's grace from another world not of the power of sin in this world.

Rom.7:24 What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death? 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord! So then with the mind, I myself serve God's law, but with the flesh, the sin's law.

Grace is only for one person glory, it was something Christ willingly learned in his suffering of pain and sorrow from carrying the sins of others, not of his own flesh.

Christ wanted to glorify his Fathers love to all those living rather sinners or not. He unlike Satan the Devil wanted from his own divine love to share the unspeakable glory of his Father through his own life, as a witnesses to the apex of God's love.

John 12:28 Father, glorify your name!" Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."

1 Peter 4:11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

That is what grace is, and that is why it must be learned as the complete failure of our sinful flesh. Such superlative love is not human or about our eternal life. It is the love we desire to express about our Fathers love for all to worship him in love and truth.

John 17:4 I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.

10.

Desisting From Sin in Suffering

2 Corinthians 12:9 He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

Grace is unmerited kindness, it is also undeserved kindness, nothing in our flesh can give us the apex of God's love grace. But if we suffer in our fallen flesh, we can come to fully understand God's grace, unmerited kindness towards us, Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 12:4 You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin;

1 Peter 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;

By suffering in our flesh we stop sinning, but how? It is because we are not accounted sinners in God's grace, that is, in Christ Jesus. But our flesh does not believe that for an moment, it refuses to stop earning merit by its own efforts and good works.

It is only when it suffer and we understand that we have no merit in our fallen flesh, it is in suffering death of sin is at work in us, we are put into death spiritually, having no way out we reach, and learn grace, undeserved kindness, a power that defies everything of this world. That a person having such evil at work in them, they can then be given the undeserved kindness of God, that is, the life of Christ renewing them back into life with him in Spirit and truth.

Philippians 3:10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;
11.
2 Corinthians 4:12 So then death works in us, but life in you.

2 Corinthians 4:11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.

2 Corinthians 2:16 to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

In that state God comforts us with his grace, that is, the life of Christ that refreshes renews the our life in the eternal life of Christ indwelling us that we learn the power of grace and why love can never fail us.

Rom. 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 8:36 Even as it is written, "For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter."{Psalm 44:22} 8:37 No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

We desist from sin because we are not charge sin in God's grace. In other words, God's love has freely given us his Son Christ Jesus, who is our grace, that is, saving grace. In Christ we have no sin, and for that moment of Spirit and truth we appreciate the depth of God's love found in grace. We no longer imagine we can do anything to earn our relationship with God, we fully at these time accept the undeserved kindness of Christ fully appreciating his endless as our salvation.
12.
When we suffer often we desist from tying to find merit in and of ourselves, we live more and more in grace, that is, the apex's of God's love towards sinners something the angels have never experienced, but are intensely interest in.

Luke.18:9 He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.
18:10 "Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
18:12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.'
18:13 But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn't even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!'
18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."

Grace No Part of the World

The world did not know Christ even when he came into the world of God's people, but why? Because Christ was full of God's grace, the light of his love, such the world does not know!

John 1:9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world. 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn't recognize him.

Luke 2:40 The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

13.

John 1:14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 1:16 From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.

Hence, neither do they know the son's of God, or do they know his children conceived in grace. Grace is not a law or a rule of fallen flesh, merit and debt is the law of sinners, it is codified into all laws of mankind's from family, friends into the highest seats of government to religions.

One cannot know God (Spirit of Grace) in merit, one cannot know God then in our flesh. Grace is the only way we come to know God, knowledge of God truth, love can be known in no other way but the deepest express of God's love unmerited kindness, grace, undeserved kindness. We should then expect all those not of God that love and teach merit worship that they cannot hear the words of grace (Spirit) to them it is babel, a weakness a foolish thing of this world looked down on the by educated elitist. For them putting faith in God's grace are weak minded, foolish minded person that wants to condone weakness of their flesh to get away with being judged by God.

1Cor. 1:28 and God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are:
1:29 that no flesh should boast before God.
1:30 But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

1 John 3:1 Behold, how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn't know us, because it didn't know him.
14.
1 John 3:13 Don't be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.

1 John 4:5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

For those under grace can never get the approval of this world, grace is a personal freely given gift of God that puts them into a new world, a new creation formed from love, not of the laws of our flesh. Such rejection and being invisible to this world is proof they are under God's grace and suffering in their flesh as Christ did!

Matt. 25:31 "But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.
25:32 Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
25:33 He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
25:34 Then the King will tell those on his right hand, 'Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
25:35 for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in.
25:36 I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.'
25:37 "Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink?
25:38 When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you?
25:39 When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'
25:40 "The King will answer them, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers{The word for "brothers" here may be also correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."}, you did it to me.'

15.
The stamp of approval exist in the witness of Christ eternal life in them, under suffering in their flesh, not the success of their fleshly life on earth by the approval of their works, or mind, and/or anything else the world holds out a power, wisdom, or knowledge.

1 John 5:9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God's testimony which he has testified concerning his Son.

Faith in God's grace, in Christ Jesus, Christ is their life, and nothing else in this world gives them life outside of Christ. The life of Christ Jesus is found in heaven, in an new heavens and new earth (future) that is created new from something so new that the world cannot know of it? It is created by the apex of God's love, Grace!

1Cor.2:4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
2:5 that your faith wouldn't stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 2:6 We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing. 2:7 But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory, 2:8 which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory. 2:9 But as it is written, "Things which an eye didn't see, and an ear didn't hear, which didn't enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him."{Isaiah 64:4} 2:10 But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
2:11 For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God's Spirit. 2:12 But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.

16.
2:13 Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things. 2:14 Now the natural man doesn't receive the things of God's Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
2:15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one. 2:16 "For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?"{Isaiah 40:13} But we have Christ's mind.

I am creating all things new!

God word is true and faithful he has created all things new in his grace, Christ Jesus for us. There is nothing new under the Sun about the merit earned love since Adam fell into sin, merit love fails, it always fail because we all fail short of God's own glory, love!

Jeremiah 10:23 Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.

Jeremiah 9:24 but let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am Yahweh who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, says Yahweh.

Isa.40:5 The glory of Yahweh shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it."
40:6 The voice of one saying, "Cry!" One said, "What shall I cry?" "All flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like the flower of the field.
40:7 The grass withers, the flower fades, because Yahweh's breath blows on it. Surely the people are like grass.
40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever."

17.

New is beyond this world, into something never experienced by the human race before, God's unmerited kindness from his love towards us. The apex of God's love that cannot fail those loving him, God's love in Christ gift of his grace is so powerful that nothing on this earth can separated us from Christ unmerited kindness, not even ourselves.

1 John 3:20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

Romans 5:16 The gift is not as through one who sinned: for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification.

Romans 11:29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

God grace creates a new heavens that even the angels of God long to see and understanding, in a love that is unfathomable, a love that would reward the undeserving incorruptible life! How can that be if it not by works, how many works have God's faithful timeless angels done for God?

Romans 4:2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.

Romans 4:4 Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as debt.

Romans 9:11 For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls.

Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
18.
How can someone with a perfect (angles) record not receive incorruptibility? Well, as shocking as this might be to those loving merit based worship it is in suffering of our flesh his children learn the grace of God that God gives us incorruptibility, not in earning love by our works. That love is unfathomable by humans and even God's beautiful righteous precious angels!

Ephesians 2:4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

Ephesians 5:32 This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.

1 Timothy 3:16 Without controversy, the mystery of godliness is great: God was revealed in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, and received up in glory.

1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy became our father again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

2 Peter 1:4 by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

That stunning and often over looked truth is why the world cannot understand the deep things of God, his, love, but those of his children that learned the power of grace under the undeserved kindness of their Fathers love in their suffering are blessed in that suffering beyond what even the angel could perceived with all knowledge of mankind from creation.

19.
Rom.8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.
8:19 For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

It is that work being done in Christ Jesus life, God's grace that breaks up Satan world and set the creation free into the everlasting freedom of the son's of God. It is in that work prepared before the founding of this world that holds the glory of God. It is that work that is against wicked spirit force seeing and being judged by such love in grace that will take back the rightful name of God for us.

A work no one knows, or see by this world flesh eyes, but will soon be felt and revealed in Christ; may our Lord find that type of faith in grace upon his return.

Revelation 21:1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.

Revelation 21:2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband.

Revelation 21:5 He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true."

Eph.5:20 giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;
5:21 subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.
5:22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.
5:24 But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.
5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it; 5:26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
5:27 that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 5:28 Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. 5:29 For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;
5:30 because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.
5:31 "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh."{Genesis 2:24} 5:32 This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly. 5:33 Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
