Living Grace

Unselfish Love

But earnestly desire and strive for the greater gifts [if acquiring them is going to be your goal]. And yet I will show you a still more excellent way [one of the choicest graces and the highest of them all: unselfish love]. “– I Corinthians 12:31

Unselfish Love is the love of Christ poured into our lives. Paul calls living by this love a more excellent way. It is not that other ways in Christ are bad, it is that Christ’s love delighting and overflowing in our hearts is the pinnacle of our existence. Christ’s love is the most powerful action in the universe. Christ’s love is the beginning and the end. Very often as Christian’s, we settle for value and acceptance in things that don’t fully encompass Christ’s love. These things satisfy us for a season, but they leave us wanting more and often yearning for new seasons. In Christ, we have entered the perpetual season of God’s favour through grace.

Joined in Love

It was God’s intention that we would live a life being fully encouraged, with our hearts joined in love. – There should never be a moment that we are not encouraged by the truth of who we are as New Creations in Christ. God is a fountain of goodness and love alive in hearts. Out of our hearts, we have a river of the Holy Spirit. We have the very life of God alive in us.

Depend

It was God’s intention that we would be gloriously dependent upon the love of our Father – God made us to be in union with him, we are only complete when we are in union with Christ. When we experience his love, when we know his commitment to us, our sonship in him. When we live in the overflowing goodness of his empowering and enabling grace.

BE

It was God’s intention that we speak, see, be a living fountain of life-giving love. – It was always God’s intention to fill the earth with the love and glory of Heaven.

God works in us and through us by the Holy Spirit

It is now Christ alive in you through the resurrection power of Christ that lives in you. For as Christ is so now are you. The Holy Spirit works in you to bring you into greater depths and understanding of who you are now in Christ and the limitless love of Christ in your heart.

Everything that God releases goes back to Him

Everything that has been released to you as a New Creation Christ is so that you permeate and you emanated the glory of God and this goes back through the universe to God and His delight is the complete fullness and goodness of His creation

It was always God’s intention to radiate His glory through us

God from the beginning of time had one intention, to radiate his glory through his children, for his sons to fill the earth with his glory. It never waived from that intention and it was his desire and delight to reconcile the universe through Christ at the cross. Christ died for the joy set before him, that joy was an intimate relationship with you, in a marriage and love beyond the wildest imagination.

We receive the inheritance that is already ours

“giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. “ – Colossians 1:12 – The death of Christ at the cross gave us the inheritance of God. We receive the fullness of Christ won at the cross; it is ours in Christ. Everything Christ has won is now ours in Christ Jesus.

We pray to listen to hear the voice of our beloved, not to try to get a relationship

We listen to our lovers words of love, His love re-discovers the delight of our hearts, His words re-configures our thoughts and our minds, His Grace releases us in the favour of God upon our lives.
