The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as shown in 1Corinthians 16:19; with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.

Here we are at the close of chapter 16 and the close of 1Corinthians. We are about to enter into a loaded epistle full of gold for the redeemed child to sink his teeth into by the Holy Spirit's enlightenment. This being of GOD's design to keep the things hidden, hidden from the unbelieving of his humanity until such a time that they seek him with an open heart in trust. For only then will one receive what the Word, promise and promises are all about. It was about a year ago that we took a look into them one by one.


1Corinthians 16:19-20, 21-24 "The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand. If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen." (KJV)

1Corinthians 16:19-20, 21-24 "The churches of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca, together with the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord. All the brothers send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen." (ESV)

1Corinthians 16:19-20, 21-24 "The churches in all of Asia salute you; also Aquila and Priscilla and the church in their home greet you fondly in the LORD. The whole church family sends you big hugs from here; greet one another with a sacred kiss.
This letter carries my personal signature. Antone who prefers the Law above Grace remains under the curse mentality. Jesus Christ has come; grace is the authority of his Lordship; we are so fond of him! He is the Messiah the world was waiting for. (The Aramaic word, maranatha, means our LORD has come!
Instead of reading the curse when disaster strikes, Habakkuk realized that the Promise out dated performance as the basis for humanity's acquittal! Deuteronomy 28 would no longer be the motivation or the measure of right or wrong behavior! [You cannot force an old worn cloth to do what a new one can, nor can you put new wine into an old dried wine skin for it will break and you will loose the new wine.] "Though the fig tree does not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the GOD of my salvation. GOD, the LORD, is my strength; he makes my feet like hinds' feet, he makes me tread upon my high places." [Habakkuk 3:17-19 RSV] ) His grace is with you; you are highly favored! My love is with you; our lives are intertwined in Christ Jesus. I salute him! The Amen! Paul." (The Mirror)

So ends the 1Corinthians letter.
Next time the LORD willing we shall begin out study of 2Corinthians as we have done with this one and as we shall with those yet to come. My the LORD increase his grace within you and yours to face each day a new in him.
