An Abundance of Grace

Dimensions of Love

And this is where the “fullness” comes in, literally. When He comes in, He brings His “fullness” – infinite love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and so forth. His presence is His fullness. Filled with His fullness means filled with God’s presence and thus all that He is. It’s a spiritual union: For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. "For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."

Fabric-ated

For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. (Eph 2:10)

Lord of the Sabbath Part Two

This glorious gift of grace means that with His Spirit in you, you are no longer “of the earth” like the first Adam. Rather, you are from that point forward “of heaven” like the “last Adam”. In fact, you are then a member of the family of God – your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

Lord of the Sabbath Part One

He’s Lord of the Sabbath because back in Genesis He created the the seventh day of rest, the Sabbath, (See Gen 2:2,3) and more than that, He is the Sabbath. More accurately, He is our Sabbath. You see, sabbath is all about rest and peace. Because of this, it is also about trust for you cannot truly have rest or peace unless you have trust, trust in the Almighty. Jesus embodies this rest, peace and trust.

Perfectly Complete

These people who could not believe despite the obvious, empowered by the presence of God’s Spirit in them were transformed inwardly. They then had the power to embrace ‘the basics’ and the power to trust the next lesson – perfection.
