KEEPING THE ARTS ALIVE

Manifesting and revealing God’s love to one another is the highest level of accuracy to God’s Testament above and beyond one’s studied theology, oh so cavalier, jabs towards another. God would rather possess a simple heart from a simple man than a restricted heart full of gaping holes searching for infinite explanation — An overflowing cup rather than a cup that never has enough to reason with.  

Christ-followers to Christians, Christians to Christians, Christians to Religious people, humans to humans:

His love is simple, His love is for all of us.

Authenticate God’s love, not complicate it. By showing how simple it is to love one another through relation instead of conviction, the love God has intended will bear fruit.

Our own wisdom cannot get us to where God can take us.  It’s not what saves us or others. Our own testimony is no match to God’s testimony of His only Son.  And by that belief, we are saved by His testimony, not ours.  By His grace, not our doing.

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 

We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but both the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.  None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.  

As it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.”

but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.  The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.  For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man’s spirit within him?  In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.  We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught to us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.  

“For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?”

For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.  Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach: Christ crucified.
