JESUS is LORD  

'CHRIST Church Love' Mission Society Purpose

Proclaiming, sharing and spreading the gospel (the Kingdom of GOD) of JESUS the CHRIST, our LORD and SAVIOR with communication (preaching, teaching, evangelizing using any media available) and action (via deed and life), always with humility, all for the glory of GOD.

‘CHRIST Church Love’ hopes to GO and DO, in the name of JESUS, teaching all HE taught (avoiding doctrines of men) – even doing as JESUS did. CHRIST says clearly “if any man will come after ME, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow ME.”

We seek to be making ourselves like a good tree, yielding good fruit that remains, speaking to the world the things we hear from GOD. (John 8, 15)

…Abiding in JESUS with JESUS abiding in us. (John 14)

…Using our hands and backs to help with carrying the difficult burdens of others, especially for relief of the global poor, the distressed, the underprivileged and the downtrodden. (Luke 11)

…Not our will, but the will of the FATHER, be done. (Luke 22, John 7)

…Doing nothing of ourselves, but always doing the things that are pleasing to GOD. (John 8)

…Honoring the FATHER and JESUS, not seeking for our own glory. (John 8)

‘CHRIST Church Love’ hopes to be a witness by living out a simple, straightforward, readily understandable interpretation of the Gospel (the Good News) preached by CHRIST. 

We aim to be led by the SPIRIT (who helps, guides, counsels, comforts and even empowers), that we might rightly hear, understand, and follow the CHRIST, putting our faith in JESUS. We also desire corporate understanding from one another, from the humble and lowly, to understand what the learned and lofty fail to discern.

We continue knocking on the door, seeking diligently that it might be opened with the key of understanding, but are also content in knowing that the ways, thoughts and mind of GOD are higher than ours.

We follow the teachings of CHRIST, receiving the Kingdom of God like little children, that we might live the mind of CHRIST, applying the mind of CHRIST through the lens of HIS life and teachings. We endeavor to let GOD reign over us and to imitate CHRIST always. 

We live a life centered around support for one another, with strong, loving relationships. We work toward encouraging one another, learning and teaching the ways of CHRIST, talking of them when sitting at home, traveling to and fro, before going to bed and after getting up in the morning.

We set out to emphasize the things of GOD, not being anxiously engaged with striving in vain occupations. Rather we seek to talk, sing, think and pray throughout the day on the will of GOD.

We never purpose to force anyone to believe as we believe. Belief in the truth and light of CHRIST do not come through coercion or force. This great and profound mystery, the greatest love that ever was or will be, is a love that invites and beckons all, but does not force a will upon any. 

The HOLY SPIRIT convicts everyone, convincing of unrighteousness and of the need for the salvation of the CHRIST, JESUS. The SPIRIT helps sinners become aware of their helpless and sad state. Each one must then decide. The SPIRIT might prod, push, call, beckon and move mysteriously, but does not decide on our behalf or force us to decide. Each alone must choose to accept.

We desire always to be yielded to the SPIRIT of GOD, following JESUS, that we might then have love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (the fruits of the SPIRIT). 

We put our trust in GOD. Realizing what GOD has done for us, we feel a desire to delight in the will of GOD. Having turned from the old life (having repented), we now remain (abiding) in a love-faith relationship with GOD and other believers, growing in this relationship. 

We accept the call to the way of CHRIST, believing in the Kingdom of God, dying to self and choosing to follow in the way of light, truth, agape love and nonresistance. 

We choose to follow the way of JESUS, repenting and turning from the ways of mankind onto that narrow path, well-defined by GOD when He sent His SON, the CHRIST, to show and teach us. Loving HIM, we follow the teachings of CHRIST to do the will of the FATHER, living in CHRIST with CHRIST also living in us. We aim to remain steadfast, abiding in CHRIST our LORD and Savior. 

When we follow CHRIST, we do the will of the FATHER. We do this with other believers who truly are also following CHRIST (we know them by their fruits). Other true followers encourage, respond with like love, and also help make our lights shine brighter, in order that we might all overcome the surrounding darkness.

We strive to live out CHRIST every moment of every day in our lives with all people - in all places at all times.  We set out to do the gospel, to embody, realize, and enact the Good News. The doing is learned by the imitating of CHRIST with other disciples and by the guidance of the HOLY SPIRIT. We seek to follow CHRIST not just in our minds, but with all our hearts, souls, minds and strengths!

Above all, we endeavor to accomplish the ‘Royal Law’ given by our KING:  that we LOVE THE LORD OUR GOD WITH ALL OUR HEART, SOUL, STRENGTH AND MIND and LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS AS OURSELVES, DOING TO OTHERS AS WE’D HAVE THEM DO TO US. 

In so doing, we love GOD, our neighbors and even our enemies. We can only do this by dying to ourselves, yielding completely to GOD. JESUS then abides in us as we are abiding in CHRIST, following HIS teachings.

We then live life in a different nation with a different tribe of people. The nation is the kingdom of JESUS. The tribe is the Bride of CHRIST, HIS brothers and sisters that HE will judge to be following HIM as disciples. 

We seek first the Kingdom of GOD. JESUS is light and truth. Joining HIS Kingdom, we become like little lights of HIS, following HIM. CHRIST gives us teachings so we’ll put them into practice today. In so doing we demonstrate to everyone around us what the earth would look like if we all follow the KING (KING JESUS), loving like JESUS. This is the only cure for humanity. We glorify HIM by following HIM. By following HIM we’re both loving HIM and those around us. If we’re following HIM, all who see this will glorify our FATHER in HEAVEN. This is part of the meaning of the Kingdom:  living out love, real love, by following CHRIST.
