Anamus River from Silverton But all things are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to Himself [received us into favor, brought us into harmony with Himself] and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation [that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with Him].
So all who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith.
We are all able to receive God's life, his Spirit, in and with us by believing—just the way Abraham received it.
Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan.
Practice what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and model your way of living on it, and the God of peace (of untroubled, undisturbed well-being) will be with you.
My counsel for you is simple and straightforward: Just go ahead with what you've been given. You received Christ Jesus, the Master; now live him. You're deeply rooted in him. You're well constructed upon him. You know your way around the faith. Now do what you've been taught. School's out; quit studying the subject and start living it! And let your living spill over into thanksgiving.
2 Corinthians 5:18 Galatians 3:9 Galatians 3:13 Ephesians 1:11 Philippians 4:9 Colossians 2:6
Step up to the tasks and do what God asks.
