God WILL!!!
If all of Pauline theology had to be summarized in one statement, Paul did it in this scripture. However, just because it is a shorter statement is not reason to expect for it to be any less daunting that the rest of the 13 letters put together. It is not!!!
Regardless of our humanity, regardless of our situation, regardless of our age in God, we are accountable for maintaining the standard of perfection that is in God.
We must preach it, live it and desire it! Then, we are going to be going through some things. There will be some trials and tribulations, but that is what God allows in order for us to grow…embrace them! Then, as the first century Pentecostal church, we are to be with one accord, of one mind which is of Christ! Then, lastly, we are to live in peace with God, others and ourselves. As easy as this would seem, this is actually the most difficult for out flesh! Like Michael Jackson once sang, the flesh “Wanna Be Startin Something”. But, know that if we do these things, Paul is correct that God will be with us and Love and Peace will reign in our lives and living.
