CHRIST CHOSEN DISCIPLES: OUR INDIVIDUAL CROSS AS A DISCIPLE OF CHRIST MUST NOT BE ABANDONED FOR ANY REASON. IT HAS TO BE CARRIED TO THE END. 2 TIMOTHY, 3:-12 “INDEED, ALL WHO DESIRE TO LIVE A GODLY LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS WILL BE PERSECUTED.” INASMUCH AS WE ENDURE OUR INDIVIDUAL PERSECUTION TO THE END, HE HAS PROMISED TO GIVE US THE CROWN OF LIFE. (JAMES, 1:-12) AS WE ALL KNOW, SALVATION IS BY GRACE: BUT THE COST OF OUR DISCIPLESHIP IN CHRIST IS GREAT. (LUKE, 14:-25-35) BUT REJOICE INASMUCH AS YOU PARTICIPATE IN THE SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST, SO THAT YOU MAY BE OVERJOYED WHEN HIS GLORY IS REVEALED.” (1 PETER, 4:-13) BUT WE MUST NOT SUFFER FOR BEEN UNRIGHTEOUS BY THE REASON OF THOSE BEHAVIORS THAT BRING CONDEMNATION TO THE BODY OF CHRIST. (1 PETER, 4:-15) IN CONCLUSION: MAY THE GOD OF PEACE WHO BROUGHT AGAIN FROM THE DEAD OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE GREAT SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP BY THE BLOOD OF THE ETERNAL COVENANT, EQUIP EACH AND EVERYONE OF US WITH EVERYTHING GOOD, THAT WE MAY DO HIS WILL TO THE END. IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME WE PRAY. AMEN. WE ARE: CELESTIAL CHURCH OF CHRIST; TEMPLE OF MERCY KATY PARISH.
