"Not Only That"
The Not Only That of His Kingdom Kids.
When He's done the greatest of things for us β the rejoicing heart of the servant of God always always always has more joy to give away. And says β Not Only That β let me tell you what else He's done, given, graced, taught, shared, blessed, made possible, strengthened, built, reconciled, healed, mended, made whole, delivered, freed, savedβ¦ and so on and so on.
For all roads in the word lead to Jesus and all paths He leads His people down lead others to Jesus. That's why the believers can REJOICE AND JOY over what He's done in their past. And the grace-rooted faith they're presently standing upon. Yes, the process, even how they know He uses everything β nothing is wasted β from tests, trials, trouble, and tribulations to refine, renew, and refresh them to look and smell more like Jesus. And how they will enter into His everlasting presence β REJOICING β when they see Jesus, face to face because their lives were filled with Him and His joy in this world.
As Peter would sayβ¦ "in this, you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faithβthe salvation of your souls." 1 Peter 1:6-9
Grace upon grace⦠from glory to glory!
Now that is the grace in which we stand.
Yes, it's grace upon grace⦠the Not Only That of kingdo |
