(Not a flower-power Hippie trip)
The Gospel, the Church and the Kingdom (all one, really) are a series of God-orchestrated LOVE CONNECTIONS. He connects people, first, to Himself, then to one another. Our connection with Jesus is a love connection. So too shall be our connection with His people. If it’s not a love connection, then it’s not a connection : either with God or with man.
We gotta connect with the saints. Love is the only way to connect. Without love it is not possible for any Kingdom connection.
The Body of Christ FUNCTIONS by a series of spiritual CONNECTIONS. Connectedness is essential:
From whom the whole body being fitly joined together and knit together by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. Ephesians 4:16
…That which every joint supplies….. That which every LOVE CONNECTION supplies.
Are our connections in the Body of Christ love connections?
