Perfect Love

1 Jn. 4:17, KJV Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                As He is by nature, so are we by nature…  Jesus' Bride, the Church, has been called out of darkness to become a Companion of like nature and ability—not when we die and go to Heaven, but in this "world." We are too quick to dismiss His decreed destiny to cover this cosmos—this "temporary, cosmetic, melts-in-the-fire, transient system, order, and arrangement of things"—with His glory. That is why He purposely left His Body behind when He ascended to the Father.  He becomes we!  This end-time, "third-day people" will be given dominion in the earth by virtue of their having been conformed to His image and likeness. According to John the apostle, our global ministry will be marked by "boldness." This is translated from the Greek word parrhesia used in First John 4:17. It means "all out-spokenness, frankness, bluntness, publicity; by implication, assurance."Such is the dynamic ministry of the "new creation many-membered Man" who will go forth in corporate anointing!
