Ephesians 1v5
In love He predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of His will, 6 to the praise of His glorious grace, with which He has blessed us in the Beloved. 7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, 8 which He lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9 making known to us the mystery of His will, according to His purpose, which He set forth in Christ 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to UNITE all things in Him, things in heaven and things on earth.

Our salvation is for the glory of God and not ourselves. The purpose of Christ was to bring all things together in both heaven and earth to give praise to the God of all creation and His beautiful mercy in bringing us to Him, when we never deserved it. Our God truly is love.

Galatians 6v7
Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. 10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Galatians 5v13
For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

We must love one another to experience the true freedom found in Christ.

Galatians 4v8
Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods. 9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?

2 Corinthians 9v6
The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make ALL GRACE abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.

2 Corinthians 4v16
So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

“Our inner self is being renewed day by day.” Stop. Think about that. Feel that. Let us live that, for our inner self is renewed each new day by the Spirit of Christ in us. How can we not be excited for that, for what God wants to do in us and through us? PTL for each day we are given to be renewed.
