Jayamsih..! Welcome to today’s devotion!
Taking on a form
Romans 13:14
- Many local churches take on a personality of their teaching, they do not use their own part that God has given them, why? Because they are not secure in their own fellowship with Christ in grace; For that reason, they must establish their own security. Their level to love each other is their own belief or concept. When another believer steps outside the bounds of their teaching, their conditional love no longer serves that one sign.
In this type of congregation, the members are of the same type. If you do not become like them, you will not be stuck there. They can reach only as far as their education takes them in love. In order to be accepted, you have to take the form they want. You don’t grow up to express Christ, but you should express their teachings about Christ. Love is not their basis for communication. They relate to you according to your ability to assert the reality of their perception of God. They cannot take a step of faith because they do not allow God to lead them away from what they know and are well established. They may be of one mind on the subject of education, but they cannot be of one mind on Christ.
The mind of Christ is given by grace through fellowship with that mind. A man who directs others from his own concepts outside of love cannot be guided by God, otherwise he would be a vessel of love in his form given by God.
