TRANSFORMING KNOWLEDGE INTO LOVE AND FORGIVENESS

TRANSFORMING KNOWLEDGE INTO LOVE AND FORGIVENESS KNOWLEDGE is a great thing Particularly the KNOWLEDGE Of the Scriptures The Sadducees and Pharisees Of yesteryear Can tell you that And almost ALL current preachers- priests-and men and women of God CAN tell you that too But if you are NOT applying the SCRIPTURES To the living of your life That knowledge is meaningless “I will give thanks to you O Lord With all my heart For you have heard The WORDS of my mouth” KNOW the Scriptures But apply them And LIVE them in your life too We should be TRANSFORMED Into miniature versions of Christ In our own little corner Of the world Transformed into LOVE Transformed into FORGIVENESS Just like Jesus “Do NOT conform To the pattern of this world But be transformed By the RENEWING Of your mind Then you will be able To test and approve What GOD'S WILL is His good-pleasing And PERFECT WILL” Romans 12:2 And God wants us To be TRANSFORMED into MINIATURE walking-talking examples- OF CHRIST OF LOVE AND FORGIVENESS “And we ALL Who with unveiled faces CONTEMPLATE the Lord's GLORY And being transformed INTO HIS IMAGE With everlasting glory Which comes from the Lord Who is the SPIRIT” 2 Corinthians 3:18 In our spiritual lives We all come to the DEEPER KNOWLEDGE That we are KNOWN In the mind of God And he knows each of us By name “But now This is what the Lord says- He who removed you-Jacob He who formed you-Israel 'DO not fear For I have redeemed you I have CALLED YOU by name You are mine'” Isaiah 43:1 Called by name By the one WHO IS LOVE WHO IS FORGIVENESS This knowledge brings us To our knees in HUMILITY And worship Let us all PRAY to the Lord To use our knowledge To TRANSFORM US Into miniature versions of CHRIST AND OF LOVE AND FORGIVENESS In Jesus' name we PRAY Robert P.
