What Shall I Render

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb 13:8).

He is the immutable foundation we are to dig deeply, find, and build upon (Matt 7:24-27).

There are plenty of actions commanded in the kingdom, but it always calls us to value the spiritual reality of Christ's reign within and for us.

God's Spirit within us grows our expectation and desire, our hope. The hope He brings us gives us victory over our sufferings and the love He brings us binds us together (Rom 5:1-5; 12:3-8).

Living Hope holds power in our present trials to fill us with an inexpressible and glorious joy regarding our future (1Pet 1:3-9).

Hypocrites cling to condemning others, while claiming to enjoy the forgiveness of the King. The kingdom transforms only those willing to be directed by the King's treatment of them.

The Spirit helps us in our weakness (Rom 8:26; Eph 3:16).

God has done the humanly impossible with sending His Son and placing Him on the throne at the Father's right hand. No part of that kingdom is according to human desires or purposes.

The desires of our flesh and the ways of the world bring sin, which results in death. They do not bring the kingdom to us, nor grow it within us.

God has always been after the heart, and His covenants and commands have never been merely outward and physical.
