Key Words: Be perfect
Be perfect, grow up, stop being
baby believers! That’s something which
could be said for many believers today.
J. Vernon
McGee writes: "Be of good comfort." He
goes back to the word he used when he began this letter -- the comfort of
God. Remember that it means help. It means God is the One who is called to our
side to help us, to strengthen us, to encourage us. God wants to do that for you today. No matter who you are, where you are, or how
you are, God wants to help you. He can
help you through His Word by means of the ministering of the Holy Spirit.
What
great verses these are. God is with us
to comfort us. We are to grow and
mature. We can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. Certainly we ought to go forward for God with
such encouragement.
"Be
of one mind" means to have the mind of Christ.
"Live
in peace." We cannot make peace,
but we can live in peace.
"And
the God of love and peace shall be with you." This is the peace of God which passeth all
understanding. It is the peace that God
made through the blood of the Cross. We are to live in that peace today. We are to rejoice in our salvation.
The
God of love and peace shall be "with you." Don't miss that. You are not alone -- God is with you
today. How wonderful that is.
