Repairer of the Breach

1Pe 1:20  Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

Jesus foreordained.

Some use this as an occasion to say the God planned our failure.

Do men who have safeguards, plan tragedies?  No. They have safeguards in place because the possibility exists for tragedy to occur.

Before mankind was created with the very real possibility they'd separate themselves from God- believing they could live without their Creator and Sustainer- a plan was put in motion for the worst case scenario.  If man chose to separate themselves from their Creator and Sustainer, they would have an opportunity to comprehend their wrongdoing and submit to a Redeemer who would offer them a way to once more be one with their Creator and Sustainer.

Before the foundation of the world our Savior was in place and then when it was time- He was manifested for mankind.

1Pe 1:21  Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

God raised the Son, Jesus Christ a God in His own right, from the dead. God the Father gave the Son glory and now our FAITH and HOPE is in God. Our faith and hope for redemption.

1Pe 1:22  Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

We obey the truth through the SPIRIT and the LOVE that is unfeigned in us is GOD'S love through the SPIRIT not some sort of love we try to manufacture on our own to claim we LOVE others of our own accord. The love we must love others with is God's love, His love for all mankind.  The pure heart is Christ's pure heart, through the Spirit we receive Christ's love in us, Christ in us! It's HIS love!

Col_1:27  To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory

Christ in us is the HOPE of glory! Christ in US, not us in us. Our reuniting with God, our oneness with God is what it is all about. Repairing the breach so that we are NO longer separated from God. Christ alone repairs this breach! And when the oneness through Christ by the Holy Spirit is in us we have the love of God in us and that love alone is capable of loving others unfeigned.  We allow Christ to repair the breach! We comprehend that once the breach is repaired it allows God in us! And with God in us, we love with His love. He loves through us!

1Pe 1:23  Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

1Pe 1:24  For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

1Pe 1:25  But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Truth.

We are born again with a spiritual seed which is incorruptible and that birth is the birth of the Christ in us, the birth of the breach being repaired through Christ. The word of God -  lives and abides forever. 

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Joh 1:2  The same was in the beginning with God.

Joh 1:3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Joh 1:14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

All of our flesh is as grass, all mankind's glory is like a flower of grass.  The grass as we all know withers and flowers fall away.  All things of flesh wither and fade. The word of the Lord endures forever- it never withers and never fades.   This is the gospel we must comprehend.

Christ in us- our hope of glory- His glory in us, we have no glory of our own, none.

All in HIS amazing, wondrous love, His mercy and grace!

Amen!
