Love of Christ

Labels: , , , , .

"For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if One died for all, then were all dead: And that He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose again" 2Cor 5:14-15

Constraining Love - the Love of Christ constraineth us
Convincing Logic - because we thus judge
Crucified Lord - One died for all ... He died for all
Cleared Liability - then were all dead
Conquering Leader - rose again
Careless Living - live unto themselves
Consecrated Lives - live unto Him

Conference Hymn
St. Theodulph 7.6.7.6.D.

Our Father we would bless Thee
For Thine exceeding grace.
As sons we now address Thee
Brought now before Thy face;
The Son of God most glorious
Came from those heights above,
Thy family to gather,
Thou God of light and love.


Our sins are all forgiven
Lord Jesus for Thy sake,
Through Thee we know the Father
And of Thy love partake;
We now are God's dear children,
And we have found in Thee,
Our satisfying portion
For all eternity.

Strong in the strength Thou givest,
We overcome the foe,
Thy Word our daily manna
As on by faith we go;
The world and its temptations
From henceforth we would flee,
Our inmost soul's affections,
Are set, O Lord on Thee.

So with our eyes, Lord Jesus,
More fully fixed on Thee,
We lean upon Thy bosom,
And still would following be,
Till in the Father's presence,
The family complete,
Shall see Thee, and be like Thee,
And sing Thy praises sweet.

Then shall God's loving purpose
Through Thee be gratified,
Then shall Thy heart, Lord Jesus,
Be fully satisfied;
And we in that bright glory
Shall see Thee face to face,
The objects there forever,
Of rich unchanging grace.

Unequal Yoke

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?" 2 Cor 6:14-16

Different Standard - righteousness with unrighteousness
Different Sphere - light with darkness
Different Sovereign - Christ with Belial
Different Standing - he that believeth with an infidel
Different Sanctuary - the temple of God with idols

Judgment Seat of Christ

The Bema of Christ with regards to

My attitude towards my brethren
"But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ." Rom14:10

My addition towards the building
"For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is." 1Cor 3:11-13

My assessment and others beliefs
"For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God" 1Cor 4:4-5

My action with my body
"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." 2Cor 5:10
