The process of building Christ into one may be very slow, but it makes Jesus men and women out of us. We are created in Christ Jesus. The Father is actually building His Love Life, His Righteousness, His strength, and His Wisdom into our spirits. I was so fearful that a month or two would go by that I hadn't grown in Christ and in Knowledge of the Word. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Grace means Love at work.
I am convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt, that only as we yield ourselves to the Lordship of Love, can He ever build Himself into us. It is not knowledge of the Scriptures. I may have a vast knowledge of the Word. That isn't it. It is the Word that is built into me and becomes a part of me that counts.
