[September 13]
If these things be in you, and abound, they make
you that ye shall be neither barren nor unfruitful in
the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For so an
entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into
the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. II Peter 1:8, 11
ALL of God's people, all begotten of the Holy Spirit,
are inspired by the spirit of the Father, the spirit of
love, the spirit of justice and loyalty. But how about
the degree, the abounding, the having of this love permeate
all of life's affairs? If this spirit of the Lord
abounds in us it will influence our business, our
pleasure, our homes, our workshops, our kitchens, our
dining rooms, our bed chambers, our very thoughts.
It is the abounding love, the all-pervading influence
of our Lord in the lives and in all life's affairs of those
who would have the abundant entrance into the kingdom
of Messiah as members of the bride class, that is
required. Z'11-442 R4929:3(Hymn 1)
