As I have often stated, I love anyone who loves the lord! And have shared unashamedly my love for RITAN'S inparticular. I stand by my words. But truly His love for each of you makes my love pale into obscurity. Wisdom inspired constraint has often silenced my voice, but my feelings remain ever present! Love & blessings...TR Though I'm sure John the Beloved often taught on love of the brethren, as did Jesus! Guess I'm in good company. TR I would totally agree, our Love pales before His steadfast, enduring, eternal, and mighty love. We can love because He Loved us first. Even in the middle of the battle, He upholds us with His righteous right hand, His Love is everlasting and unfailing, quite beyond our finite comprehension. We are the beloved, Holy race, a royal priesthood, a people set apart for His possession. We are His people, the sheep of His pasture, given the promise of an inheritance that is incorruptible, eternal and kept for us in heaven. Is will be a glorious eternity! And we shall soon see Him who our souls long for, face to face in all His glory! Lord let it be :prayer-hands: Did you forget a virginal bride! Taking great pleasure in both! TR That wording does not appear in the context of the verse 1 Peter 2:9, I quoted. We are a redeemed, sinful, dead, people. Redeemed by the precious blood of the sinless sacrificial lamb. To summaries, Romans 5:12-21 As by one man, sin entered the world, ....so by one man Grace was offered to all..... As you are already aware.... :good: :prayer-hands: I just like being identified that way! TR
