LIVING HIS GLORY IN ONENESSDon Atkin
1935 – 2023
God is Spirit, living His glorious and abundant life through all who have been baptized into Christ and crucified with Him.I have been crucified with Christ [that is, in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body I live by faith [by adhering to, relying on, and completely trusting] in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. - Galatians 2:20The Lord said, “. . . Indeed as I live, all the earth will be filled with the glory of the Lord.” - Numbers 14:20-21One of my favorite verses, and I have a ton of them, is found in Colossians 1:27. Paul wrote it, and it goes, “To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is ‘Christ in you, the hope of glory.’”Jesus prayed to our Father, “I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected and completed into one, so that the world may know [without any doubt] that You sent Me, and [that You] have loved them, just as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given to Me [as Your gift to Me], may be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” - John 17:22-24The fullness of His glory will be revealed in the united Ekklesia where we live.I love you!Papa Don#DonAtkin
