Holy Scripture has deeply rooted in its teachings, wisdom that comes from walking in love, truth, and peace, in alignment with God. This perfect alignment is achieved by following the example of Jesus Christ. We experience the fullness of God’s grace when we live a life pleasing to HIM.
We are in alignment when we choose to walk in love and truth, while extending peace. (1 John 4:7-8) Tells us to love one another for love is from God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. The importance of love is a fundamental aspect of our relationship with God and with one another. Walk in a way of living and acting in the world, which reflects God’s own nature and character.
(1 Corinthians 13:13) And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love, the greatest of these is love.
(Proverbs 14:12) Warns us about a way that seems right to man and its destination is destruction.
(2 Corinthians 5:17) Tells believers, the old has gone, the new is here! The transformative power of Christ makes us new creations and we leave behind our old selves.
Humanity, the people of this world, with their inferior wisdom to that of God have an obligation to responsible governance of the world. (Proverbs 10:8) Emphasizes the importance of wisdom and obedience to God’s commands. The only thing greater than foolishness is ruin, after the best efforts of inferior wisdom. The wise in heart accepts commands.
(Proverbs 29:2) Speaks to the importance of having righteous leaders who bring joy and prosperity to their people, and not wicked rule, which produce suffering and despair. This teaching gives us a better understanding of responsible governance for creating a better world for all.
End times will not delay for any one person to realize that it’s here.
