1 Peter 4:12-19. Matt. 10:34-39

Love is a catalyst and means of transformation; but it is judgement too, revealing all that is lacking in commitment and self-giving.

I, the Father's Love Incarnate and His Incarnate Word, came into His beloved world to redeem and save it. Each child of man who gives himself in love and self-giving to the Father and his fellow men and women is saved as he continues faithful. For love enters heart and mind, and through the power of Our Indwelling, he is increasingly brought into the Kingdom of eternal life and love.The cost of man's redemption no child of man can ever fully know. But he may align himself with Our redeeming, sanctifying purpose both for himself and for the Father's world. And whatever suffering he may undergo he may offer as a token of his faithfulness, and this will bring him into deeper fellowship with the suffering of the Son of Man and also with the suffering sons and daughters of the Father.

Let no-one take the Father's love for granted. It is joy and fullness of perfection in the Kingdom of Eternal Life and Love. But it is judgement too. Believe and trust and love in faithfulness and self-giving.
