How many precious ones have

sold their souls for wealth, prestige,

fame, popularity, greed, or power!

May those who profess Jesus Christ

as Lord who have been bought with

the precious blood of the lamb never

be found pursuing such weak and

begger-like commodities of the earth.

For the royal imperial, eternal, incomparable

Kingdom and Triune God we serve is majestically

royally, imperially immense, and worth more than

all the treasuries and riches of this sin-filled world.

May we pursue Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the Holy Word,

and prayer. These are the Christian’s true riches in this world.

God is a joyful, sovereign,

hope-filled, fortress and strong

tower of ceaseless hope, mercy,

love, and justice. So Christians

may we be hope-filled, full of

joy, mercy, love, and tender

justice for this is who our

Triune God is! May we look

like, sound like, and in our own

imperfections strive to be like

our precious Triune God. God is a

perfect joyful, sovereign, hope-filled,

fortress, and strong tower of ceaseless

hope, mercy, love, and justice! May the

gospel be truly alive in all of us!

If one must choose, may we always

choose to please our Triune God

over the opinions of humanity.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us walk in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying one another.

Galatians 5: 22-23 (KJV)

But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature together with its passions and appetites. If we [claim to] live by the [Holy] Spirit, we must also walk by the Spirit [with personal integrity, godly character, and moral courage—our conduct empowered by the Holy Spirit].  We must not become conceited, challenging or provoking one another, envying one another.

Galatians 5: 22-23 (Amplified)

How to measure the Biblical character of a soul

is by the fruit of the Spirit. Here are but a few in

these end of days: Do they really live by the Bible and

are truly holy in all their ways? how they treat children,

the elderly, animals, friendliness, consistent kindness, manners,

approachability, the ability to reply kindly when spoken to, the

ability to maintain confidentiality, grace, mercy, and generosity.

These are but a few Fruit of the Spirit ways on how to measure the

Biblical character of a soul. Now you add yours. Better than that,

may we all go out and live in the Fruit of The Spirit by the

power of the precious Holy Spirit by God’s amazing grace.

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God.

I John 5:4 (KJV)

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

Matthew 5:5 (KJV)

So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

Mtthew 20:16 (KJV)

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:31-39 (KJV)

In this ever darkening world,

the more one seeks the praise

of our Triune God, the more

one will not receive the praise

of sin-filled mortal humanity.
