Saints,
If you think you have issues and a difficult journey, join the club, so did God Almighty with His lovely bride Israel. Now, the good news, we have the New Testament where there is forgiveness, no condemnation and Romans 3:23 the sweet joy of knowing - no one is perfect. Now, none of us deserve to sit next to Jesus and fellowship in the sweet communion of the Holy Spirit. Yet as the scriptures says even we were dead in sins....raised us up together. That in the ages to come might show us the exceeding riches of his grace and kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. (cf: John 8:1-11, Romans 8:1)
Ephesians 2:5-7 (KJV)
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
1 Corinthians 6:15-16
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!
Or don’t you know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”
