True essence of spiritual maturity

I read this this morning and it's passion encouraged me. Oh Hallelujah!!

This really spoke volumes to me. Who could say such a thing, who could use their last breath and heartbeat to glorify God? I am sure that there are many christians who would readily volunteer that they could do so, but there is a very descriminating mark on the one who truely could meet such a task. One who has come to a place in his or her life that they are no longer living but Christ is living in them full and free. Someone who has become so infatuated and impassioned with Christ that their own identity is unknown.


May Father help us all through the power of His Spirit to become authors unknown.

Christ is living in them full and free...I like that...the Spirit unrestrained ...unquenched...within...without...

Son 8:6 Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the LORD. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it.

There is one who gave a greater example .
For after being beaten , beard pulled out, spit upon, nailed to a cross, his dying breath, and last words were,"Father forgive them, for they know not, what they do."

 

[Boanerges]

What a great thread! Christ loved the unlovely and when we walk in spiritual maturity we will do likewise.

I agree 100 per/cent....... there will be a button for per/cent I am sure ...but I cannot see it Amen to that.

Amen Gracealone, the scriptures state that Christ made Himself of no reputation.
