With all of the mayhem these past 5+ years, especially related to the Christian faith, this is a poignant and wholly accurate explanation of what it means to be in Christ as one body. He died for all, making a way for every single person to come to the Father through faith in Him. I think where we get tripped up is thinking the faith journey ends there, is complete once we accept Jesus with our whole heart as our Savior. It does not. It’s only the beginning. It’s where we have access to His supernatural strength to separate ourselves from thinking and behavior that does not honor Him. “They will know us by our fruit.” Fruit, here, refers to our behavior, motives, and likeness to Jesus. It’s the most beautiful transformation this life offers. Come to Him. Walk with Him. He will make you new, one step at a time. 💖
