Partakers Bible Thought
22 June 2021
God's love in the Bible is seen as unfailing, everlasting, intimate, sacrificial, unbreakable, all-conquering, personal, great, immeasurable and all-knowing. This is seen supremely in the Cross of Jesus Christ, when He died for the sins of the world. Supreme love overcoming all that is not love. Even when great acts of evil are committed in the world, love is all around. Love continues despite such acts. How are Christians to respond to this love of God? The apostle John gives us a clue when he writes:
“ If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them." (1 John 4:15-16)

“Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them." (John 14:21)
As a Christian you are to be a little Jesus. A little Jesus in your local community, wherever you happen to live, work, study or be. You are to live a life of obedience, of and to, Jesus Christ. For you are being transformed by the Holy Spirit who lives inside you. You are to be totally and willingly obedient to Him. Obedience, not out of some kind of slavish duty or ritual, but an obedience borne from willingly loving God and loving others.

1 Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite. 2 ‘Has the LORD spoken only through Moses?’ they asked. ‘Hasn’t he also spoken through us?’ And the LORD heard this.
3 (Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.) (Numbers 12:1-3)
Yesterday, we looked at serving God where ever you are with a clear conscience. How are you geting on with doing it?
Today we look at a follow on from that to meekness. What is meekness? Isn’t meekness, merely weakness? That’s what we are told often enough by people outside the church. Yet meekness is not weakness. Meekness is giving up our personal rights to God alone.
Download and listen to the Podcast to find out more about serving God and others with meekness!

“How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God.” Hebrews 9:14
Every person has a conscience. Many people, some Christians included, nurse a guilty conscience owing to holding onto animosity or wrongs done to them or having done wrong things to others. As a consequence, their life is filled with turmoil and bitterness. You may well be like that. I don’t know.
What I do know, is that your conscience is the faculty which is sensitive to right and wrong, and judges your actions and attitudes. Everybody has a conscience and all are sensitive to spiritual truths, whether they are immediately aware of it or not.

Yesterday we looked together at the Christian and peace! One of the natural outcomes of peace and trusting God is joy! But what is joy? What place does joy have in the life of the Christian?
This joy is often an unspeakable joy that bubbles within you! A joy resulting from overcoming all that life throws at you, and overcoming those hurdles! It involves taking a daily commitment to follow Jesus Christ and not just a one off. It takes commitment, not comfort, to throw off hindrances and barriers. True joy results from being willing to allow the Holy Spirit to work in you, transforming you into the image of Jesus Christ, to the praise and glory of God the Father.

“God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.” Matthew 5:9
I don’t know how your weekend went, but I had a weekend that I want to forget quickly! It could be said that I did not have a peaceful weekend dealing with situations that arose unexpectedly. I am at peace now but was not at the time! I had this little voice inside me repeatedly saying “Trust me… Be at peace with yourself.” The Holy Spirit was ministering to me amidst the turmoil despite my often not wanting to hear that!
All over the world, the majority of people share a common desire for peace! But what is peace? Come and listen to the podcast to find out more about the Christian, true peace and being peacemakers!
