Jesus owns this thing called church

I am revealed, not by what I say that I am, but through the evidence that is brought forth in how I live among and love others.  Using Jesus talk, does not make me a Jesus person. In fact telling people what I am is not nearly as important as allowing the Spirit of God to work in and through my life to compassionately demonstrate to others who Jesus is.  Religious arrogance is not to be confused with the anointing that God places upon the lives of His children.  Spiritual authority is not a license to look down on others and Christian fervor is not manifest in contempt held toward or expressed about others.  Spiritual authority is established in the Word of God and is demonstrated in brokenness, humility and love, not with continued declarations of one’s position or authority in the Kingdom of God.  Jesus Owns this thing Called the church.  We are only significant when we disappear in Christ.

1 John 3:15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother[ abides in death.

1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
