Gospel

God is Love (1John 4:8) and Love is patient, kind, not easily angered & keeps no record of wrongs (1Cor. 13:4-5) because God the Son [Jesus Christ] put on flesh and died for the sins of the whole world (1John 2:2) reconciling us to Himself (Rom. 5:10; 2Cor. 5:19) through the new blood covenant [binding unbreakable contract] of eternal forgiveness which He made with the Father (Matt. 26:28) whereby He is no longer counting our sins against us (2Cor. 5:19) because He broke down the wall of separation (Eph. 2:14) between us and God so therefore there is now nothing in all the universe that can separate us from His love (Rom. 8:39).

Now that we stand blameless before Him (Col. 1:22) with no reason to hide (Gen. 3:8-9) He offers us a new resurrected and victorious life (Eph. 2:5; Rom. 5:10) today (2Cor. 6:2) through the giving of a new heart (Ezek. 36:26) which is His Spirit (Ezek. 11:19; John 20:22) breathing into us new identities as sons and daughters of the living God (1John 3:1; Hosea 1:10) by which we cry out, "Abba [Daddy] Father" (Rom. 8:15) with power and authority (Luke 10:19) as His royal priests (1Pet. 2:9), ambassadors and ministers of reconciliation (2Cor. 5:18) as though God was making His appeal to the world through us (2Cor. 5:20) who possess full ownership and inheritance (Eph. 1:14) in our Father's Kingdom [domain of the King] (Luke 22:29) along with the keys to the doors of this Kingdom (Matt. 16:19) which is characterized by righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom. 14:17).

Now strong in the Lord and in the power of His might (Eph. 6:10) we put on the full armor of God (Eph. 6:11) and pick up the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God (Eph. 6:17) in order to drive out the remaining vestiges of darkness by enforcing the victory of our King (Col. 2:15), for it was for this very purpose that the Son of God was made manifest – to destroy the works of the devil (1John 3:8) by making him a footstool for His feet (Acts 2:35) via His Bride the Church (2Cor. 11:2; Eph. 5:24) until the body of Christ is built up and reaches unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and becomes mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ (Eph. 4:12-13), for He will not be unequally yoked with her (2Cor. 6:14) upon His return from the right hand of the Father (Psalm 110:1) where He waits until His will is done on earth as it is in Heaven (Matt. 6:10).
