What do you mean?


1 Corinthians 1:30-31 

30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God

and righteousness and sanctification and redemption

 31 that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”

 

What do you mean?

 

Redemption! What do you mean?

What do you really stand for?

I know it is for Holiness

and peace, love and truth

You have the power to remove

basically all the hindrance

that blocks the Holy Spirit’s

control of me and you

 

Just walking after the flesh

shown in divisions in the church.

Lack of love is rampant

for God and fellowman.

Excuses now are commonplace

to cover what is missing,

in me and you, a way of  “life”,

the sons of Abraham?

 

Contending for the truth

is just a side maneuver.

To cover what is really wrong

very deep within.

”Dying to ourselves“ passed by

and has faded in our memory.

We are still the same as in the past

by angels to be seen.
