Intimate Conversations with a Loving Father

IMPARTIALITY

Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear.
1 Peter 1:17

FROM THE FATHER'S HEART
My beloved child, in your Father's house, there are no favorites. I love all My children the same. Whatever you do in My name will be judged by the same standards, because I see the motive in each heart. You need not fear. I will always be fair and just.

A GRATEFUL RESPONSE
Lord, I'm so grateful I don't have to impress You with outstanding performances or impressive actions. You don't categorize sin, but You look deep within the hearts of every person and judge us all alike. Thank You for Your impartiality, Lord.

SIMPLE TRUTH

He who calls each flower by name loves and cares for us the same.

Being born again

1 Peter 1:17-23 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

and then

1 Peter 1:23-24 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

God does not look at our flesh, only the manifestation of His Son in us, foreordained from before the foundation of the world to "overcome" our vain conversation received from the tradition of our fathers. Jesus purifies us as we walk in His spirit (obeying the truth). It is His love and His pure heart manifest in all those who are Born Again that loves His appearing in His Church. We are saved (delivered) by His Grace and His faith, not that of our own. It is indeed His "work" in us. God loves His only begotten Son in whom He is well pleased.
