Walking around in love we reflect the love God has given us in His Son (Eph 5:1-2; 2 Cor 5:14-15).

The love of God is powerful. It can bring enemies to be friends, give life to the dead, and transform hearts and lives! God's plan has always been in His love. (Jn 3; Eph 1; and 1 Jn 4)

Jesus came to this world and brought peace, a peace so powerful it can free our minds of fear and our hearts from worry. His peace is life giving! (Luke 2:1-14; Eph 2:14)

Jesus is the Light of the world. He is in us by His Spirit. Believing Him, we find gratitude and faith to reflect Him in a dark world. (Eph 5:8-20).

God's love is not a human emotion; it is the life giving power and purpose granted us in His Son!

We live in a physical world, and faith has always called God's people to work through, face, the circumstances of life through

deeds that reflect trust in Him. God's purpose, however, has never been merely outward and physical.

It is our nature to look at ourselves, be impressed with ourselves, and even to depend on ourselves and the power of our emotions. Faith calls us to Christ Jesus and God's work in Him, NOT to ourselves.

God has given us spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus. Spiritual blessings that glorify Him and work to accomplish His purpose in our lives (Eph 3).

The peace God gives in Christ Jesus is practical and powerful beyond anything this world offers. Peace in Christ is Real Peace. He, Himself is our peace (Eph 2:14).

One of our greatest spiritual blessings in the Son is that God has seated us with Christ in the heavenly realms. (Eph 2)
