New Family Christ God gathered together in one all in Christ (Eph. 1:10), calling them a family (Eph. 3:15). This new family is of a spiritual or heavenly nature, which is why Paul said that God seated us in His heavenly kingdom in Christ (Eph. 2:6, CEV ). And in this new family we have those who are “beloved in the Lord” ( e.g., Rom. 16:8).

And in this new family we have those “who are over us in the Lord” to help us along the way (1 The. 5:12).

New Family Christ Love “grace … is exceedingly abundant, with faith and love in Christ” (1 Tim. 1:14 & 2 Tim. 1:13). Jesus said, “‘If anyone loves Me … My Father will love him, & We will come to him & make Our home with him’” (John 14:23). Here are some of my favorite verses about God’s love for us

New Family Christ Love “grace … is exceedingly abundant, with faith and love in Christ” (1 Tim. 1:14 & 2 Tim. 1:13). Paul said our Father “has loved us and given us ever- lasting con- solation and good hope by grace” (2 The. 2:16). Here are some of my favorite verses about God’s love for us

New Family Christ Love “grace … is exceedingly abundant, with faith and love in Christ” (1 Tim. 1:14 & 2 Tim. 1:13). Christ’s love for us in- cludes His caring for all our needs. Paul said, “My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in … Christ Jesus” (Php. 4:19).

New Family Christ Love “grace … is exceedingly abundant, with faith and love in Christ” (1 Tim. 1:14 & 2 Tim. 1:13). In fact, nothing is “able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom. 8:39).

New Family Christ Love Pro- fitable Life Paul said to always abound “in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Cor. 15:58).
